Description

La présente invention se rapporte à un tire-bouchon à levier. Plus particulièrement, l'invention se rapporte à un tire-bouchon à double levier selon le préambule de la revendicaiton 1, comprenant deux points d'appui. Un tel tire-bouchon est décrit dans la demande de brevet ES 2 332 081 . Le tire-bouchon de type limonadier permet d'extraire totalement un bouchon en un seul mouvement.The present invention relates to a lever corkscrew. More particularly, the invention relates to a double lever corkscrew according to the preamble of claim 1, comprising two fulcrums. Such a corkscrew is described in the patent application ES 2,332,081 . The lemonade-type corkscrew allows you to completely extract a stopper in one movement.

Dans différents domaines et notamment dans le domaine alimentaire, des bouteilles contenant un liquide sont fermées par des bouchons. Le bouchon permet d'éviter que le liquide contenu dans les bouteilles ne s'écoule ou s'évapore. Pour accéder au liquide, il faut extraire le bouchon.In various fields and in particular in the food field, bottles containing a liquid are closed by plugs. The stopper prevents the liquid in the bottles from flowing or evaporating. To access the liquid, remove the cap.

Les bouchons de bouteilles sont généralement réalisés en un matériau élastique comme par exemple du liège ou en un matériau synthétique de type polyéthylène, styrène etc.The bottle caps are generally made of an elastic material such as for example cork or a synthetic material of polyethylene, styrene, etc. type.

Les tire-bouchons comprennent généralement au moins une poignée et une vrille de type vis sans fin. Classiquement, chaque vrille comprend une pointe en bout de course prévue pour positionner ladite vrille sur la surface d'un bouchon à extraire. Une pression manuelle sur la poignée a pour conséquence que la pointe perce la surface supérieure du bouchon. Les spirales de la vrille permettent ensuite à la pointe de venir s'enfoncer dans le bouchon par un mouvement de rotation exercé sur la poignée.The corkscrews generally comprise at least one handle and a worm type auger. Conventionally, each spin comprises a tip end intended to position said swirler on the surface of a plug to extract. Manual pressure on the handle causes the tip to pierce the top surface of the cap. The spirals of the auger then allow the tip to come into the plug by a rotational movement exerted on the handle.

Il est connu de munir un tire-bouchon d'une pièce de butée, qui forme un levier avec la poignée. La pièce de butée est prévue pour venir prendre appui sur le col de bouteille. Un mouvement de basculement exercé sur la poignée permet d'extraire partiellement le bouchon de la bouteille. Pour extraire totalement un bouchon d'une bouteille il faut ensuite exercer manuellement une force de traction sur le bouchon, ce qui est parfois difficile.It is known to provide a corkscrew a stopper piece, which forms a lever with the handle. The abutment piece is designed to bear on the bottle neck. A tilting movement exerted on the handle allows to partially extract the cap of the bottle. To completely extract a cap from a bottle, it is then necessary to manually exert a pulling force on the cap, which is sometimes difficult.

De plus, une vrille de tire-bouchon de l'état de la technique pénètre dans le bouchon sans que l'on puisse contrôler l'avancement de la pointe.In addition, a corkscrew twist of the state of the art enters the cap without it being possible to control the advancement of the tip.

Ainsi, il arrive parfois que la pointe ne pénètre pas suffisamment dans le bouchon pour permettre une bonne extraction du bouchon. Il arrive aussi que la pièce de butée ne puisse pas venir prendre correctement appui sur le col de bouteille pour former le levier.Thus, it sometimes happens that the tip does not penetrate sufficiently into the cap to allow a good extraction of the cap. It also happens that the stop piece can not come and take a good rest on the neck of the bottle to form the lever.

Il peut encore arriver que la pointe traverse le bouchon à extraire. Une première conséquence gênante est la contamination du liquide dans la bouteille par des débris de bouchons. Une deuxième conséquence gênante est que la pièce de butée ne peut venir prendre correctement appui sur le col de bouteille pour former le levier.It can still happen that the tip passes through the cap to extract. A first inconvenient consequence is the contamination of the liquid in the bottle by plug debris. A second inconvenient consequence is that the stop piece can not come and take a good rest on the neck of the bottle to form the lever.

La présente invention vient améliorer la situation.The present invention improves the situation.

À cet effet, la présente invention vise un tire-bouchon comprenant un corps allongé, une vrille montée articulée sur ce corps par un axe transversal principal, un premier bras d'appui monté articulé sur le corps par un second axe parallèle à l'axe transversal principal, et situé à une première distance de cet axe transversal principal pour former un premier levier avec épaulement, et un second bras d'appui agencé pour former un second levier avec épaulement.For this purpose, the present invention is directed to a corkscrew comprising an elongate body, a pivot mounted articulated on this body by a main transverse axis, a first support arm mounted articulated on the body by a second axis parallel to the axis transverse main axis, and located at a first distance from this main transverse axis to form a first lever with a shoulder, and a second support arm arranged to form a second lever with shoulder.

Le second bras d'appui du tire-bouchon de l'invention est monté à coulissement sur le premier bras d'appui, et il est articulé sur la première extrémité d'une biellette, dont la deuxième extrémité est montée articulée sur le corps par un troisième axe, également parallèle à l'axe transversal principal, mais situé à une seconde distance de cet axe transversal principal, cette seconde distance étant supérieure à ladite première distance. La biellette est dimensionnée et positionnée, par rapport aux deux bras d'appui et au corps, de sorte qu'après vissage de la vrille dans un bouchon, et mise en prise du premier levier sur le rebord du goulot de la bouteille, ce premier levier commence l'extraction du bouchon par un basculement du corps allongé, basculement au cours duquel le second levier vient à son tour en prise sur le rebord du goulot pour relayer le premier levier, et achever l'extraction du bouchon.The second support arm of the corkscrew of the invention is slidably mounted on the first support arm, and is articulated on the first end of a link, the second end of which is hinged to the body by a third axis, also parallel to the main transverse axis, but situated at a second distance from this main transverse axis, this second distance being greater than said first distance. The rod is dimensioned and positioned relative to the two support arms and the body, so that after screwing the auger in a plug, and engaging the first lever on the edge of the neck of the bottle, this first Lever starts the extraction of the cap by a tilting of the elongated body, tilting during which the second lever in turn engages on the rim of the neck to relay the first lever, and complete the extraction of the cap.

Selon un mode de réalisation, le premier bras d'appui comprend une échancrure. La biellette est agencée de sorte qu'elle traverse ladite échancrure.According to one embodiment, the first support arm comprises a notch. The link is arranged so that it passes through said notch.

Selon un mode de réalisation particulier, les axes longitudinaux principaux desdits bras d'appui sont maintenus sensiblement parallèles lors d'un coulissement du second bras d'appui sur le premier bras d'appui.According to a particular embodiment, the main longitudinal axes of said support arms are kept substantially parallel during sliding of the second support arm on the first support arm.

Un moyen de fixation peut être agencé au voisinage d'une partie dorsale du premier bras d'appui et monté traversant dans l'échancrure, ledit moyen de fixation étant fixé au second bras d'appui pour guider celui-ci lors d'un mouvement à coulissement le long de l'échancrure.Fastening means may be arranged in the vicinity of a dorsal portion of the first support arm and mounted therethrough in the notch, said fastening means being fixed to the second support arm to guide it during a movement. slidingly along the notch.

Un ressort peut être prévu s'étendre dans un plan longitudinal du corps allongé, le ressort étant disposé en contact avec la vrille et le premier bras d'appui.A spring may be provided to extend in a longitudinal plane of the elongated body, the spring being disposed in contact with the auger and the first support arm.

Une languette peut s'étendre en extrémité du premier bras d'appui pour former un support de guidage pour le deuxième bras d'appui lors de sa mise en prise sur le goulot jusqu'à l'achèvement de l'extraction du bouchon.A tab may extend at the end of the first support arm to form a guide support for the second support arm as it engages the neck until completion of plug removal.

La vrille peut comprendre des spires agencées en hélice autour de son axe principal longitudinal.The spin may comprise turns arranged helically around its longitudinal main axis.

La vrille peut comprendre une spire à butée agencée dans un plan sensiblement perpendiculaire à l'axe principal de la vrille.The auger may comprise a thrust turn arranged in a plane substantially perpendicular to the main axis of the auger.

They are an integral part of the description, and can therefore be used to better understand the present invention, defined by the claims below.

Il est fait référence aux figures 1 et 2, lesquelles montrent une coupe de profil d'un tire-bouchon de l'invention engagé dans un bouchon 9 d'une bouteille 300.Reference is made to Figures 1 and 2 , which show a profile section of a corkscrew of the invention engaged in a cap 9 of a bottle 300.

Le tire-bouchon 100 comprend un corps allongé 10. Le corps allongé est typiquement agencé pour servir de poignée pour un utilisateur.The corkscrew 100 comprises an elongated body 10. The elongated body is typically arranged to serve as a handle for a user.

Le tire-bouchon 100 comprend également une vrille 6. La vrille 6 est montée articulée sur ce corps 10 par un axe transversal principal 5.

The plug 9 is here a conventional plug of elastic material, for example cork.

Le tire-bouchon 100 comprend un premier bras d'appui 1 monté articulé sur le corps 10 par un second axe 4 parallèle à l'axe transversal principal. Ledit second axe 4 est situé à une première distance de l'axe transversal principal 5 pour former un premier levier avec un épaulement 7 (ou talon 7).The corkscrew 100 comprises a first support arm 1 mounted hinged to the body 10 by a second axis 4 parallel to the main transverse axis. Said second axis 4 is located at a first distance from the main transverse axis 5 to form a first lever with a shoulder 7 (or heel 7).

Le tire-bouchon 100 comprend en outre un second bras d'appui 2 agencé pour former un second levier avec épaulement 14 (ou talon 14).The corkscrew 100 further comprises a second support arm 2 arranged to form a second lever with shoulder 14 (or heel 14).

Le second bras 2 est relié au corps allongé 10 par l'intermédiaire d'une biellette 3. Une extrémité de la biellette 3 est reliée au corps allongé, tandis que l'autre extrémité de la biellette 3 est reliée au second bras d'appui 2. Plus précisément, la biellette 3 est montée articulée à l'une de ces extrémités sur le corps allongé 10 par un troisième axe 12. Le troisième axe 12 est également parallèle à l'axe transversal principal 5. L'autre extrémité de la biellette 3 est articulée avec le second bras d'appui 2 par un quatrième axe 13. Dans le mode de réalisation décrit, le quatrième axe 13 est également parallèle à l'axe transversal principal 5. Le troisième axe 12 est situé à une seconde distance de l'axe transversal principal 5. Ladite seconde distance est supérieure à ladite première distance mentionnée plus haut (on rappelle que la première distance est la distance entre le second axe 4 et l'axe transversal principal 5).The second arm 2 is connected to the elongate body 10 via a link 3. One end of the link 3 is connected to the elongated body, while the other end of the link 3 is connected to the second support arm 2. More specifically, the rod 3 is articulated at one of these ends on the elongate body 10 by a third axis 12. The third axis 12 is also parallel to the main transverse axis 5. The other end of the 3 is articulated with the second support arm 2 by a fourth axis 13. In the embodiment described, the fourth axis 13 is also parallel to the main transverse axis 5. The third axis 12 is located at a second distance from the main transverse axis 5. Said second distance is greater than said first distance mentioned above (it is recalled that the first distance is the distance between the second axis 4 and the transverse axis principal 5).

Le montage articulé des bras d'appui 1, 2 et de la vrille 6 permet notamment le rabattement de ces pièces dans le corps allongé 10. La figure 1 montre des bras d'appui 1, 2 en position rabattus dans le corps allongé 10, tandis que la figure 2 montre les bras d'appui 1, 2 en une position de travail.The articulated mounting of the support arms 1, 2 and the auger 6 allows in particular the folding of these parts in the elongated body 10. The figure 1 shows support arms 1, 2 in the folded position in the elongate body 10, while the figure 2 shows the support arms 1, 2 in a working position.

Plus généralement, il faut comprendre que chaque axe transversal lie deux éléments : par exemple la vrille 6 est liée au corps allongé 10 par l'axe transversal 5. Chaque axe transversal autorise un mouvement en rotation d'un élément par rapport à l'autre. En d'autres termes chaque axe transversal autorise un degré de liberté en rotation d'un élément dans un plan. Lesdits plans sont sensiblement parallèles ou confondus.More generally, it should be understood that each transverse axis connects two elements: for example the auger 6 is connected to the elongate body 10 by the transverse axis 5. Each transverse axis allows a rotational movement of one element relative to the other . In other words, each transverse axis allows a degree of freedom in rotation of an element in a plane. Said planes are substantially parallel or merged.

Le second bras d'appui 2 est monté à coulissement 15 sur le premier bras d'appui 1.The second support arm 2 is slidably mounted on the first support arm 1.

La figure 3 montre un agencement d'un montage à coulissement d'un second bras d'appui 2 sur un premier bras d'appui 1 selon l'invention. Le montage à coulissement est réalisé de sorte que les bras d'appui (1, 2) coulissent longitudinalement l'un par rapport à l'autre.The figure 3 shows an arrangement of a sliding arrangement of a second support arm 2 on a first support arm 1 according to the invention. The sliding assembly is constructed so that the support arms (1, 2) slide longitudinally relative to one another.

En d'autres termes, si l'on considère que chaque bras d'appui possède un axe longitudinal principal, lors d'un mouvement de coulissement d'un bras par rapport à l'autre, les axes longitudinaux principaux restent parallèles entre eux. Il faut donc comprendre qu'il n'existe pas de degré de liberté en rotation entre le premier 1 et le second 2 bras.In other words, if we consider that each support arm has a main longitudinal axis, during a sliding movement of one arm relative to the other, the main longitudinal axes remain parallel to each other. It must therefore be understood that there is no degree of freedom in rotation between the first 1 and the second 2 arms.

Le deuxième bras d'appui 2 du tire-bouchon de l'invention coulisse de manière stable et régulière à l'intérieur du premier bras d'appui 1. Dans un mode de réalisation, le premier bras d'appui 1 comprend une échancrure 17 (ou rainure 17). Ladite échancrure est notamment prévue pour laisser passer la biellette 3.The second support arm 2 of the corkscrew of the invention slides stably and evenly inside the first support arm 1. In one embodiment, the first support arm 1 comprises a notch 17 (or groove 17). Said indentation is especially designed to let the link 3.

Le deuxième bras d'appui 2 est monté de dos à ladite échancrure 17 et est maintenu en position par la biellette 3 d'une part et par un moyen de retenue 15 d'autre part. Le moyen de retenue 15 peut être une vis à tête large dont le diamètre de la tête dépasse l'évidement transversal de l'échancrure 17. Ainsi, la tête de la vis à tête large glisse en surface sur la partie dorsale du premier bras d'appui 1 ce qui assure une stabilité supplémentaire. De plus, le moyen de fixation 15 maintient le deuxième bras d'appui 2 accolé au premier bras d'appui 1.The second support arm 2 is mounted back to said notch 17 and is held in position by the rod 3 on the one hand and by a retaining means 15 on the other. The retaining means 15 may be a wide-headed screw whose diameter of the head exceeds the transverse recess of the recess 17. Thus, the head of the wide-headed screw slides on the surface on the dorsal portion of the first arm. 1 support which ensures additional stability. In addition, the fixing means 15 holds the second support arm 2 attached to the first support arm 1.

Selon l'invention, la biellette 3 est dimensionnée et positionnée, par rapport aux deux bras d'appui 1,2 et au corps allongé 10, de sorte qu'après vissage de la vrille 6 dans un bouchon, et mise en prise du premier levier sur le rebord du goulot d'une bouteille 300, ce premier levier commence l'extraction du bouchon 9 par un basculement du corps allongé 10, basculement au cours duquel le second levier vient à son tour en prise sur le rebord du goulot 300 pour relayer le premier levier, et achever l'extraction du bouchon 9.According to the invention, the link 3 is dimensioned and positioned relative to the two support arms 1, 2 and the elongated body 10, so that after screwing the auger 6 into a plug, and engaging the first lever on the rim of the neck of a bottle 300, this first lever begins the extraction of the cap 9 by a tilting of the elongated body 10, tilting during which the second lever in turn engages on the rim of the neck 300 for relay the first lever, and complete the extraction of the plug 9.

Il est fait maintenant référence aux figures 2, 4, 5 et 6, lesquelles montrent respectivement la progression d'extraction d'un bouchon 9 au moyen du tire-bouchon de l'invention.Reference is now made to figures 2 , 4 , 5 and 6 which respectively show the extraction progress of a plug 9 by means of the corkscrew of the invention.

À un temps t0 (voir figure 2) l'extrémité 11 du corps allongé 10 du tire1bouchon 100 est relevée. Les deux bras d'appui 1, 2 sont en une position rabattus en direction du goulot de la bouteille 300. L'épaulement 7 du premier bras d'appui 1 est positionné en mise en prise sur le rebord 8 du goulot.At a time t 0 (see figure 2 ) the end 11 of the elongated body 10 of the tug 1 100 is raised. The two support arms 1, 2 are in a folded position towards the neck of the bottle 300. The shoulder 7 of the first support arm 1 is positioned in engagement on the flange 8 of the neck.

Dans cette position initiale la biellette 3 qui est reliée par le troisième axe 12 au corps allongé 10 du tire-bouchon 100 et au deuxième bras d'appui 2 par le quatrième axe 13 maintient le deuxième bras d'appui 2 au voisinage d'une partie supérieure du premier bras d'appui 1. En d'autres termes la biellette 3 fait coulisser le deuxième bras d'appui 2 vers le haut du premier bras d'appui 1 lorsque le tire-bouchon est positionné en une position initiale pour l'extraction du bouchon 9.In this initial position the rod 3 which is connected by the third axis 12 to the elongated body 10 of the corkscrew 100 and the second support arm 2 by the fourth axis 13 maintains the second support arm 2 in the vicinity of a upper part of the first support arm 1. In other words the link 3 slides the second support arm 2 upwardly of the first support arm 1 when the corkscrew is positioned at an initial position for the extraction of the plug 9.

À un temps t1 (voir figure 4), il est exercé une force F sur le corps allongé 10. La force F est exercée en abaissant l'extrémité 11 du corps allongé 10 le bas (en une direction vers la bouteille 300). Par application de la force F, la vrille 6 exerce une force de traction sur le bouchon 9. En tirant sur le bouchon 9 la vrille 6 le décolle et commence à l'extraire. La biellette 3 fait coulisser le deuxième bras d'appui 2 en une direction vers le bas (en direction vers de la bouteille 300) jusqu'à ce que son épaulement 14 arrive à la hauteur de l'épaulement 7 du premier bras d'appui 1.At a time t 1 (see figure 4 ), a force F is exerted on the elongate body 10. The force F is exerted by lowering the end 11 of the elongate body 10 downwards (in one direction towards the bottle 300). By application of the force F, the auger 6 exerts a pulling force on the plug 9. By pulling on the plug 9 the auger 6 takes off and begins to extract it. The rod 3 slides the second support arm 2 in a downward direction (towards the bottle 300) until its shoulder 14 reaches the height of the shoulder 7 of the first support arm 1.

À un temps t2 (voir figure 5), l'application de la force F continue (un utilisateur peut par exemple exercer une force de pression vers le bas sur le corps allongé). Le deuxième bras d'appui 2 en combinaison avec la biellette 3 possède un rayon d'action plus grand et plus rapide que celui du premier bras d'appui 1. Il s'ensuit que le deuxième bras d'appui 2 prend le relais de l'épaulement 7 du premier bras d'appui 1. En conséquence c'est le deuxième bras d'appui 2 qui maintenant prend appui avec son épaulement 14 sur le bord 8 du goulot de bouteille 300. Le mouvement à traction de la vrille 6 est allonger et accélérer pour tirer davantage sur le bouchon 9.At a time t 2 (see figure 5 ), the application of the force F continues (a user may for example exert a downward force on the elongated body). The second support arm 2 in combination with the link 3 has a greater and faster radius of action than that of the first support arm 1. It follows that the second support arm 2 takes over from the shoulder 7 of the first support arm 1. As a result it is the second support arm 2 which now bears with its shoulder 14 on the edge 8 of the bottle neck 300. The traction movement of the auger 6 is lengthen and accelerate to pull more on the cap 9.

À un temps t3 (voir figure 6) il suffit de prendre l'ensemble corps allongé 10 tire-bouchon et goulot de la bouteille 300 dans le creux de la main, le creux du pouce (flèche 18) sur le manche et les autres doigts (flèches 19, 20 et 21) sur le goulot de la bouteille 300 et en serrant le tout, le deuxième bras d'appui 2 pousse encore plus sur le rebord 8 du goulot donnant à la vrille 6 une distance de traction telle qu'elle extrait totalement le bouchon 9 hors du goulot de la bouteille 300.At a time t 3 (see figure 6 ) just take the elongated body 10 corkscrew and neck of the bottle 300 in the hollow of the hand, the hollow of the thumb (arrow 18) on the handle and the other fingers (arrows 19, 20 and 21) on the neck of the bottle 300 and tightening everything, the second support arm 2 pushes even more on the rim 8 of the neck giving the auger 6 a pulling distance such that it completely extracts the plug 9 out of the neck from the bottle 300.

L'invention permet de par ses deux bras d'appui 1, 2 reliés par la voie d'axes transversaux respectifs au corps allongé 10 de former deux leviers. Le premier levier a une distance d'action plus courte mais plus puissante du fait qu'il est fixé sur ledit corps allongé par le second axe 4 qui est situé à une première distance de l'axe transversal principal 5. Le second axe 4 est rapproché de l'axe transversal principal 5 qui fixe la vrille 6 sur le corps allongé 10. Le second axe 4 est rapproché de l'axe transversal principal 5 pour donner à la vrille 6 une force de traction suffisante pour décoller facilement le bouchon 300 et commencer à l'extraire.The invention makes it possible, by means of its two support arms 1, 2 connected by the respective transverse axes way to the elongated body 10 to form two levers. The first lever has a shorter but more powerful action distance because it is fixed on said elongated body by the second axis 4 which is located at a first distance from the main transverse axis 5. The second axis 4 is close to the main transverse axis 5 which fixes the swirler 6 on the elongated body 10. The second axis 4 is brought closer to the main transverse axis 5 to give the swirler 6 a sufficient traction force to take off the plug 300 easily and start extracting it.

Le deuxième levier a une distance d'action plus longue et plus rapide du fait qu'il est mu par la biellette 3 qui elle est montée sur le corps allongé 10 par un troisième axe 12. Le troisième axe 12 est éloigné de l'axe transversal principal 5 qui fixe la vrille 6 sur le corps allongé 10. Le troisième axe 12 est éloigné de l'axe transversal principal 5 pour prendre le relais du premier levier lorsque celui-ci est en bout de course. Le deuxième levier prolonge la possibilité d'exercer une pression sur le rebord du goulot 8 de la bouteille 300 et ainsi donner à la vrille 6 une plus grande distance de traction pour extraire totalement le bouchon 9 de la bouteille 300.The second lever has a longer and faster action distance because it is moved by the rod 3 which is mounted on the elongate body 10 by a third axis 12. The third axis 12 is remote from the axis transversal main 5 which fixes the auger 6 on the elongated body 10. The third axis 12 is remote from the main transverse axis 5 to take over the first lever when it is at the end of travel. The second lever extends the possibility of exerting pressure on the rim of the neck 8 of the bottle 300 and thus give the auger 6 a greater pulling distance to fully extract the plug 9 of the bottle 300.

En deuxième caractéristique ces deux actions se font automatiquement par la seule pression sur l'extrémité 11 du manche 10 du tir bouchon, fig. 1,2, 4 et 5, grâce à l'action de la biellette 3 qui prend appui par son axe 12 sur le corps du tire-bouchon 10 et agit sur le levier 2 par son axe 13 pour le faire glisser automatiquement à l'intérieur du levier 1 au fur et à mesure de ses différentes positions.In second characteristic these two actions are done automatically by the only pressure on the end 11 of the handle 10 of the plug firing, Fig. 1.2 , 4 and 5 , thanks to the action of the link 3 which is supported by its axis 12 on the body of the corkscrew 10 and acts on the lever 2 by its axis 13 to slide automatically inside the lever 1 as and when as its different positions.

Selon un mode de réalisation, le tire-bouchon de l'invention comprend un ressort 16 permettant de renforcer le maintien de la vrille 6 dans une position verticale (position de travail). Le ressort 16 permet également de renforcer le maintien de la vrille 6 en une position rabattue, à savoir à l'intérieur du corps allongé 10. Le ressort 16 permet aussi de renforcer le maintien du premier bras d'appui 1 dans en position repliée (ou rabattue) à l'intérieur du corps allongé 10.According to one embodiment, the corkscrew of the invention comprises a spring 16 for reinforcing the maintenance of the auger 6 in a vertical position (working position). The spring 16 also makes it possible to reinforce the holding of the swirler 6 in a folded position, namely inside the elongate body 10. The spring 16 also makes it possible to reinforce the holding of the first support arm 1 in the folded position ( or folded) inside the elongate body 10.

Avantageusement, le premier bras d'appui 1 comprend une languette 1bis. La languette 1bis est allongée pour permettre au deuxième bras d'appui 2 de coulisser à une distance voulue. Plus précisément ladite languette 1bis s'étend sur une partie d'extrémité du premier bras d'appui 1. En position de mise en prise du premier bras d'appui 1 sur le goulot de bouteille 300, la languette 1bis est orientée vers le pied de ladite bouteille 300.Advantageously, the first support arm 1 comprises a tongue 1a. The tongue 1a is elongated to allow the second support arm 2 to slide at a desired distance. More precisely, said tongue 1a extends over an end portion of the first support arm 1. In the position of engagement of the first support arm 1 on the bottle neck 300, the tongue 1a is oriented towards the foot of said bottle 300.

Le premier bras d'appui 1 et le deuxième bras d'appui 2 ont le même angle d'action lors de leur mise en prise sur le goulot, et, par conséquent, lors de l'extraction du bouchon. Les forces qui surviennent lors de l'actionnement desdits bras, et particulièrement lors de l'actionnement du deuxième bras d'appui 2, sont importantes. En effet, lors de la mise en prise du deuxième bras d'appui 2, à savoir lorsque l'épaulement 14 est engagé sur le rebord 8 du goulot, la force exercée par le deuxième levier sur le goulot peut être très grande (par l'effet du deuxième levier). Ainsi, pour maintenir le bon positionnement lors de l'actionnement du deuxième bras d'appui 2 pour l'extraction du bouchon 9, et notamment pour éviter tout désengagement de l'épaulement 14 du goulot, il est avantageux de fournir un guidage positif et sécurisé du deuxième bras d'appui 2. Ceci est réalisé par la languette 1bis, laquelle permet notamment à la partie dorsale du deuxième bras d'appui 2 de s'appuyer contre l'intérieur de celle-ci, jusqu'en bout de course (voir figures 4-6).The first support arm 1 and the second support arm 2 have the same angle of action when they are engaged on the neck, and, therefore, during the extraction of the plug. The forces that occur during the actuation of said arms, and particularly when actuating the second support arm 2, are important. Indeed, during the engagement of the second support arm 2, namely when the shoulder 14 is engaged on the flange 8 of the neck, the force exerted by the second lever on the neck can be very large (for example). effect of the second lever). Thus, to maintain the correct positioning during the actuation of the second support arm 2 for extracting the plug 9, and in particular to prevent any disengagement of the shoulder 14 of the neck, it is advantageous to provide a positive guide and securing the second support arm 2. This is achieved by the tongue 1a, which allows in particular the dorsal portion of the second support arm 2 to bear against the inside thereof, to the end of the race (see Figures 4-6 ).

La languette 1bis permet aussi une bonne tenue en main.The tongue 1a also allows a good hold in hand.

Il est fait référence aux figures 7 et 9 qui montrent une vrille selon un mode de réalisation préférentiel de l'invention. La vrille 6 est de type vis sans fin, qui s'étend dans un sens 64. La vrille 6 comprend des spires 61 agencés en hélice autour d'un axe principal longitudinal. La vrille 6 comprend avantageusement une pointe 66 en extrémité pour favoriser la pénétration dans un bouchon 9.Reference is made to Figures 7 and 9 which show a twist according to a preferred embodiment of the invention. The auger 6 is of worm type, which extends in one direction 64. The auger 6 comprises turns 61 arranged helically around a longitudinal main axis. The auger 6 advantageously comprises a tip 66 at the end to promote penetration into a plug 9.

La vrille 6 comprend une base 63 avec un évidement pour permettre le montage articulé sur le corps 10 par l'axe transversal principal 5.The swirler 6 comprises a base 63 with a recess to allow articulated mounting on the body 10 by the main transverse axis 5.

La vrille 6 comprend en outre une spire à butée 62. Il s'agit ici de la première spire au voisinage de la base 63. La spire à butée 62 est aplatie dans un plan sensiblement perpendiculaire à l'axe principal de la vrille 6.The swirler 6 further comprises an end-turn 62. This is the first turn in the vicinity of the base 63. The end-turn 62 is flattened in a plane substantially perpendicular to the main axis of the swirler 6.

La figure 8 représente une coupe spire à butée 62 et montre qu'elle forme une bague ouverte.The figure 8 is a spiral cutaway 62 and shows that it forms an open ring.

Lors de la pénétration de la vrille 6 spire à butée 62 contrôle l'avancement de la pointe et ainsi contrôle la correspondance avec l'épaulement 7 du premier bras d'appui 1. En effet, la spire à butée 62 vient en butée contre la surface supérieure 65 du bouchon 9 et définit ainsi la limite de pénétration de la vrille 6 dans ce bouchon. En conséquence, la mise en prise par l'épaulement 7 du premier bras d'appui 1 peut-être définie de manière physique.During the penetration of the spiral 6 twisted turn 62 controls the advance of the tip and thus controls the correspondence with the shoulder 7 of the first support arm 1. Indeed, the turn to stop 62 abuts against the upper surface 65 of the plug 9 and thus defines the limit of penetration of the auger 6 in this plug. As a result, the engagement by the shoulder 7 of the first support arm 1 can be defined physically.

IL s'agit donc d'un dispositif à double leviers avec deux points d'appui pour tire bouchon à levier et limonadier comportant un levier 1 qui a un axe point d'appui 4 rapproché de l'axe 5 de la vrille 6 et un levier 2 qui a un point d'appui plus éloigné de cet axe 5 par le biais de la biellette 3 et qui coulisse dans le levier 1 pour prendre automatiquement le relais du levier 1 lorsque celui-ci est en bout de course et prolonger la pression sur le rebord du goulot 8 de la bouteille et donner à la vrille 6 une plus grande distance de traction pour extraire ainsi totalement le bouchon 9.It is therefore a double-lever device with two points of support for corkscrew lever and lemonade having a lever 1 which has a fulcrum axis 4 close to the axis 5 of the twist 6 and a lever 2 which has a fulcrum farther from this axis 5 by means of the link 3 and which slides in the lever 1 to automatically take over the lever 1 when it is at the end of the stroke and prolong the pressure on the rim of the neck 8 of the bottle and give the auger 6 a greater pulling distance to fully extract the plug 9.

Le levier 2 est mu par une biellette 3 qui prend appui par son axe 12 sur le corps 10 du tire-bouchon et agit sur le levier 2 par son axe 13 pour le faire glisser automatiquement à l'intérieur du levier 1 en fonction de ses différentes positions.The lever 2 is moved by a rod 3 which is supported by its axis 12 on the body 10 of the corkscrew and acts on the lever 2 by its axis 13 to slide it automatically inside the lever 1 according to its different positions.

L'axe 12 de la biellette 3 est plus éloignée de l'axe 5 de la vrille 6 que l'axe 4 du levier 1 afin de donner au levier 2 une plus grande distance d'action que le levier 1 et prendre le relais de celui-ci pour prolonger automatiquement l'action de pression sur le rebord 8 du goulot de la bouteille et donner à la vrille 6 une plus grande distance de traction et extraire ainsi totalement le bouchon. Le ressort 16 fig. 2, sert à maintenir la vrille 6 dans sa position verticale ou rabattue à l'intérieur du manche et à maintenir le levier 1 dans sa position repliée à l'intérieur du manche Fig.1 The axis 12 of the rod 3 is further away from the axis 5 of the swirler 6 than the axis 4 of the lever 1 in order to give the lever 2 a greater distance of action than the lever 1 and take over from it to automatically extend the pressure action on the flange 8 of the neck of the bottle and give the auger 6 a greater pulling distance and fully extract the plug. The spring 16 Fig. 2 , serves to maintain the auger 6 in its vertical position or folded inside the handle and to maintain the lever 1 in its folded position inside the handle Fig.1

La languette 1bis du levier 1 est allongée pour permettre au levier 2 de coulisser à la distance voulue et aussi pour permettre une bonne tenue en main.The tongue 1a of the lever 1 is elongated to allow the lever 2 to slide at the desired distance and also to allow good holding in hand.
