Description

Corkscrew.

Object of the invention

The present invention relates to a corkscrew, primarily intended for the extraction of bottle caps of cava, cider, sparkling wines and the like, constituting the corkscrew a simple device, easy to fix and functionally effective.

The object of the invention is to achieve an easy uncorking a bottle of cava or similar, that is container of a drink with internal pressure and the bottle covered by a cork, the latter being extracted with total simplicity, without great efforts and allowing to regulate the extraction with greater or less noise at will of the user.

Background of the invention

For uncorking a container bottle of drinks with internal pressure, such as the classic bottles of Cava, sparkling wines, etc., is done by manual traction of the corresponding plug mushroom, which emerges outside the neck of the bottle that is covering, so that in many Sometimes the difficulties in removing the plug result impossible to save for many people, needing a great strength, regardless of the fact that sometimes and if you don't have enough care, the plug is fired by the force of the gas contained in the bottle, which can cause an accident, breakage of any decorative object, etc.

However, corkscrews consisting of a kind of clamp are known, that is to say formed by two wings or arms, with parts that are nailed to the mushroom of the cap, facilitating the drive for the extraction of the cap, although an important effort is required, and sometimes the plug, or what is the same the respective mushroom, deteriorates due to the pressing made by the internal parts of the clip, causing a shredding of the plug mushroom that makes it difficult to remove

Description of the invention

The corkscrew that has been recommended has been designed to solve the problem described above, in based on a simple solution but of great efficiency, since the same It is based on an inverted "U" body, whose branches laterals present on its inner face and approximately one third of the free end thereof, protrusions by way of wedges, made in opposite ways, so that when placing the corkscrew on the bottle neck and logically on the top of the cap or mushroom of the cap itself, those wedges they are positioned in the groove that is established between the upper edge rounded the neck of the bottle and the bottom of the mushroom of the cap, so that the manual rotation of said corkscrew carries I get the progressive introduction of the projections as a wedge in the slot mentioned above, causing a shift axial and outward of the cap itself, to get from this way an easy opening of the bottle, or what is the same a Easy removal of the cap.

The "U" corkscrew configuration inverted, allows the user to graduate to their liking the ability to stampede of the plug when removed, just by squeezing more or less with the arms on the bottle neck, making a cap removal with more or less noise and even allowing Remove the cap until it is completely canceled.

Obviously, both corkscrew arms are joined by one of its ends in a part or base that will be preferably flat and constitutes a seating surface for place the corkscrew stable and in a standing position, so that from that base of union of the two arms, these can flex in parallel to adapt the corkscrew to the bottle neck and of course to the cap hat or mushroom, as well as tighten manually to perform the extraction of said plug.

The wedge-like projections present their part lower horizontal, while the upper surface goes gradually increasing in thickness from one of its edges or ends to the opposite end, configuration that is opposed in both wedges as stated above, to thus allow its correct positioning in the slot that is established between the neck of the bottle and the cap mushroom itself, so that in the turn those outgoing wedges are introduced into the commented slot and opening occurs as already explained.

The protrusions, by their inner face, are concave, like the part of the corkscrew arms that it is projected from those projections to the free edge of the themselves, while externally said arms are curved-convex for adaptation anatomical of the user's hand in the grip of the user corkscrew. The free ends of the arms can be straight, that is to say flat, to also allow to place the cap of foot of stable way, although obviously the corkscrew can remain located or stored anywhere or laterally supported, that is longitudinally.

Description of the drawings

To complement the description that then it will be done and in order to help a better understanding of the features of the invention, according to a preferred example of practical realization thereof, is accompanied as an integral part of that description, a set of drawings in where illustrative and not limiting, it has been represented the next:

Figure 1.- Shows a representation according to an overview of the corkscrew made according to the object of the invention, where the configuration of the projections as wedges that incorporates the internal face of the corkscrew arms.

Preferred Embodiment of the Invention

As you can see in the referred figures, the corkscrew of the invention is constituted by a body by way of inverted "U", in which two lateral branches are established (1) joined by one of its ends by a base (2) that is flat and that allows to position the corkscrew on a surface flat, such as a table, counter, etc., and maintained upright, that is to say standing, which is also achieved based on that the free ends (3) of the arms (1) can also be flat or rector, being able to keep the corkscrew in position vertical resting on those free ends (3) of the arms (1).

Those arms (1) are externally curved-convex, while internally present a lower section (4) curved-concave, and a section upper (5), longer than the previous one, which is flat, of so that between both sections (4 and 5) the arms (1) are equipped internally of some projections as wedges (6) that extend affecting everything that is the width of each arm (1), that is from a longitudinal edge to the opposite, so that each wedge (6) presents its lower horizontal face, while the upper one it is inclined, as can be clearly seen in figure 1, what which gives rise to those protrusions as wedge (6) and shape contrasting gradually increase in thickness and height from one end to the opposite, the inner surface being (7) of them curved-concave.

Those wedge-like projections (6) are made approximately one third of the free end of the arms (1), giving rise to those sections, that is to say on each arm (1) between the wedge-like projection (6) and the end free (3), be curved-concave inside, in so much so that from there and upwards the arms (1) are straight in regards to your inner face, since the outer we have said which is curved-convex.

The special configuration of the whole corkscrew, as described, allows the adjustment of this to the semi-closed hand, and at the same time inside the neck of the bottle in which the corkscrew is applied to carry out the corresponding cap removal.

Therefore, the corkscrew will be caught with the hand, the arms will open slightly (1) to save the volume of the mushroom corresponding to the cap of each bottle, to subsequently place or face the wedges (6) in the throat or groove determined between the bottom base of the plug mushroom and the rounded top edge of the bottle neck, then a corkscrew turn, with tightening smooth manual, whose turn carries with it the progressive introduction of the wedge-like projections (6) in that slot, and with it the upward axial displacement of the plug, i.e. in the direction exit of this one, which will allow an extraction of the cap of simple way, without great efforts and with total naturalness, also allowing to graduate the stamping capacity of the plug, without more than squeeze to a greater or lesser extent on the neck of the bottle with their own arms (1), and thus be able to reach a cap removal with more or less noise.

Obviously, in the removal of the cap logically collaborates the thrust that exerts the force that prints the gas contained in the bottle.
