Abstract

The invention relates to a device enabling screw-on lids on containers to be unscrewed effortlessly, even using only one hand. This is achieved by tightly gripping the lid and the container simultaneously whilst imparting a relative rotation thereto. The apparatus is as easy to use as a pair of pliers. It is principally made up of two rings (1, 2) each equipped with a clamping lever (3, 4). These two subassemblies, although they are connected together, have an angular clearance which enables the lid to be unscrewed. The device according to the invention is particularly designed for opening jars.

Description

La présente invention concerne un dispositif pour débloquer sans effort, voir d'une seule main, les couvercles vissés utilisés notamment en alimentation pour la fermeture des bocaux. The present invention relates to a device for unblocking effortlessly, even with one hand, the screwed covers used in particular in food for closing the jars.

I1 existe actuellement, pour ce faire, des pinces qui, ne serrant que le couvercle, obligent l'utilisateur à immobiliser le récipient à la main ce qui bien souvent est fort aléatoire, voir impossible pour certaines personnes, enfants, vieillards, amputés, etc. ... I1 currently exists, to do this, pliers which, tightening only the lid, oblige the user to immobilize the container by hand which very often is very random, see impossible for some people, children, old people, amputees, etc. . ...

Le dispositif selon l'invention permet de remédier à cet inconvénient en assurant une prise simultanée du couvercle et du récipient tout en effectuant le début du dévissage. The device according to the invention overcomes this drawback by ensuring a simultaneous grip of the cover and the container while performing the beginning of unscrewing.

Pour cela, 1 invention se compose principalement de deux systèmes de serrage à levier, l'un appliqué au couvercle, l'autre au bocal. Ces sous-ensembles, bien que solidaires l'un de l'autre, disposent d'un débattement angulaire de plusieurs dizaines de degrés. For this, the invention mainly consists of two lever clamping systems, one applied to the cover, the other to the jar. These sub-assemblies, although integral with one another, have an angular displacement of several tens of degrees.

L'appareil se présente sous la forme approximative d'une pince. The device is presented in the approximate form of a clamp.

Par le rapprochement de ses branches nous assurons d'abord la tenue du récipient et de son couvercle puis, la rotation relative des deux dispositifs de serrage. Ceci a pour effet de dévisser le couvercle de quelques degrés. Le déblocage étant réalisé, il est alors aisé de poursuivre le dévissage à la main.By bringing together its branches, we first ensure that the container and its lid are held, then the relative rotation of the two clamping devices. This has the effect of unscrewing the cover a few degrees. Unblocking being carried out, it is then easy to continue unscrewing by hand.

Selon un mode particulier de réalisation les parties du système de serrage en contact avec le récipient peuvent être recouvertent d'abrasif ou d'une autre matière augmentant le coefficient de frottement avec le verre du bocal. According to a particular embodiment, the parts of the clamping system in contact with the container can be covered with abrasive or another material increasing the coefficient of friction with the glass of the jar.

The invention is illustrated by the attached plans
Figure I shows the device according to the invention in front view.

La figure 2 représente, en coupe, ce dispositif en place sur un récipient et son couvercle.Figure 2 shows, in section, this device in place on a container and its lid.

La figure 3 représente le dispositif suivant une vue de droite.Figure 3 shows the device in a right view.

En référence à ces dessins l'ensemble se compose
D'un anneau inférieur 1 lié au levier 3 par l'intermédiaire de l'axe 5. En actionnant le levier 3 vers la gauche, nous immobilisons le récipient par les points A, B et C.
With reference to these drawings the set consists
From a lower ring 1 linked to the lever 3 via the axis 5. By actuating the lever 3 to the left, we immobilize the container by points A, B and C.

D'un anneau supérieur 2 lié au levier 4 par l'intermédiaire de l'axe 6. En actionnant le levier 4 vers la droite, nous assurons la tenue du couvercle par les points D, E et F. A noter la présence des ergots G et H qui positionnent l'ensemble par rapport à ce couvercle.  An upper ring 2 linked to the lever 4 via the axis 6. By actuating the lever 4 to the right, we ensure that the cover is held by the points D, E and F. Note the presence of the pins G and H which position the assembly relative to this cover.

La liaison des deux sous-ensembles est assurée par les fourches I et J ainsi que par le guide K solidaires de l'anneau 2. Leur débattement angulaire est limité par ce meme guide K ainsi que par la butée 7 monte sur le rail 8 à même l'anneau 1. The connection of the two sub-assemblies is ensured by the forks I and J as well as by the guide K integral with the ring 2. Their angular movement is limited by this same guide K as well as by the stop 7 mounted on the rail 8 to even ring 1.

Le ressort 9 tend à maintenir l'appareil en position neutre. The spring 9 tends to keep the device in neutral position.

Selon une variante non illustrée, l'invention peut etre équipée d'un petit moteur électrique afin de rendre son utilisation encore plus aisée. Dans ce cas notamment, au moins l'un des dispositifs de serrage peut être remplacé par un système à pince. According to a variant not illustrated, the invention can be equipped with a small electric motor in order to make its use even easier. In this case in particular, at least one of the clamping devices can be replaced by a clamp system.

A noter que chaque dimension de l'appareil correspond à un diamètre de couvercle donné, indépendamment de la taille et de la forme du récipient. Note that each dimension of the device corresponds to a given lid diameter, regardless of the size and shape of the container.

Le dispositif selon 1 invention est particulièrement destiné à l'ouverture de pots alimentaires.  The device according to 1 invention is particularly intended for the opening of food pots.
