Description

Decapsulator

Object of the invention

The present invention relates to a decapsulator, that is to say a specially designed device for the opening of bottles provided as a closing element of a capsule or crown cap.

The object of the invention is to achieve a Decapsulator that, fulfilling its basic and conventional functions as such a decapsulator, it also offers a number of advantages additional enhancing its benefits.

Background of the invention

As is known, crown capsules or caps They constitute a regular closure on certain bottled beverages, such as beers, soft drinks, etc.

For the opening of this type of packaging, they use decapsulators of different types, being one of the most usual one in which the decapsulator materializes in a flat body, consisting of a considerable metal sheet thick and stiff enough to make it undeformable, body in which an annular head of which is an extension is defined handle or handle, counting said head inside hollow with a pair of opposite tabs, of which one of them is intended to support on the upper base of the capsule and another envelope the mouth of it, so that a movement of tilt supplied to the decapsulator through its handle, causes deformation and independence of the capsule or cap crown.

Frequently these decapsulators constitute gift items, supplied for example by the manufacturers of certain drinks, of which the decapsulator must be a carrier of information or advertising, proving expensive to get a good graphic printing on a metallic body, which must also be stainless steel to prevent oxidation in it.

By its own metallic nature, it tends to slide easily on any inclined surface, not It is the best solution for a good hand grip, and can scratch certain furniture that does not have adequate surface consistency

Description of the invention

The decapsulator that the invention proposes solves the problem fully satisfactorily previously exposed, in each and every one of the different commented aspects.

To do this and more specifically, from the basic structuring of such a conventional decapsulator, that is, from a flat, metallic body, with a head annular and a handle, the invention focuses on the fact that the cited flat body presents both major faces, both as far as refers to its head as its handle, equipped with a thickness plastic coating, attachable to the metal body by any conventional means, such as by means of a suitable adhesive.

This almost integral lining of the base body It involves a series of advantages that focus primarily on the following aspects:

Decapsulator customization results much simpler and with many more possibilities, since this one can be carried out first on the plastic coating, to subsequently fix the latter to the flat body or core metal.

The contact surface of the decapsulator It is mostly of a plastic nature, practically in all of it, which makes the decapsulator much more stable on an inclined surface, do not assume the least risk from scratches or scratches to furniture surfaces, and it grip much better with the user's hand.

The plastic coating acts as a means of protection for the metal body, so that when covered almost completely prevents it from being attacked by agents environmental, such as humidity, causing its oxidation.

Description of the drawings

To complement the description that is being performing and in order to help a better understanding of the characteristics of the invention, according to a preferred example of practical realization of it, is accompanied as an integral part of said description, a set of drawings where with character Illustrative and not limiting, the following has been represented:

Figure 1.- Shows, according to an elevation view frontal, a decapsulator made according to the object of the present invention

Figure 2.- Shows a profile of it decapsulator

Figure 3.- Shows, finally, a profile in section thereof, according to the cutting line A-B in Figure 1.

Preferred Embodiment of the Invention

In view of the figures outlined you can be observed as the decapsulator that the invention proposes is constituted from a flat body (1), of a metallic nature, such as a thick stainless steel sheet, in which defines an annular head (2), affected by a wide hole (3) in which set two opposing tabs (4-4 ') intended to interlock one of them, interchangeably, on the mouth or edge of the capsule or cap crown, for the detachment of the same by leverage, when acting on the handle (5) which, extension of said head (2), complete the flat body (1).

Said handle (5) may be provided near its free end of the classic hole (6) that facilitates hanging of the decapsulator of a hook or any other element of proper lift.

Well, according to the invention, the said base body (1) incorporates, in correspondence with each of its two faces, a lining (7-7 ') of nature plastic and of remarkable thickness, intended to be a carrier of any type of informative or advertising message (8).

This coating (8) may affect integrally to the major faces of the flat body (1) or free a narrow marginal strip, both external (9) and internal (10), which acts as a framework to improve the aesthetic appearance of set.

The coatings (7-7 '), in addition to constitute an advertising medium that facilitates the printing of the information, improve the manual grip conditions of the Decapsulator, prevent it from scratching furniture or other objects, and minimizes your risk of slipping as soon as it is deposited on an inclined surface, as well as acting as a protector for the metal body (1), minimizing in turn the risk of oxidation of the latter.

Claims (3)

1. Decapsulator, of the type intended for opening bottles fitted with capsules or crown caps as closing elements, and those incorporating a flat body, based on a thick, non-deformable metal sheet, in which a annular head and a handle or handle, said head counting with opposed tabs of actuation on the mouthpiece of the capsule or crown cap, characterized in that said metal and flat body has its two faces affected by two plastic coatings duly fixed to the base body by any appropriate conventional means, such as an adhesive. 2. Decapsulator according to claim 1, characterized in that said plastic coatings are carriers of graphics that personalize the decapsulator. 3. Decapsulator, according to previous claims, characterized in that the coatings of a plastic nature affect the main faces of the metallic and flat body integrally or mostly.
