Description

Die Erfindung betrifft einen Flaschenöffner gemäss dem Oberbegriff des Patentanspruchs 1. Der Flaschenöffner umfasst einen Korkenzieher mit einem Drehgriff und einer im Drehgriff verankerten, in einen Korken eindrehbaren, axialen Schraube und einen vom Korkenzieher getrennt benützbaren Kapselschneider.The invention relates to a bottle opener according to the preamble of Patent claim 1. The bottle opener comprises a corkscrew with a Turning handle and a rotary handle anchored, screwed into a cork, axial Screw and a capsule cutter that can be used separately from the corkscrew.

Es sind verschiedene Flaschenöffner bekannt, bei denen ein Korkenzieher mit einer Schneide zum Schneiden von Kapseln ausgerüstet ist. Der Vorteil dieser Flaschenöffner ist, dass der am Korkenzieher ausgebildete Kapselschneider immer zusammen mit dem Korkenzieher zur Hand ist. Nachteilig daran ist jedoch, dass beim Kapseln Schneiden jeweils der ganze Korkenzieher in die Hand genommen und mit der Schneide um den Flaschenhals herumgeführt werden muss. Zudem ist bei diesen Flaschenöffnern jeweils lediglich eine Schneide vorhanden, so dass ein solcher Korkenzieher zudem um 360 Grad um den Flaschenhals herumgeführt zu werden braucht, um die Kapsel vollständig abzuschneiden.There are various bottle openers known in which a corkscrew with a Cutting edge is equipped for cutting capsules. The advantage of this Bottle opener is that the capsule cutter formed on the corkscrew always along with the corkscrew at hand. The disadvantage of this, however, is that When capsules are cut, the whole corkscrew is picked up and with the cutting edge around the neck of the bottle. In addition is in these bottle openers only one cutting edge present, so that a such Corkenzieher also led around 360 degrees around the bottleneck be needed to completely cut off the capsule.

Es gibt auch Flaschenöffner mit einem Korkenzieher und einem dazu gelieferten, vom Korkenzieher getrennt zu benützenden Kapselschneider. Der Vorteil eines solchen Sets ist, dass der Kapselschneider ein kleines, handliches, vom Korkenzieher getrennt benützbares Teil mit vorzugsweise mehr als einer Schneide ist. Dank der Mehrzahl von Schneiden ist der notwendige Drehwinkel zum Rundumschneiden der Kapsel möglichst klein. Diese Sets weisen aber den Nachteil auf, dass der Kapselschneider und der Korkenzieher auch gerne getrennte Wege gehen, so dass im Bedarfsfall dem Benützer nicht unbedingt beide Teile vorliegen. Um dies zu vermeiden, werden beispielsweise Halter zum Einsetzen von Korkenzieher und Kapselschneider bereitgestellt.There are also bottle openers with a corkscrew and a delivered, Separated from the corkscrew to be used capsule cutter. The advantage of a such sets is that the capsule cutter a small, handy, from the corkscrew is separately usable part with preferably more than one cutting edge. thanks to the Plurality of cutting is the necessary angle of rotation for all-round cutting Capsule as small as possible. But these sets have the disadvantage that the Kapselschneider and the corkscrew also like to go separate ways, so in the If necessary the user does not necessarily have both parts. To this, too be avoided, for example, holders for inserting corkscrew and Capsule cutter provided.

Aus der US-A-6,151,992 ist ein selbstziehender Korkenzieher bekannt, der ein Führungsteil zum Abstützen eines Schraubenteils auf dem Flaschenhals und ein in das Führungsteil von oben einführbares Schraubenteil mit einer an einem Drehgriff befestigte Schraube aufweist. Der Drehgriff besitzt klappbare Endabschnitte. Mit abgeklappten Endabschnitten ist der Schraubenteil von unten in das Führungsteil einsteckbar, damit zum Aufbewahren des Korkenziehers die Spitze der Schraube durch das obere Ende des Führungsteils geschützt ist. Im Führungsteil ist ein Kapselschneider ausgebildet. Zum Benützen des Kapselschneiders muss das Schraubenteil aus dem Führungsteil entfernt werden.From US-A-6,151,992 a self-pulling corkscrew is known which a Guide member for supporting a screw part on the bottleneck and a in the guide member from above insertable screw part with a on a rotary handle having fastened screw. The rotary handle has foldable end sections. With folded end portions is the screw part from below into the guide part insertable, so that for storing the corkscrew the tip of the screw is protected by the upper end of the guide part. In the guide part is a Capsule cutter formed. To use the capsule cutter must the Screw part are removed from the guide part.

Nachteilig an diesem Korkenzieher ist, dass das Schraubenteil aus dem Korkenzieher entnommen werden muss, um den Kapselschneider benützen zu können. Zudem ist der Kapselschneider lediglich mit zwei gegenüberliegenden Klingen ausgerüstet und muss demzufolge um mindestens 180 Grad gedreht werden. Auch ist mit Klingen ein im Vergleich mit Schneidrädern schlechteres Schneidresultat zu erwarten.The disadvantage of this corkscrew is that the screw part from the corkscrew must be removed in order to use the capsule cutter can. In addition is the capsule cutter equipped with only two opposite blades and must therefore be rotated by at least 180 degrees. Also is with blades to expect a worse than in cutting wheels cutting result.

Die US-B-6,196,086, die dem Oberbegriff des Anspruchs 1 entspricht, offenbart einen Kapselschneider in Kombination mit einem Korkenzieher. Der Kapselschneider ist ringförmig gestaltet, mit einer Durchgangsöffnung durch den Ring. Der Korkenzieher ist vom Kapselschneider trennbar und besitzt zwei gegeneinander und voneinander weg schwenkbare Arme. Diese Arme sind an ihren unteren Enden zusammenlaufend und derart ausgebildet, dass sie mit den unteren Enden in die Durchgangsöffnung des Kapselschneiders passen. Dabei dient der Kapselschneider als Sockel, der den Korkenzieher in einer aufrechten Position halten kann. Der Kapselschneider ist mit zwei Schneidrädern ausgerüst. In einer Ausführungsform ist noch ein zusätzliches Führungsrad vorgesehen. Die Räder schliessen gleiche Winkel zwischen sich ein.The US-B-6,196,086, which corresponds to the preamble of claim 1 disclosed one Capsule cutter in combination with a Corkscrew. The capsule cutter is ring-shaped, with a Through opening through the ring. The corkscrew is from the capsule cutter separable and has two against each other and away from each other pivotable arms. These arms converge at their lower ends and are shaped that they are with the lower ends in the through hole of the capsule cutter fit. The capsule cutter serves as a base, the corkscrew in a can hold upright position. The capsule cutter is equipped with two cutting wheels ausgerüst. In one embodiment, there is still an additional guide wheel intended. The wheels enclose equal angles between them.

Nachteilig an diesem Set ist, dass der Kapselschneider vom Korkenzieher getrennt werden muss, um den Korkenzieher zu benützen. Zudem muss der Kapselschneider um wenigstens 180 Grad gedreht werden, um die Kapsel ringsum durchzuschneiden. The disadvantage of this set is that the capsule cutter separated from the corkscrew must be to use the corkscrew. In addition, the capsule cutter rotated at least 180 degrees to the capsule all around cut through.

Aus der US-A-5,351,579 schliesslich ist ein aufladbarer, elektrischer Korkenzieher bekannt. Dieser besitzt einen vor- und rückwärts schaltbaren Antrieb. In einem Körper sind eine aufladbare Energiequelle und der Antrieb untergebracht. Aus dem Körper steht axial eine vom Antrieb angetriebene Korkenschraube vor. Ein Hüllstück besitzt ein erstes Ende, in welches der Körper verschieblich eingesetzt werden kann, und ein zweites Ende, das in zwei Arme unterteilt ist und einen Anschlag bildet, der mit einer Flaschenöffnung zusammenwirken kann. Zwischen diesen Armen ist ein C-förmiger Kapselschneider einsteckbar. Der Kapselschneider ist mit drei Schneidrädern ausgerüstet.From US-A-5,351,579 finally is a rechargeable, electric corkscrew known. This has a forward and reverse switchable drive. In one Bodies are a rechargeable source of energy and the drive is housed. From the Body protrudes axially from a drive driven corkscrew. A Hüllstück has a first end into which the body can be slidably inserted, and a second end which is divided into two arms and forms a stop which can interact with a bottle opening. Between these arms is one C-shaped capsule cutter can be inserted. The capsule cutter is with three Equipped with cutting wheels.

Nachteilig an diesem Korkenzieher ist, dass der Kapselschneider vom Korkenzieher entfernt werden muss, um den Korkenzieher benützen zu können.The disadvantage of this corkscrew is that the capsule cutter from the corkscrew must be removed in order to use the corkscrew.

Es ist deshalb Aufgabe der Erfindung, einen Flaschenöffner mit einem Korkenzieher und einem vom Korkenzieher getrennt benützbaren Kapselschneider zu schaffen, bei welchem der Korkenzieher auch dann benützbar ist, wenn der Kapselschneider am Korkenzieher angeordnet ist.It is therefore an object of the invention to provide a bottle opener with a corkscrew and to create a separate from the corkscrew capsule cutter, at which the corkscrew is also useful when the capsule cutter on Corkscrew is arranged.

Diese Aufgabe ist erfindungsgemäss durch die kennzeichnenden Merkmale des Anspruchs 1 gelöst. Beim eingangs erwähnten Flaschenöffner ist der Kapselschneider zur Aufbewahrung mit dem Korkenzieher zusammensteckbar. Dadurch sind der Kapselschneider und der Korkenzieher lösbar miteinander verbindbar. Dies gewährleistet einerseits, dass Kapselschneider und Korkenzieher zusammen aufbewahrt, hervorgenommen und zur Benützung bereitgestellt werden, aber andererseits auch, dass die Kapsel mit einem vom Korkenzieher getrennten Teil geschnitten werden kann.This object is achieved according to the invention by the characterizing features of Claim 1 solved. The above-mentioned bottle opener is the Capsule cutter can be plugged together with the corkscrew for storage. As a result, the capsule cutter and the corkscrew are detachable with each other connectable. This ensures on the one hand that capsule cutter and corkscrew kept together, taken out and made available for use, but on the other hand also that the capsule with a part separated from the corkscrew can be cut.

Der Kapselschneider ist am Drehgriff angeordnet. Dank der Anordnung des Kapselschneiders am Drehgriff, muss dieser zum Betätigen des Korkenziehers nicht entfernt werden. Vielmehr komplettiert er den Drehgriff. Dies hat den Vorteil, dass bei Flaschen ohne Kapsel, der Kapselschneider an seinem Ort bleiben kann und daher nicht verloren geht. Zudem ist diese Lösung auch bei Korkenziehern anwendbar, die kein Distanzteil aufweisen, und daher nicht selbstziehend sind.The capsule cutter is arranged on the rotary handle. Thanks to the arrangement of the Capsule cutter on the handle, this does not need to operate the corkscrew be removed. Rather, he completes the twist grip. This has the advantage that for bottles without a capsule, the capsule cutter can stay in place and therefore not lost. In addition, this solution is also for corkscrews applicable, which have no spacer, and therefore are not self-pulling.

Vorteilhaft ist im Drehgriff ein von aussen zugänglicher Hohlraum vorhanden. Der Kapselschneider ist dann in diesen Hohlraum einsetzbar und aus dem Hohlraum herausnehmbar. Es kann zwischen Kapselschneider und Korkenzieher vorteilhaft eine Klemmverbindung oder eine Einschnapp-Verbindung vorgesehen sein. Diese haben den Vorteil, dass die beiden Teile zusammengesteckt werden können und sich nicht unbeabsichtigt voneinander lösen.It is advantageous in the rotary handle accessible from the outside cavity available. Of the Capsule cutter is then inserted into this cavity and out of the cavity removable. It can be beneficial between capsule cutter and corkscrew a clamp connection or a snap connection may be provided. These have the advantage that the two parts can be put together and themselves not inadvertently separate from each other.

Vorteilhaft ist der Hohlraum U-förmig um einen zentralen Befestigungsblock für die Schraube ausgebildet. Der Kapselschneider seinerseits weist dann dieser U-Form entsprechend eine Ausnehmung auf, in welcher der Befestigungsblock Platz findet. Dies erlaubt eine Platz sparende Anordnung des Kapselschneiders im Drehgriff des Korkenziehers.Advantageously, the cavity is U-shaped around a central mounting block for the Screw formed. The capsule cutter then has this U-shape according to a recess in which the mounting block fits. This allows a space-saving arrangement of the capsule cutter in the rotary handle of Corkscrew.

Ist der Kapselschneider in einer die Achse der Schraube enthaltenden Ebene in den Hohlraum einführbar, so kann der Kapselschneider Teil eines Griffflügels des Drehgriffes sein, so dass ein vorhandenes Volumen des Drehgriffes optimal genutzt ist.Is the capsule cutter in a plane containing the axis of the screw in the Cavity insertable, so the capsule cutter part of a handle of the wing Be rotary handle, so that an existing volume of the rotary handle used optimally is.

Vorteilhaft ist der Kapselschneider U-förmig. Dadurch passt er zum Hohlraum mit dem zentral angeordneten Befestigungsblock. Wenigstens an einem Schenkel des U muss der Kapselschneider wenigstens einen Schneidkopf aufweisen. Es können vorteilhaft zwei, drei oder vier Schneidköpfe vorgesehen sein. Diese sind vorzugsweise auf beide Schenkel verteilt. Vorteilhaft ist der Steg des U elastisch ausgebildet. Wenn nun nämlich der Kapselschneider an beiden Schenkeln des U einander gegenüberliegende Griffflächen aufweist, können durch Druck auf die Griffflächen die an den Schenkeln vorliegenden Schneidköpfe gegen die Kapsel geführt werden. Mit einer Drehung des Kapselschneiders um ca. 90,120 oder 180 Grad, je nach Anzahl und Anordnung der Schneidköpfe, kann die Kapsel ringsum geschnitten werden.Advantageously, the capsule cutter is U-shaped. As a result, he fits in with the cavity the centrally arranged mounting block. At least on one leg of the U the capsule cutter must have at least one cutting head. It can advantageously be provided two, three or four cutting heads. These are preferably distributed on both legs. Advantageously, the web of the U is elastic educated. If now the capsule cutter on both legs of the U Having opposite gripping surfaces, by pressure on the Grip surfaces the present on the legs cutting heads against the capsule be guided. With a rotation of the capsule cutter by about 90,120 or 180 Degree, depending on the number and arrangement of the cutting heads, the capsule can surround get cut.

Vorteilhaft weist der Drehgriff zwei im Wesentlichen parallele Wandungen auf, die zu einer die Schraubenachse enthaltenden Ebene etwa parallel sind. Dies ist in Kunststoff sehr einfach herstellbar. Vorteilhaft ist der Hohlraum zur Aufnahme des Kapselschneiders zwischen diesen Wandungen ausgebildet. Diese Wandungen bilden beim Drehen des Drehgriffes zweckmässigerweise Angriffsflächen für die Finger des Benützers des Korkenziehers. So sind Griffflügel gebildet durch diese Wandungen und den darin eingefügten Kapselschneider.Advantageously, the rotary handle on two substantially parallel walls, the to a plane containing the screw axis are approximately parallel. This is in Plastic very easy to produce. Advantageously, the cavity for receiving the Capsule cutter formed between these walls. These walls form when turning the rotary handle conveniently attack surfaces for the Finger of the user of the corkscrew. So are handle wings formed by these Walls and the capsule cutter inserted therein.

Vorteilhafte Korkenzieher weisen in bekannter Weise ein Distanzgehäuse auf. Dieses dient dem Übertragen von beim Entkorken einer Flasche von der Schraube auf den Drehgriff wirkenden Zugkräfte in Form von Druckkräften auf die zu entkorkende Flasche. Vorteilhaft ist dabei der Drehgriff zusammen mit der Schraube gegenüber dem Distanzgehäuse in Achsrichtung der Schraube verschiebbar. Dies ermöglicht, zwischen einer Auflagefläche zum Übertragen der Druckkräfte vom Distanzgehäuse auf die Flasche und dem Drehgriff im Distanzgehäuse einen Bereich mit in den Korken einpressbaren Rippen auszubilden. In diesem Bereich kann der Korken mittels dieser Rippen gegen ein Verdrehen gesichert und so die Schraube aus dem Korken ausgedreht werden.Advantageous corkscrews have a distance housing in a known manner. This is used to transfer from when uncorking a bottle from the screw to the Turning handle acting tensile forces in the form of compressive forces on the zukorkende Bottle. Advantageously, the rotary handle with the screw opposite the distance housing in the axial direction of the screw slidably. This makes possible, between a bearing surface for transmitting the pressure forces from the distance housing on the bottle and the rotary handle in the distance housing an area with in the To form corks press-fit ribs. In this area can be the cork secured by means of these ribs against twisting and so the screw from the Corks are turned out.
