Abstract

<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a user-friendly screw cap opener for releasing a wide variety of screw caps (mouthpieces) scratching no caps and requiring neither force to be applied to the caps nor strong force to press bottles as a reaction force. <P>SOLUTION: An annular plate is mounted on the first handle and on the second handle. The plate on the first handle is fitted removably with a wedge for fixing a bottle neck. The plate on the second handle is fitted removably with a wedge for fixing a screw cap. Both plates are jointly connected concentrically able to rotate and whirl when rotated by the handles. The screw cap is opened being held and fixed by both wedges and rotated by both handles. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2005,JPO&NCIPI

Description

  The present invention relates to a screw lid opener used when opening screw lids (caps) of various containers.

  Various types of openers have been developed to open when the screw caps of various containers are tight, but they can be used for wide-mouth screw caps, without damaging the screw caps and on the screw lid side. In addition, there was no easy-to-use product that did not require a strong force to suppress the bottle side as a reaction force.

In view of this, the present invention is capable of releasing the screw lid even by a person with weak force, and various examinations on how to make it applicable to a wide variety of screw lids. As a result, the present invention has been reached.

  The present invention has been made in view of such circumstances, and the problem to be solved is to enable easy release of screw lids, which are becoming various, even for people with weak power. It is to be.

  Accordingly, the present invention has been made to solve the above-described problems, and provides an opener that can easily open the screw lid with good operability while having a simple configuration. There is.

  In order to achieve the above-mentioned object, the present invention has a first handle, an annular plate attached to the second handle, and a wedge for fixing the bottle neck movably attached to the annular plate on the first handle side, A wedge for fixing the screw lid is movably attached to the annular plate on the second handle side, and both annular plates are connected so as to turn and rotate on a concentric circle when the handle is rotated.

  The present invention is an application of the principle of “wedge” and “lever”. The wedge cap and the neck of the bottle are gripped and fixed with a strong force with a wedge, and a large force is applied to open the lid with the turning moment of the handle using the lever. Can be obtained.

  The present invention is configured as described in detail above, so that it is possible to reliably grip screw caps of various sizes, and of course, it is possible to release the screw cap without damaging the screw cap. A screw lid opener that can be easily performed, if any, can be provided by a simple structure.

  Next, the embodiments of the present invention shown in the drawings will be described. The entire body portion is made of metal, or includes the first handle, the annular plate on the second handle side, and the wedge mounting portion. It may be integrally formed of synthetic resin, or the handle portion may be made of synthetic resin material or wood. The wedge is made of an elastic material made of rubber or synthetic resin.

  The wedge 3 for grasping and fixing the bottle neck 1 is movably attached to the wedge mounting portion 8 attached in a ring shape inside the annular plate 7 of the first handle 5. The wedge 4 that holds and fixes the screw lid 2 is movably attached to the mounting portion 10 of the annular plate 9 of the second handle 6. The annular plates 7 and 9 are connected by a connecting portion 11 so as to be able to rotate and turn on a concentric circle.

  Next, the use of the screw lid opener will be described. The opener is mounted with the wedges 3 and 4 loosened from the top of the screw lid 2, and the wedges 3 are pushed into the necks of the bottles to be held and fixed. 4 is pushed into the screw lid and is held and fixed (this order may be reversed). If the first handle 5 and the second handle 6 are rotated left and right so as to open each other while being held and held by the wedge, the screw cover that is tightly closed can be opened.

    As is clear from the above description, this screw lid opener has a large rotational force applied to the bottle neck and the screw lid by the handles 5 and 6 without selecting the size of the screw lid as long as it is adjustable within the wedge. Can be opened reliably. Further, since the wedges 3 and 4 are made of an elastic material, there is no possibility of damaging the screw lid.

  Although the best or preferred embodiments of the present invention have been described above, the present invention is not limited to the above-described embodiments, and many modifications can be made without departing from the present invention.
