Description

DESCRIPTION

Cap that incorporates means for its extraction, cord, hooking ring and other accessories Technical object of the invention

The present invention refers to a stopper for bottles of wine, champagne, cider or similar drinks of all kinds, which incorporates an opening device without requiring the use of a corkscrew, with the consequent advantages that this entails.

The stopper consists of an extractor element, which protrudes from its upper part, a rod that partially crosses its body and a pusher element inside.

In addition to the cord and hook ring that allow the creation of an association of the stopper with the bottle in order to prevent its loss, it has other accessories that are described in this document.

Technical field to which the invention relates

The invention presented affects the Diverse Industrial Techniques Sector of the International Patent Classification (CIP), in its Maintenance section, in relation to auxiliary devices for the maintenance and storage of liquids, directly affecting the industrial sector of manufacturing plugs and accessories for their extraction.

Background of the invention

Since the storage of liquids in bottles has been universally used since time immemorial, the existence of innumerable solutions invented and registered with regard to caps or closing elements as well as with regard to the tools for their extraction is understandable.

There are screw caps, sheet metal caps, inviolable caps for non-refillable bottles, those that favor pouring, seal caps, those suitable for liquids with or without pressure, pouring caps, non-drip caps, cork caps, plastic caps, self-extracting and many more. The cap presented in this document, in addition to having the opening means itself, has the added advantage of avoiding the loss of the cap, once it has been removed, in addition to other details that make it uniquely attractive.

Although there are many recorded antecedents, we are going to cite some that are close to the present invention:

ES-2020051 A6 Seal cap for bottles and the like

ES-1067026 U Flexible stopper for bottles

ES-1072821 U Cap for vaporizer with decorative tape

The first cited ES-2020051 A6 describes a cap that is related to the bottle because there is a hinge device, that is, it is a cap that cannot be lost.

The second ES-1067026 U describes a stopper with two tabs facing each other in such a way that pressure can be applied to them with the fingers of one hand, at which time the adjustment edges separate from the neck of the bottle, allowing the stopper to be removed. In other words, the stopper itself has the means that allow its extraction.

The third ES-1072821 U deals with a stopper with a decorative tape that joins the stopper to the neck of the bottle where it is sealed, that is, there is a relationship between the stopper and the container which, in this case, is a perfume bottle.

Other models of caps that are inseparable from the container are also known, to prevent its loss, applicable to milk brics or oil cans for automobiles.

These antecedents show us inventions that have something in common with what is described in this document but, as we will see, they are very different from the solution that is presented now, where the inventor proposes a simple, economical and innovative solution according to the current state. of the technique.

It should also be noted that, although the invention focuses on a special stopper that incorporates the extraction means, it could be considered that, depending on how you look at it, it is just another corkscrew, in the wide field of corkscrews, whose registered models are innumerable. with characteristics and properties of all kinds.

Summary description of the invention

As previously indicated, the invention refers to a stopper for bottles of wine, champagne, cider or similar drinks of all kinds, which incorporates an opening device without requiring the use of a corkscrew, having, among other things, a cord and Hooking ring that allows creating an association of the stopper with the bottle in order to avoid its loss. The object of the invention is applicable to any of the usual bottles on the market for alcoholic and non-alcoholic beverages or of any other type, which are closed with a natural, synthetic or plastic cork, which is completely inserted into the the neck of the bottle requiring, consequently, some extraction element that normally takes the form of a corkscrew, of the multiple existing ones on the market.

The opening device, a handle that protrudes from the upper part of the cap, adopts multiple forms, depending on the embodiment, some of which are included in the figure section of this document.

Forming part of the cap itself, there is a cord and a hooking ring, which are deployed by the user, in the opening process, hooking the ring to the neck of the bottle and thus establishing a relationship that keeps the cap attached to the bottle. bottle avoiding its loss. The device described in this document has, among others, two very important and novel characteristics, such as:

- incorporating a microchip in the cap itself that emits music or various phrases that are activated when it is opened.

- Incorporating a breather hole that, being closed in the initial state of the plug, allows the entry of air at the moment of opening when the user applies a small twist to the handle.

The invention thus conceived brings together a series of advantages such as:

- Practical solution for opening bottle caps

- Very versatile and applicable to various types of bottles, containers or containers It is manufactured in different sizes and shapes with attractive designs

- The need to have a corkscrew is avoided.

Detailed explanation of embodiments of the invention

Stopper that incorporates means for its extraction, cord, hooking ring and other accessories (1) (Figs. 1 to 8) consisting of a stopper for bottles of wine, champagne, cider or similar drinks, which incorporates a device for opening without require the use of a corkscrew having, among other things, a cord and hook ring that allows creating an association of the stopper with the bottle in order to avoid its loss.

In a first embodiment preferred by its inventor, the stopper (1), with a body (2) made of natural cork, synthetic cork or plastic, in the shape of a right prism of revolution and circular cross section, has a ring handle (3 ), through which the user inserts one of their fingers, to exert the extraction shot. Said handle (3) is related to a flat plate pusher (4) located inside the body (2) attached to the ring handle (3), by means of a connecting rod (5) that partially crosses the inside of the body. (2) by its axis of symmetry, in such a way that the action of pulling from the upper part of the body of the cap translates into a push from below that executes the extraction from the neck of the corresponding bottle.

Under these conditions, the stopper would remain independent of the bottle, which could cause it to be lost. For this reason, the inventor complements the device with an element that is located on the upper base of the body (2) of the stopper (1) that is made up of a safety cord (6) or nylon thread and a hooking ring (6.1 ) shown, schematically, in (Figs.2 and 3) where it can be seen that the cord is attached at one end to the connecting rod (5) and at the opposite end to the hooking ring (6.1) that It has the particularity of being open, presenting an opening (6.2) which allows its elastic deformation to be able to be placed in the neck of the bottle (7) below its neck (8), as shown in (Fig. 4).

The set of cord (6) and hooking ring (6.1) are very loosely adhered to the upper part of the body (2) of the stopper (1) so that it is very easy to detach by pulling slightly on them. Although the cord (6) has been represented in the form of a spiral, it can be placed in the way that is considered most convenient. When the bottle is ready for sale, the safety cord (6) and the hook ring (6.1) are hidden under the seal that normally covers the mouth, neck and part of the neck of the bottle.

It is important that the coupling ring (6.1), which is made of flexible plastic or metal, has enough opening to be incorporated without difficulty and without breaking into the neck of the bottle (7), below its neck (8). , which, being of a greater diameter than the neck, acts as a stop for the coupling ring (6.1) preventing it from coming out, thus ensuring the union of the cap (1) and bottle (7) that remain paired.

In (Fig.3) the situation prior to said pairing that has already occurred in (Fig.4) has been represented.

It should be noted that the placement of the hooking ring (6.1) on the neck of the bottle (7) can be carried out even before the removal of the cap (1) since it is allowed, with slack, by the length of the safety cord (6) that Preferably, it is expected to be made of nylon, although it can be made of another material that has flexibility and resistance.

A particularity of the stopper of the invention is that a microchip with a button (3.1) is installed in the handle (3), at its upper part, which emits short-duration sounds such as music, welcome phrases, congratulations or any other reason that decided at the time of programming. In order for the microchip to activate, a force similar to that necessary to extract the cap is required in the push button, so that lower forces do not cause its activation, thus avoiding accidental firing.

On the other hand, the body (2) of the cap (1) has a body hole (2.1) that goes through it in its entirety, although it is well closed by the flat plate pusher (4) that interferes with the trajectory of the hole (2.1). ). In turn, the flat plate pusher (4) is provided with another hole (4.1) with the same diameter as that of the body (2). This arrangement allows that when the person who executes the opening applies a previous turn to the shooter, before applying the extraction force, the holes (2.1) and (4.1) coincide with the consequence of allowing air to enter the the bottle to facilitate uncorking. Otherwise, the extraction of the stopper would cause a vacuum effect that would make said extraction difficult. In (Figs. 1, 3 and 4) the location of the microchip (3.1) and that of the holes (2.1) and (4.1) are schematically shown.

The operation of this first embodiment is the same as that of the other embodiments that have been schematized in (Figs. 5 to 8) where, by way of example, four other types of caps (1) are represented. to give an idea of the variety and possibilities of the invention.

Thus, (Fig.5) shows the solution with a double ring handle (3.a) and the same flat plate pusher (4) and connecting rod (5).

In (Fig.6), the plug has a roller-type handle (3.b). In (Fig.7) the handle is of the arch type (3.c) and in (Fig.8) the stopper has a lever-type handle (3.d), the same connecting rod (5) and a pusher spiked plate type (4.2) that is also housed inside the body (2) of the stopper (1).

All embodiments have the microchip (3.1) and the holes (2.1) and (4.1)

The inventor does not rule out the manufacture of other models whose handle evokes car brands, animal silhouettes or any other motif, also projecting folding or collapsible handles to minimize the total volume of the cap.

As for the materials, the body (2) of the stopper is preferably made of natural or synthetic cork and also of plastic, and stainless steel, aluminum or plastic are proposed for the handles, rods and pushers, having previously indicated those that are They provide for the safety cord (6) and hooking ring (6.1). It is not ruled out, however, that the coupling ring is totally closed, made of rubber.

In special stoppers, the manufacture of the handle is foreseen in noble materials or others that improve its presence and attractiveness for use as personal or business gifts.

It is not considered necessary to make the content of this description more extensive so that an expert in the field can understand the scope and advantages derived from the invention, as well as how to develop and put into practice the object of the same. However, it must be understood that the invention has been described according to preferred embodiments and may be subject to modifications provided that this does not affect or imply any alteration of the foundation of said invention. In other words, the terms in which this description of the invention has been exposed must always be taken broadly and not limitingly.
