Description
Die Erfindung bezieht sich auf einen Dosenöffner zum Öffnen von Dosen, insbesondere von Getränkedosen, mit einem Dosendeckel.The invention relates to a can opener for opening cans, in particular beverage cans, with a can lid.
Ein derartiger Dosenöffner ist z.B. aus der
Beim Verwenden dieses bekannten Dosenöffners zum Öffnen von Getränkedosen werden die ausgeschnittenen Dosendeckel-Abschnitze mehr oder weniger reproduzierbar in dem Ausschneidemittel aufgenommen. Nach mehreren Öffnungsvorgängen haben sich in dem Ausschneidemittel mehrere ausgeschnittene Dosendeckel-Abschnitte angehäuft. Diese müssen von Zeit zu Zeit aus dem Ausschneidemittel ausgestossen werden, damit sich das Ausschneidemittel nicht zu sehr mit Dosendeckel-Abschnitten füllt, was früher oder später dazu führt, dass keine weiteren ausgeschnittenen Dosendeckel-Abschnitte mehr aufgenommen werden können, so dass diese in die offene Getränkedose und in das darin enthaltene Getränk fallen. Dieses unkontrollierbare Verhalten der ausgeschnittenen Dosendeckel-Abschnitte kann auch schon vorher auftreten, wenn sich mehrere solcher Abschnitte in dem Ausschneidemittel befinden, d.h. bevor das Ausschneidemittel mit Dosendeckel-Abschnitten überfüllt ist. Es empfielt sich daher ein regelmässiges Entleeren des Ausschneidemittels. Dies ist aber mühsam, umständlich und zeitraubend, weil das angestrebte Öffnen von Getränkedosen "am laufenden Band" dazu immer wieder unterbrochen werden muss.In using this known can opener to open beverage cans, the cut-out can lid carcasses are more or less reproducibly received in the cut-out means. After several opening operations, several cut-out can lid sections have accumulated in the cut-out means. These must be ejected from the cut-out means from time to time so that the cut-out means does not fill too much with can lid sections, which sooner or later means that no more cut-out can lid sections can be picked up, so that they open Beverage can and fall into the beverage contained therein. This uncontrollable behavior of the cut-out can lid sections may also occur in advance if there are several such sections in the cut-out means, i. before the cut-out means is overfilled with can lid sections. It is therefore recommended to periodically empty the Ausschnittemittels. But this is tedious, cumbersome and time-consuming, because the desired opening of beverage cans "churning out" must be interrupted again and again.
Aus der
Die Bedienung dieses Dosenöffners erfordert aber für das Ausschneiden des Dosendeckels aus der Dose und für das Ausstossen des ausgeschnittenen Dosendeckels aus dem Schneidmesser zwei gesonderte Handbewegungen. Der Bediener muss nämlich entweder beide Hände verwenden, indem er mit seiner einen Hand den Hebel für das Ausschneiden und mit seiner anderen Hand den Bügel für das Ausstossen betätigt, oder er verwendet nur eine Hand, indem er mit dieser Hand zunächst den Hebel zum Ausschneiden und anschliessend den Bügel zum Ausstossen betätigt.The operation of this can opener but requires for the cutting out of the can lid from the box and for the ejection of the cut can lid from the cutting knife two separate hand movements. The operator must either use both hands by using one hand to cut the lever and one hand to push the ejector, or use only one hand by using this hand to cut the lever first then pressed the clip for ejection.
Der Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zugrunde, die genannten Probleme des eingangs beschriebenen Dosenöffners zu beseitigen.The invention has for its object to eliminate the above problems of the can opener described above.
Zur Lösung dieser Aufgabe stellt die Erfindung einen Dosenöffner zum Öffnen von Dosen, insbesondere von Getränkedosen, mit einem Dosendeckel bereit, wobei der Dosenöffner einen Grundkörper, ein Haltermittel zum Aufnehmen und Halten der Dose, ein Ausschneidemittel zum Ausschneiden zumindest eines Teils des Dosendeckels, ein Antriebsmittel zum Antreiben des Ausschneidemittels und ein Ausstossmittel zum Ausstossen des ausgeschnittenen Teils des Dosendeckels aufweist, wobei das Ausschneidemittel eine Schneidkante aufweist und an dem Grundkörper vertikal gleitend gelagert ist und so ausgebildet ist, dass es nach dem Ausschneiden des zumindest einen Teils des Dosendeckels den ausgeschnittenen Teil festhalten bzw. festklemmen kann, dadurch gekennzeichnet, dass das Ausschneidemittel über eine Stange mit einer Berührungsplatte verbunden ist; dass das Antriebsmittel ein an einem Grundkörperteil drehbar gelagerter Hebel ist, welcher eine erste Berührungsfläche und einen Fortsatz mit einer zweiten Berührungsfläche aufweist; und dass das Ausstossmittel mit dem Dosenöffner-Grundkörper feststehend verbunden ist; wobei die erste Berührungsfläche an die Oberseite der Berührungsptatte heranbewegt werden kann, um das Ausschneidemittel in einer Stossrichtung an den Dosendeckel heranzubewegen und durch diesen hindurchzudrücken; und wobei die zweite Berührungsfläche an die Unterseite der Berührungsplatte heranbewegt werden kann, um das Ausschneidemittel in einer zur Stossrichtung entgegengesetzten Rückholrichtung von dem Deckelbereich der Dose wegzubewegen; wodurch das Ausschneidemittel bezüglich des Grundkörpers eine maximale Stoss-Stellung einnehmen kann, in welcher der Dosendeckel einer in dem Haltemittel aufgenommenen Dose von dem Ausschneidemittel durchstossen bzw. ausgeschnitten ist, und eine maximale Rückhol-Stellung einnehmen kann, in welcher der durchstossene bzw. ausgeschnittene Teil des Dosendeckels mittels des Ausstossmittels ausgestossen ist.To achieve this object, the invention provides a can opener for opening cans, in particular of beverage cans, with a can lid, wherein the can opener a main body, a holding means for receiving and holding the can, a cutting means for cutting at least a portion of the can lid, a drive means for driving the cutting-out means and an ejecting means for ejecting the cut-out part of the can lid, the cutting-out means having a cutting edge and being slidably mounted vertically on the base body and adapted to hold the cut-out part after cutting out the at least one part of the can lid or clamped, characterized in that the Ausschnittemittel is connected via a rod with a contact plate; that the drive means is a lever rotatably mounted on a base body part, which has a first contact surface and an extension with a second contact surface; and that the ejection means is fixedly connected to the can opener body; wherein the first contact surface can be moved up to the top of the touchpad to the Ausschnittemittel in Move a shock direction to the can lid and push through it; and wherein the second interface may be moved toward the underside of the interface panel to move the clipping means away from the lid region of the can in a direction of return opposite to the direction of impact; whereby the cut-out means can assume a maximum impact position with respect to the base body, in which the can lid of a can received in the holding means is pierced by the cut-out means and can assume a maximum return position, in which the pierced or cut-out part the can lid is ejected by the ejection means.
Dadurch erreicht man, dass beim Öffnen jeder Dose durch Ausschneiden eines Teils des Dosendeckels oder des gesamten Dosendeckels der ausgeschnittene Dosendeckel-Abschnitt sofort entfernt wird und nicht in die geöffnete Getränkedose zurückfällt. Durch dieses automatische Entfernen des jeweils ausgeschnittenen Dosendeckel-Abschnitts erübrigen sich die bisher notwendigen Unterbrechungen des Öffnens von Getränkedosen "am aufenden Band".This ensures that when you open each box by cutting out part of the can lid or the entire can lid, the cut-out can lid section is immediately removed and does not fall back into the opened beverage can. This automatic removal of each cut-out can lid section eliminates the previously necessary interruptions of the opening of beverage cans "on the end of the band".

Ein Antriebsmittel in Form eine Hebels 4 ist über zwei Lagerzapfen 4a des Hebels 4 an den beiden Drehlagern 6a drehbar gelagert. Der Hebel 4 besitzt eine insbesondere als Nockenfläche ausgebildete erste Berührungsfläche 4b, die durch eine erste Bewegung des Hebels 4 an die Oberseite einer Berührungsplatte 3c heranbewegt werden kann, die wiederum über eine Stange 3b mit einem Ausschneidemittel in Form eines zylinderförmigen Messers 3 mit einer Schneidkante 3a an seinem unteren Ende starr verbunden ist. Der Hebel 4 besitzt auch einen Fortsatz mit einer insbesondere als Nockenfläche ausgebildeten zweiten Berührungsfläche 4c, die durch eine zweite Bewegung des Hebels 4 an die Unterseite der Berührungsplatte 3c heranbewegt werden kann. Das zylinderförmige Messer 3 ist an seiner Stange 3b über ein elastisches Rückstellglied in Form von Federn, insbesondere Tellerfedern 9, mit dem oberen Grundkörperteil 6 verbunden.A drive means in the form of a
An dem unteren Grundkörperteil 7 ist das Ausschneidemittel in Form eines zylinderförmigen Messers 3, vertikal gleitend gelagert. Ausserdem ist an der Unterseite des Grundkörperteils 7 ein Haltemittel 10 in Form von zwei Klemmbacken 10a und 10b gelagert, mit dem eine Dose 2 an ihrem oberen Randfalz gehalten werden kann. Desweiteren ist dem unteren Grundkörper 7 ein Ausstossmittel 5 in Form von drei Auswerferstiften 5a, 5b und 5c befestigt, mit dem ein von der Dose 2 ausgeschnittener und im Innern des zylinderförmigen Messers 3 gehaltener Deckelausschnitt 2a aus dem Innernd des Messers 3 ausgestossen werden kann.At the lower
Der Hebel 4 befindet sich zunächst in einer Einbringung/Entnahme-Stellung P1 (Hebel 4 vertikal), in welcher eine Dose 2 ohne das Messer 3 zu berühren in den Dosenöffner 1 und in dessen Haltemittel 10 eingebracht und dann von diesem gehalten werden kann.The
Wenn man den Hebel 4 gemäss der ersten Bewegung in einer ersten Richtung gegen die Kraft der Tellerfedern 9 aus dieser Position P1 (Hebel 4 vertikal, Hebel-Umrisse gestrichelt gezeichnet) von oben nach unten bewegt, drückt die Berührungsfläche 4b von oben gegen die Oberseite der Berührungsplatte 3c, wodurch über die Stange 3b das zylinderförmige Messer 3 mit seiner Schneidkante 3a gegen den oberen Deckelteil der Dose 2 gedrückt wird und dieser von der Schneidkante 3a des zylinderförmigen Messers 3 ausgeschnitten wird, wobei das Messer bis zu einer maximalen Stoss-Stellung P2 nach unten gedrückt wird. Das zylinderförmige Messer 3 ist so ausgebildet, dass sich dabei der ausgeschnittene Deckelausschnitt 2a der Dose 2 im Innern des Messers 3 festklemmt.When the
Wenn man den Hebel 4 gemäss der zweiten Bewegung in einer zweiten Richtung aus dieser Position P2 (Hebel 4 horizontal, Hebel-Umrisse als durchgezogene Linie gezeichnet) von unten nach oben bewegt, drücken die Tellerfedern 9 die Stange 3b und die Berührungsplatte 3c aus dieser Stellung P2 bis in die Ausgangsstellung bzw. Einbringung/Entnahmestellung P1 (Hebel 4 vertikal) nach oben, in welcher die geöffnete Dose 2 ohne das Messer 3 zu berühren von dem Haltemittel 10 gelöst und dann aus dem Dösenöffner 1 entnommen werden kann.When the
Wenn man den Hebel 4 nun gemäss der zweiten Bewegung über die Einbringung/Entnahmestellung P1 (Hebel 4 vertikal) hinaus bewegt, gelangt der Hebel-Fortsatz mit seiner insbesondere als Nockenfläche ausgebildeten zweiten Berührungsfläche 4c mit der Unterseite der Berührungsplatte 3c in Berührung. Das zylinderförmige Messer 3 wird dann über seine Stange 3b gegen die Kraft der Tellerfedern 9 nach oben gedrückt. Dabei stösst der im Innern des zylinderförmigen Messers 3 festgeklemmte Deckelausschnitt 2a der mittlerweile aus dem Dosenöffner 1 entnommenen Dose 2 gegen die drei nach unten ragenden Auswerferstifte 5a, 5b und 5c, wodurch der Deckelausschnitt 2a nach unten ausgestossen wird. Der Dosenöffnungs-Zyklus ist damit beendet.When the

Die Klemmbacken 10a und 10b sind jeweils über eine Feder 12a bzw. 12b mit der plattenförmigen Unterseite des unteren Grundkörperteils 7 verbunden. Hierzu sind die Federn 12a und 12b jeweils zwischen einem Aufhängungsstift 7a bzw. 7b am Grundkörperteil 7 und einem Aufhängungsstift 13a am Klemmbacken 10a bzw. einem Aufhängungsstift 13b am Klemmbacken 10b eingespannt.The jaws 10a and 10b are each connected via a spring 12a and 12b to the plate-shaped underside of the lower
Die Klemmbacken 10a und 10b sind jeweils über einen Gleitstift 14a bzw. über einen Gleitstift 14b in einem Gleitlagersschlitz 8a bzw. in einem Gleitlagerschlitz 8b gleitend gelagert. Die Gleitstifte 14a und 14b sind mit den Klemmbacken 10a bzw. 10b starr verbunden, während die Gleitlagerschlitze 8a bzw. 8b in der plattenartigen Unterseite des unteren Grundkörperteils 7 eingearbeitet sind.The jaws 10a and 10b are slidably mounted respectively via a
Zum Einbringen einer Dose 2 in das Haltemittel 10 drückt man die Dose 2 mit ihrem Falz gegen die abgeschrägten Gleitflächen 15a und 15b des linken bzw. rechten Klemmbackens 10a bzw. 10b. Die Klemmbacken befinden sich zunächst in einer ersten geschlossenen Stellung ohne Dose. Durch das Drücken des Dosenfalzes gegen die angeschrägten Gleitflächen 15a und 15b werden die beiden Klemmbacken 10a und 10b um ihre Drehachse 11a bzw. 11 b gedreht, wobei die jeweilige Feder 12a bzw. 12b gedehnt wird. Dabei gleiten die Gleitstifte 14a und 14b in ihrem jeweiligen Geitlagerschlitz 8a bzw. 8b in der plattenförmigen Unterseite des unteren Grundkörperteils 7. Jeder der beiden Klemmbacken 10a und 10b ist somit an zwei Punkten, nämlich an seiner jeweiligen Drehachse 11a bzw. 11 b sowie an seinem jeweiligen Gleitstift 14a bzw. 14b gegen eine vertikale Verschiebung gelagert. Dies erhöht die Stabilität der beiden Klemmbacken 10a und 10b gegenüber den vertikalen Kräften, die beim Eindringen des Messers 3 in den Deckel der in den Klemmbacken 10a und 10b eingespannten Dose 2 auftreten.To insert a
Da die beiden Klemmbacken 10a und 10b unterhalb der plattenförmigen Unterseite des unteren Grundkörperteils 7 angeordnet sind, werden sie durch Flüssigkeit, die beim Aufschneiden einer Dose 2 austreten kann, weniger stark oder überhaupt nicht kontaktiert. Dies verhindert ein Verkleben der Klemmbacken 10a und 10b beim Öffnen einer grossen Anzahl von Bierdosen oder Limonadedosen.Since the two jaws 10 a and 10 b are arranged below the plate-shaped underside of the lower
