Definitions

  • the invention relates to a kitchen tool for opening rotating lids of containers such as glasses and bottles according to the preamble of claim 1.
  • Rotary lids are often e.g. Hard to open for older people.
  • the force necessary for opening is not available to some.
  • the necessary friction between the hand and the edge of the lid can often not be achieved without tools.
  • the movable jaw is expediently arranged on a jaw carrier which is movably mounted on a guide disk.
  • the jaw carrier with one acts advantageously over the Guide disk rotatable adjusting disk together such that the distance of the clamping jaw to the center can be changed by a relative rotation between the adjusting disk and the guide disk.
  • Such a rotary movement is very simple to carry out, so that even technically awkward people can adjust the lid opener to a specific radius of a rotary lid.
  • a rotary handle can be connected to the adjusting disk, or there can be two levers on the handle which can be pivoted relative to one another in the manner of forceps handles, the relative movement of which, e.g. via a gear drive, results in a relative movement of the guide disc and the adjusting disc.
  • the adjusting disk can also be connected to the handle and the guide disk can be made rotatable relative to the handle, the reverse configuration is nevertheless preferred. It is therefore advantageous to connect the guide disc to the handle. As a result, force can be transferred to the clamping jaws for unscrewing a rotating lid from the handle via the guide disk.
  • the jaw carrier is preferably linearly guided in a guide rail on the guide disc. But it can also be pivoted to the guide disc.
  • the clamping jaw can be arranged on a toothed swivel part.
  • the teeth of the pivoting part are in engagement with the teeth of a gear wheel of the adjusting disk.
  • a guide member is present on the jaw carrier which engages in a spiral guide on the adjusting disk. This allows both a training in which the Klem back carrier is pivotable and one in which it is translationally displaceable.
  • the guide parts of a plurality of jaw carriers engage in one and the same spiral guide. This allows a stronger formation of the channel walls of the spiral guide.
  • the spiral guides are not guided with the geometrically smallest possible inclination from the inside out. Nevertheless, the inclination is advantageously less on the outside than on the inside. Since the lid diameters are standardized, the spiral guide can be flatter in the areas in which the clamping jaws are at a suitable distance from the center in order to be able to grip a certain lid radius than in the other areas. In the other areas, there is no need for jamming between the guide part and the spiral guide, since they only have to be traversed to get from one standard cover radius to the next. It is therefore advantageous not to design the inclination of the spiral guide to be constant.
  • FIG. 1 shows a view of a lid opener with pivotable ones
  • FIG. 3 shows a side view of the lid opener according to FIG. 2,
  • Fig. 4 is a perspective view of a preferred embodiment
  • FIG. 5 shows a perspective view of the lid opener according to FIG. 4, but seen from the opposite side
  • FIG. 6 shows a perspective view of the adjusting disk with spiral track and twist grip
  • FIG. 7 shows a perspective view of the base part with guide disk and handle
  • FIG. 8 is a perspective view of a jaw with spring part and claw, 9 seen from the opposite side
  • FIG. 10 shows a perspective view of the jaw support
  • FIG. 11 shows a second perspective view of the jaw support according to FIG. 10.
  • FIG. 1 and 2 show a lid opener 11 according to the invention.
  • This has a handle 13 for rotating a lid held in the lid opener and three clamping jaws 15, 17, 19.
  • the handle 13 is part of a base part 23.
  • the handle also comprises a lever 21 articulated on the base part 23.
  • the base part 23 then goes to the handle 13 into a carrier disk 25 (see FIG. 3).
  • the carrier disk 25 is at the same time an adjusting disk 27. It has three " spiral guides 29 on its front side for adjusting the clamping jaws.
  • a guide disk 31 arranged in front of it is mounted on the adjusting disk 27 in the center of the spiral guides 29 and its axis extends through the carrier disk 25.
  • the lever 21 has a toothing which cooperates with the gear toothing of the guide disk 31 beyond its articulation point ,
  • the adjusting disk 27 has the spiral guides on its front side and a gear wheel on its rear side, which can be actuated with the handle.
  • the adjustment disc is on the
  • Carrier disc 25 is rotatably supported and the guide disc 31 is non-rotatably connected to the carrier disc.
  • the pivot levers 35 each have a guide part on the other side, for example a bolt, which engages in the spiral guide 29.
  • these guide parts are pivoted in the spiral guide around the center of rotation of the pivot lever and at the same time are necessarily moved away from the center of rotation or towards the center of rotation. Accordingly, the jaws 15, 17, 19 are pivoted together with the pivot levers.
  • FIGS. 4 to 11 A preferred exemplary embodiment is shown in FIGS. 4 to 11.
  • Figure 4 shows this from its underside.
  • 4 shows the clamping jaw 19 with the carrier part 45 twice, namely in an outermost 60 and an "innermost position 50.
  • FIG. 5 shows the same embodiment from the top.
  • the base part 23 is made in one piece with a handle 13.
  • An adjusting disk 27 is rotatably mounted thereon.
  • the adjusting disk 27 is provided with a turning handle 41 which is connected to the adjusting disk 27 in a rotationally fixed manner (FIG. 5).
  • the guide disk 31 has three radial guide slots 43 which are connected to one another in the center. In each guide slot 43 there is a carrier part 45 of the clamping jaws 15, 17, 19.
  • Each carrier part 45 (FIGS. 10 and 11) has a retaining plate 47 with which it engages behind the edge of the guide slot 43.
  • the connection point of the three guide slots in the center is expanded in such a way (FIG. 7) that the retaining plates 47 can be pushed through the guide disk 31 at the connection point.
  • the guide slots 43 themselves are less wide than the retaining plate 47.
  • a pin 49 projects from the retaining plate 47, with which the carrier part 45 engages in a spiral guide 29 in the adjusting disk 27.
  • the carrier part 45 also has a translation guide 51, which is guided between the edges of the guide slot 43, and a slide plate 53, which rests on the guide track of the guide disk 27.
  • the clamping jaws 15, 17, 19 lie over the guide disk. The clamping jaws can be snapped onto a holding column 55 on the carrier part 45.
  • the adjusting disc 27 is shown.
  • the adjusting disk 27 is composed of a spiral guide disk 57 and a rotary handle disk 59. In the spiral guide disk 57, three concentric spiral guides 29 are formed. Each spiral guide 29 is a spiral trench.
  • the three trenches lie alternately next to each other.
  • the three spiral guides are identical and only rotated by 120 degrees to each other.
  • the slope of the spiral revolutions shown is in each case the same size for an equal change in angle.
  • the inclination of the spiral guide 29 decreases from the inside to the outside.
  • the inclination can also be uniform, so that the incline increases from the inside to the outside in accordance with the length differences of each handling.
  • the slope is advantageously decreasing and the slope increasing.
  • FIG. 12 there may also be only a single spiral filling 29 (FIG. 12) in which all three carrier parts 45 engage.
  • the slope of the spiral guide can be practically zero in each case over 240 degrees. Over a subsequent 90 degrees, it can increase to such an extent that one of the three clamping jaws 15, 17, 19 is moved sufficiently far towards the center to achieve a clamping. The remaining 30 degrees serve the transition to the next lid size.
  • the transition area can encompass more than 30 degrees, so that the areas with a very slight inclination are rotated relative to one another.
  • the slope can be of any size in this area.
  • a similar gradation of the spiral guide 29 is also possible with three spiral guides.
  • FIG. 7 shows that the handle 13 and the guide disk 31 together form the base part 23.
  • the guide disk 31 is circular and has the three guide slots 43 for the carrier parts 45.
  • the translation guides 51 are guided in the guide slots 43.
  • the guide slots 43 are on both sides Support ribs 61 formed.
  • the adjusting disk 27 with the spiral guide 29 rests on this.
  • the actual Kêtin jaws 15 are shown in Figures 8 and 9. These are composed of a metal claw 73 and a spring part 75 made of plastic, in which the claw is held.
  • the spring part 75 can be clipped onto the support column 55 on the carrier part 45.
  • An S-shaped spring lip 77 is formed on the spring part 75, which resiliently yields to the load when the clamping jaw 15 is loaded in the direction of the arrow 79 when a rotating lid is opened.
  • the clamping jaw 15 can be pivoted about the holding column 55 for this sprung movement.
  • the claw 73 has a toothed curve with which it engages the lid.
  • This rounding has a circular center that is not concentric with that of the pivoting center in the axis of the holding column 55. The circular center of the rounding is therefore also pivoted in the direction of the rotating cover. This ensures a clamping effect between the claw 73 and the rotating cover.
