Description

TIRE-BOUCHON À LEVIER À DOUBLE POINT D'APPUI ET SON PROCÉDÉ D'UTILISATION  DOUBLE-POINT LEVER PLUG-LEVER AND METHOD OF USE
DOMAINE D'APPLICATION DE L'INVENTION  FIELD OF APPLICATION OF THE INVENTION
La présente invention a trait au domaine des tire- bouchons à levier à double point d'appui et notamment aux adaptations permettant d'en faciliter la fabrication et 1 ' utilisation .  The present invention relates to the field of double lever fulcrum lever corks and especially to adaptations to facilitate their manufacture and use.
DESCRIPTION DE L'ART ANTÉRIEUR  DESCRIPTION OF THE PRIOR ART
Le tire-bouchon à levier (appelé aussi sommelier) à double point d'appui, tel celui décrit dans le document EP0041026, est un tire-bouchon composé d'un manche sur lequel s'articule une queue de cochon et un levier préformé de deux crans formant deux points d'appui permettant l'extraction sans effort des bouchons en deux étapes.  The lever-type corkscrew (also called sommelier) with a double point of support, such as that described in document EP0041026, is a corkscrew composed of a handle on which a pigtail and a preformed lever of two notches forming two points of support allowing the effortless extraction of the stoppers in two stages.
Un mode de réalisation de ce tire-bouchon propose un levier unique à deux crans préformés dans ce dernier. Ce mode de réalisation présente comme inconvénient le fait que le premier appui ou cran n'étant pas escamotable, ce dernier utilisé en premier vient buter sur le bouchon lorsque le deuxième appui ou cran doit être utilisé.  One embodiment of this corkscrew offers a single lever with two notches preformed in the latter. This embodiment has the disadvantage that the first support or notch is not retractable, the latter used first abuts on the plug when the second support or notch is to be used.
Un autre mode de réalisation propose deux leviers séparés articulés en chape sur un même axe solidaire du manche, un petit levier comportant le cran correspondant à l'appui de la première étape s 'escamotant à l'intérieur d'un levier plus grand destiné à la deuxième étape. Néanmoins, la course du petit levier hors du premier n'est pas contrôlée exigeant alors une certaine pratique pour que ce mode de réalisation puisse être utilisé efficacement.  Another embodiment provides two separate levers hinged in clevis on the same axis integral with the handle, a small lever having the notch corresponding to the support of the first step s' retracting inside a larger lever for the second step. Nevertheless, the stroke of the small lever out of the first is not controlled then requiring some practice so that this embodiment can be used effectively.
Plus récemment, un double levier à premier appui escamotable a été proposé dans le document FR 2873108. Le tire-bouchon décrit dans ce document comprend deux leviers séparés articulés en chape sur un même axe solidaire du manche, le petit levier comportant le cran correspondant à l'appui de la première étape s 'escamotant à l'intérieur du grand levier pour la deuxième étape. Un ressort équipe l'articulation et maintient en position escamotée le premier levier à l'intérieur du second, en l'absence de poussée de l'utilisateur. Une languette solidaire du petit levier, vient coopérer avec des parties solidaires du deuxième levier afin de limiter la rotation du petit levier à l'intérieur du grand levier. More recently, a double lever with first retractable support has been proposed in the document FR 2873108. The corkscrew described in this document comprises two separate levers articulated clevis on the same axis integral with the handle, the small lever having the notch corresponding to the support of the first step squeezing inside the big lever for the second stage. A spring equips the joint and keeps in retracted position the first lever inside the second, in the absence of pushing the user. A tab secured to the small lever, cooperates with integral parts of the second lever to limit the rotation of the small lever inside the large lever.
Ce levier présente comme inconvénient de nécessiter un ressort afin d'escamoter le premier levier à l'intérieur du second ce qui grève le coût de ce tire- bouchon .  This lever has the disadvantage of requiring a spring to retract the first lever inside the second which strike the cost of this corkscrew.
Un autre inconvénient constaté par la demanderesse concerne la manipulation de la lame pliante classiquement intégrée au manche et articulée selon le même axe que les leviers. Cette lame est déployée avant l'utilisation de la queue de cochon, à des fins de découpe du matériau recouvrant le goulot pour donner accès au bouchon. Une fois le bouchon accessible, cette lame est repliée dans le manche, les leviers et la queue de cochon sont déployés et la queue de cochon est vissée dans le bouchon. Du fait de sa petite taille et des contraintes sur son axe de pivotement, le déploiement et le pliage de cette lame sont des opérations malaisées.  Another disadvantage noted by the applicant relates to the handling of the folding blade conventionally integrated with the handle and articulated along the same axis as the levers. This blade is deployed before the use of the pigtail, for cutting the material covering the neck to provide access to the cap. Once the cap is accessible, this blade is folded in the handle, the levers and the pigtail are deployed and the pigtail is screwed into the cap. Because of its small size and constraints on its pivot axis, the deployment and folding of this blade are difficult operations.
DESCRIPTION DE L'INVENTION DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
Partant de cet état de fait, la demanderesse a mené des recherches visant à obvier aux inconvénients précités. Ces recherches ont abouti à la conception et à la réalisation d'un tire-bouchon simplifiant les leviers qui le composent et facilitant la manipulation de la lame intégrée.  On the basis of this state of affairs, the plaintiff has conducted research aimed at overcoming the aforementioned drawbacks. This research led to the design and construction of a corkscrew that simplifies the levers that compose it and facilitates the handling of the integrated blade.
Le tire-bouchon de l'invention est du type de celui comprenant un manche sur lequel s'articulent une queue de cochon et deux leviers séparés articulés en chape sur un même axe solidaire du manche et préformés pour proposer les deux crans ou deux surfaces d'appui nécessaire à l'extraction en deux étapes d'un bouchon engagé dans le goulot d'une bouteille. The corkscrew of the invention is of the type comprising a handle on which a pigtail is articulated and two separate levers hinged to a clevis on the same axis integral with the handle and preformed to provide the two notches or two surfaces of support required for the two-stage extraction of a plug engaged in the bottleneck of a bottle.
Selon la caractéristique principale de l'invention, le premier levier comprend deux parties :  According to the main characteristic of the invention, the first lever comprises two parts:
une première partie proche de l'axe de rotation et liée à ce dernier présentant un profil en U dont l'extrémité distale forme la surface d'appui servant de premier cran sur le goulot de la bouteille pour la première étape,  a first portion close to the axis of rotation and linked to the latter having a U-shaped profile whose distal end forms the bearing surface serving as a first notch on the neck of the bottle for the first step,
une deuxième partie solidaire de la première s 'étendant à partir de la première au-delà de sa surface d'appui et formant une butée mécanique venant en contact avec les surfaces cylindriques du goulot de la bouteille, et  a second portion integral with the first extending from the first beyond its bearing surface and forming a mechanical stop contacting the cylindrical surfaces of the neck of the bottle, and
le deuxième levier comprend également deux parties : une première partie proche de l'axe de rotation et liée à ce dernier ,  the second lever also comprises two parts: a first part close to the axis of rotation and linked to the latter,
une deuxième partie liée à la première et présentant un profil en U dont l'extrémité distale forme une surface d'appui servant de deuxième cran ou surface d'appui contre le goulot de la bouteille pour la deuxième étape,  a second portion connected to the first and having a U-shaped profile whose distal end forms a bearing surface serving as second notch or bearing surface against the neck of the bottle for the second step,
ladite deuxième partie du premier levier étant préformée de façon à ce qu'elle se loge dans ladite deuxième partie du deuxième levier et forme une surface d'appui contre les les surfaces cylindriques du goulot de la bouteille lorsque le tire-bouchon passe du premier cran au deuxième cran de sorte que ledit premier cran ne soit pas saillant par rapport au deuxième et que ledit premier cran ne gêne pas ledit passage. said second portion of the first lever being preformed so that it fits into said second portion of the second lever and forms a bearing surface against the cylindrical surfaces of the neck of the bottle when the corkscrew moves from the first notch at the second notch so that said first notch is not projecting relative to the second and said first notch does not interfere with said passage.
Cette caractéristique est particulièrement avantageuse en ce qu'elle évite la présence d'un ressort pour le retour du premier cran en exploitant le contact avec la bouteille pour s'assurer que le premier cran s'escamotera à l'intérieur du second ou du moins présente une saillie moindre à celle formée par le second lorsque le tire-bouchon passe de la première phase d'appui à la seconde . Cette absence de ressort permet de diminuer le coût d'un tel tire-bouchon. This feature is particularly advantageous in that it avoids the presence of a spring for the return of the first notch by exploiting the contact with the bottle to ensure that the first notch will retract inside the second or at least has a smaller projection than the one formed by the second when the corkscrew passes from the first support phase to the second. This lack of spring reduces the cost of such a corkscrew.
D'autres caractéristiques prises ensembles ou non participent également à l'invention parmi celles-ci :  Other features taken together or not also participate in the invention among them:
- la première partie du deuxième levier s'inscrit dans le profil en u de la première partie du premier levier,the first part of the second lever is part of the u-shaped profile of the first part of the first lever,
- les branches du profil en U de ladite première partie du premier levier et celles du profil en U de la deuxième partie du deuxième levier sont coplanaires deux à deux, - ladite deuxième partie du premier levier se compose d'un profil plat dont la déformation permet de créer une projection saillant au-delà du plan du fond du U formé par les deux leviers et s ' intercalant entre les parties formant ce U, the branches of the U-profile of said first part of the first lever and those of the U-profile of the second part of the second lever are coplanar two by two, said second part of the first lever consists of a flat profile whose deformation makes it possible to create a projecting projection beyond the plane of the bottom of the U formed by the two levers and inserted between the parts forming this U,
- ladite deuxième partie du premier levier dépasse en longueur ledit deuxième levier, said second portion of the first lever protrudes in length from said second lever,
- ledit profil en U formant la première partie du premier levier est préformé d'une fenêtre présentant la forme nécessaire à une fonction de décapsuleur.  said U-shaped profile forming the first part of the first lever is preformed with a window having the shape necessary for a bottle opener function.
Le tire-bouchon de l'invention est d'autre part remarquable en ce qu'il comporte une lame pliante articulée sur le même axe que les deux leviers et dont le côté opposé au tranchant coopère avec une butée mécanique définie sur un des leviers de sorte que le dépliage de ce levier assure le pliage de la lame. Cette caractéristique est particulièrement avantageuse en ce qu'elle permet de réaliser le pliage de la lame par le déploiement des leviers, déploiement qui correspond à l'opération suivante dans le procédé d'extraction.  The corkscrew of the invention is also remarkable in that it comprises a folding blade articulated on the same axis as the two levers and whose side opposite the cutting edge cooperates with a mechanical stop defined on one of the levers of so that the unfolding of this lever ensures the folding of the blade. This feature is particularly advantageous in that it allows the folding of the blade by the deployment of the levers, which corresponds to the following operation in the extraction process.
L'invention concerne également le procédé d'utilisation d'un tel tire-bouchon qui est remarquable en ce qu'il consiste, lors du passage du premier appui au second, à mettre en contact par action de l'utilisateur sur la saillie ci-dessus décrite, la deuxième partie du premier levier contre le goulot de la bouteille pour faire reculer la première partie du premier levier par rapport à la deuxième partie du deuxième levier et garantir que le premier cran ne gène pas l'utilisation du deuxième cran. The invention also relates to the method of using such a corkscrew which is remarkable in that it consists, during the passage of the first support to the second, to bring into contact by action of the user on the projection c above described, the second part of the first lever against the neck of the bottle to roll back the first part of the first lever relative to the second part of the second lever and ensure that the first notch does not interfere with the use of the second notch.

Conformément aux principes d'un tire-bouchon à double levier, un premier levier 300 est préformé pour proposer une surface d'appui 310 correspondant à une première étape d'extraction illustrée par les figures 1 et 2. Pour extraire complètement le bouchon B, la première surface d'appui 310 est remplacée une fois la première étape d'extraction terminée, par une deuxième surface d'appui 410 préformée dans le deuxième levier 400.  In accordance with the principles of a double lever corkscrew, a first lever 300 is preformed to provide a bearing surface 310 corresponding to a first extraction step illustrated in FIGS. 1 and 2. To completely extract the plug B, the first bearing surface 310 is replaced once the first extraction step is completed, by a second bearing surface 410 preformed in the second lever 400.
Conformément à l'invention comme illustré sur les dessins des figures 4 à 8, le premier levier 300 se décompose en deux parties 320 et 330 :  According to the invention as illustrated in the drawings of FIGS. 4 to 8, the first lever 300 is divided into two parts 320 and 330:
- une première partie 320 proche de l'axe de rotation A qui, présentant un profil en U, est liée à une première extrémité audit axe A et forme sur sa deuxième extrémité ladite surface d'appui 310 servant de premier cran ou de première surface d'appui au tire-bouchon T contre le haut du goulot G de la bouteille, à savoir contre la couronne circulaire plane définie sur le haut de ce goulot G,  a first part 320 close to the axis of rotation A which, having a U-shaped profile, is connected to a first end of said axis A and forms on its second end said bearing surface 310 serving as first notch or first surface; supporting the corkscrew T against the top of the neck G of the bottle, namely against the planar circular ring defined on the top of this neck G,
une deuxième partie 330 solidaire de la première s 'étendant à partir de la première au-delà de sa surface d'appui et formant une butée mécanique 331 perpendiculaire à ladite surface d'appui 310. Cette butée mécanique va venir coopérer avec les surfaces cylindriques du goulot G avec les avantages qui seront développés plus bas.  a second portion 330 integral with the first extending from the first beyond its bearing surface and forming a mechanical stop 331 perpendicular to said bearing surface 310. This mechanical stop will cooperate with the cylindrical surfaces of the G neck with the advantages that will be developed below.
Selon un mode de réalisation préféré la surface d'appui 310 définie à l'extrémité de la première partie 320 du premier levier 300 est arrondie afin d'offrir une surface d'appui optimale quelle que soit la position angulaire du levier.  According to a preferred embodiment the bearing surface 310 defined at the end of the first portion 320 of the first lever 300 is rounded to provide an optimum bearing surface regardless of the angular position of the lever.
Le deuxième levier 400 qui est plus grand que le premier comporte lui aussi deux parties :  The second lever 400, which is larger than the first, also has two parts:
- une première partie 420 proche de l'axe de rotation A, liée à ce dernier et se composant de deux bras parallèles qui venant s'inscrire dans le U formé par la première partie 320 du premier levier 300, sont préformés à une première extrémité d'un orifice coopérant avec l'axe de rotation A et à une deuxième extrémité se rejoignent sur la deuxième partie, a first part 420 close to the axis of rotation A, linked to the latter and consisting of two parallel arms which fit into the U formed by the first portion 320 of the first lever 300, are preformed at a first end of an orifice cooperating with the axis of rotation A and at a second end meet on the second part,
- une deuxième partie 430 qui liée à la première, présente un profil en U dont l'extrémité distale forme la surface d'appui 410 servant de deuxième cran ou surface d'appui contre le haut du goulot G de la bouteille.  - A second portion 430 which is connected to the first, has a U-shaped profile whose distal end forms the bearing surface 410 serving as a second notch or bearing surface against the top of the neck G of the bottle.
Comme illustrée sur le dessins des figures 2 et 3, ladite deuxième partie 330 du premier levier 300 est préformée de façon à ce qu'elle se loge dans ladite deuxième partie 430 du deuxième levier 330 et forme une surface d'appui 331 contre les surfaces cylindriques du goulot de la bouteille lorsque le tire-bouchon T et lesdits leviers passent d'un premier cran au deuxième cran de sorte que ledit premier cran ne soit pas saillant par rapport au deuxième et ne gêne pas ledit passage illustré par lesdites figures.  As illustrated in the drawings of Figures 2 and 3, said second portion 330 of the first lever 300 is preformed so that it is housed in said second portion 430 of the second lever 330 and forms a bearing surface 331 against the surfaces cylindrical bottleneck of the bottle when the corkscrew T and said levers pass a first notch to the second notch so that said first notch is not protruding from the second and does not interfere with said passage illustrated by said figures.
Comme illustrée, ladite deuxième partie 330 du premier levier 300 dépasse en longueur ledit deuxième levier 400 garantissant son contact avec le goulot avant celui du deuxième levier 400. De plus, l'extrémité basse de cette deuxième partie est équipée d'une languette formant spatule facilitant le glissement de cette partie du premier levier sur le corps cylindrique du goulot.  As illustrated, said second portion 330 of the first lever 300 protrudes in length from said second lever 400 ensuring its contact with the neck before that of the second lever 400. In addition, the lower end of this second portion is equipped with a tongue forming a spatula facilitating the sliding of this portion of the first lever on the cylindrical body of the neck.
Selon les branches du profil en U de ladite première partie 320 du premier levier 300 et celles du profil en U de la deuxième partie 430 du deuxième levier 400 sont coplanaires deux à deux, (fonctions/avantages ?)  According to the branches of the U-profile of said first portion 320 of the first lever 300 and those of the U-profile of the second portion 430 of the second lever 400 are coplanar two by two, (functions / advantages?)
Afin de permettre l'action de l'utilisateur sur la rotation du premier levier par rapport au second afin de faire saillir ladite première surface d'appui 310, ladite deuxième partie 330 du premier levier 300 se compose d'un profil plat, dont la déformation permet de créer une projection 332 saillant au-delà du plan du fond du U formé par les deux leviers 300 et 400 et s ' intercalant entre les deux parties 320 et 420 reprenant la forme du U. Cette projection 332 est réalisée au moyen d'un pliage arrondi du profilé plan formant ladite deuxième partie 330 du premier levier 300. In order to allow the action of the user on the rotation of the first lever relative to the second in order to project said first bearing surface 310, said second portion 330 of the first lever 300 consists of a flat profile, the deformation makes it possible to create a projection 332 projecting beyond the plane of the bottom of the U formed by the two levers 300 and 400 and interposing between the two parts 320 and 420 taking the shape of the U. This projection 332 is made by means of a rounded folding of the plane profile forming said second portion 330 of the first lever 300.
En position repos illustrée par le dessin de la figure 4, la première partie 420 du deuxième levier 400 est inscrite dans la première partie 320 du premier levier 300 et la deuxième partie 330 du premier levier 300 vient se disposer dans la deuxième partie 430 du deuxième levier 400. L'action de l'utilisateur sur la saillie 332 permet de faire saillir la première surface d'appui 310 par rapport au deuxième levier 400. Le contact entre la butée 331 et la surface cylindrique du goulot lors de la montée de la deuxième surface d'appui 410 assure l'escamotage de la première surface d'appui par rapport à la deuxième.  In the rest position illustrated by the drawing of FIG. 4, the first portion 420 of the second lever 400 is inscribed in the first portion 320 of the first lever 300 and the second portion 330 of the first lever 300 is disposed in the second portion 430 of the second lever 400. The action of the user on the projection 332 makes it possible to project the first bearing surface 310 with respect to the second lever 400. The contact between the stop 331 and the cylindrical surface of the neck during the raising of the second bearing surface 410 ensures the retraction of the first bearing surface relative to the second.
Selon le mode de réalisation préféré illustré, ledit profil en U formant la première partie du premier levier est préformé d'une fenêtre 340 présentant la forme nécessaire à une fonction de décapsuleur.  According to the preferred embodiment illustrated, said U-shaped profile forming the first part of the first lever is preformed with a window 340 having the shape necessary for a bottle opener function.
Comme illustré sur le dessin de la figure 1, le tire- bouchon T comporte en outre une lame pliante 500 articulée sur le même axe A que les deux leviers 300 et 400 et dont le côté opposé au tranchant coopère avec une butée mécanique 350 définie sur un des leviers et selon le mode de réalisation non limitatif illustré sur la première partie du premier levier de sorte que le dépliage du levier assure le pliage de la lame.  As illustrated in the drawing of FIG. 1, the corkscrew T further comprises a folding blade 500 articulated on the same axis A as the two levers 300 and 400 and whose side opposite to the cutting edge cooperates with a mechanical stop 350 defined on one of the levers and according to the non-limiting embodiment illustrated on the first part of the first lever so that the unfolding of the lever ensures the folding of the blade.
On comprend que le tire-bouchon et son procédé d'utilisation qui viennent d'être ci-dessus décrits et représentés, l'ont été en vue d'une divulgation plutôt que d'une limitation. Bien entendu, divers aménagements, modifications et améliorations pourront être apportés à l'exemple ci-dessus, sans pour autant sortir du cadre de 1 ' invention .  It is understood that the corkscrew and its method of use which have just been described above and shown, have been for the purpose of disclosure rather than limitation.
