Description

  The present invention relates to an instrument that can be used as both a bottle opening and a can opening.

  When the bottle is opened, it protrudes from a substantially cylindrical frame 1 having a groove on the inner side and an upper ceiling portion 2 of the substantially cylindrical frame 1 so as to fit into a cap that is attached to the upper part of the bottle. When the can is opened, the bottle and the can combined use opening device (hereinafter referred to as “the can”) are provided on the upper surface of the can and provided with an elongated opening frame 3 for allowing a small piece having a finger hook hole to enter. The basic configuration relating to “the combined use instrument” is as shown in FIG. 5, and such a configuration is publicly known.

  In this combined use instrument, when the cap is opened after being fitted to the cap of the bottle by the substantially cylindrical frame 1, the elongated opening frame 3 protruding from the upper ceiling portion of the cylindrical frame is gripped and rotated. While the opening is realized based on the principle of the lever, the can is in a state in which the small cylindrical piece 1 is inserted into the elongated opening frame 3 and is held by the substantially cylindrical frame 1 when opened by the small piece. For the opening on the upper side of the can, the tip of the elongated opening frame 3 is brought into contact with the upper side of the can and rotated to the upper side of the substantially cylindrical frame 1 and the small piece is pulled up using the lever principle. The opening is realized by breaking the score line.

  With this combined device, it is not necessary to touch the cap directly by hand when opening the bottle, and on the other hand, when opening the can, the finger can be opened without inserting a finger into the finger hooking hole. And it is very convenient in that the opening can be realized without damage to the nails.

  However, in the combined instrument according to the conventional configuration, when the small piece is moved into the upper portion after opening the can to open the can, when the small piece is moved upward, the small piece slides in the elongated opening frame 3, The danger that the smooth opening of the can cannot be realized due to detachment from the elongated opening 3 and the instability in operation based on the danger cannot be avoided.

  However, in the prior art, a configuration for improving this point is not proposed at all.

  In addition, the following patent documents propose structural features related to small pieces and openings at the opening of the can, but there are special recommendations for improving the configuration of the instrument that contributes to the opening of the can. I do not mean.
