[Detailed description of the device]

[0001]

[Industrial applications]

 The present invention relates to a pull-top opener for easily and safely opening a pull-top such as a beverage can.

[0002]

[Prior art]

 Conventionally, in order to open the pull top of a beverage can, a person generally hooks his / her finger on the pull tab and pulls it up. Some of the pull tabs on this pull top made it difficult for humans to hook their fingers, and in some cases, they could catch their fingernails and damage them. Therefore, a notch is formed at the tip of a simple plate-like piece, and a pull tab is locked in this notch and applied to the rim of the can. A pull top opener in which a pull tab is pulled up and opened is known.

[0003]

[Problems to be solved by the device]

 Since the above-mentioned known pull-top opener is a simple plate-shaped piece, the pull-tab can be pulled up smoothly unless the notch at the tip is locked to the pull tab and the plate-shaped piece is not applied to the rim of the can at a right angle. I can't. That is, when the plate-shaped piece is diagonally contacted with the rim of the can, when the plate-shaped piece is pressed against the rim of the can to pull up the pull tab, the plate-shaped piece may slide on the rim of the can and pull up the pull-tab smoothly. There was a problem that it was not possible to open the pull top. In view of the above problems, an object of the present invention is to provide a pull-top opener capable of pulling up a pull tab easily, reliably and safely and opening a pull toff.

[0004]

[Means for Solving the Problems]

 In order to achieve the above object, according to the present invention, a locking arm having a leg standing upright on a position near the center of a pull top of a can and a locking tip protruding laterally from an intermediate position of the leg and locking the pull tab. And a pressing plate fixed to the upper end of the leg, the locking tip of the locking arm is locked to the pull tab, and the pressing plate is pushed down, so that the locking tip of the locking arm uses the lower end of the leg as a fulcrum. It is configured to raise the pull tab. It is desirable that the lower ends of the legs are curved. A pull tab locking recess may be formed on the tip of the locking arm. It is effective that the connecting position of the pressing plate and the leg is eccentric to the locking arm side from the center of the pressing plate. The pressing plate is composed of a circular plate, and a through hole is formed at a position facing the tip of the locking arm of the pressing plate. When an advertisement is displayed on the surface of the pressing plate, it can be used as an advertising medium. It can be used as an advertising medium even if an advertisement is displayed on the back surface of the pressing plate. A magnet may be attached to the surface of the pressing plate. The through hole may be semicircular, and a stopper protrusion may be provided at the edge of the through hole to form a cap opener for use as a cap opener. The locking arm may be formed of a pseudo ornamental body such as animals, fish, birds, shoes. The locking arm preferably constitutes a clip.

[0005]

[Action]

 In the pull-top opener of the present invention, the legs are placed upright near the center of the can, the locking tip of the locking arm is locked to the pull tab, and the side opposite to the locking arm of the pressing plate is pressed, With the lower end of the leg as a fulcrum, the locking tip of the locking arm rises, pulling up the pull tab to open the pull top of the can.

【Example】

 1 to 6 show the most preferred embodiment of the pull-top opener of the present invention, which is formed of a synthetic resin material. In the figure, reference numeral 1 is a leg that stands upright near the center of the pull top of the can, and a locking arm 2 that projects laterally is provided at the intermediate position, and a pressing plate 5 is fixed to the upper end of the leg 1. It is set up. A locking recess 4 is formed in the locking tip 3 of the locking arm 2, and the locking tip 3 is locked to the pull tab of the pull top of the can (see FIG. 5). Also, the lower ends of the legs are curved so as to bulge downwards, and this curved configuration makes it easier for the lower ends of the legs to slip when hooking and pulling up the pull tabs, and for smooth pulling up of the pull tabs. I am doing it.

In the embodiment shown in FIGS. 1 to 6, the pressing plate 5 is formed of a circular plate, and the center 6 of the connecting position of the pressing plate 5 and the leg 1 is closer to the center position 7 of the circular pressing plate 5. It is eccentric to the stop arm 2 side, which facilitates the pressing action of the pressing plate 5. Further, the pressing plate 5 is formed with a through hole 8 at a position facing the locking tip of the locking arm 2 so that the locking tip and the locking of the pull tab can be seen easily and the operation is facilitated. It The through hole 8 has a semicircular shape, and locking projections 10 and 10 are provided on opposite edges of the through hole 8 (shown in FIG. 4), thereby forming a bottle opener. Then, the advertising display 9 is provided on the front surface, the back surface, or both surfaces of the pressing plate 5, and the pull-top opener of the present invention can be used as an advertising medium. Further, as shown in FIG. 4, the magnet 11 is fixed to the surface of the pressing plate 5 so that it can be appropriately adhered to the metal surface, and the advertisement display 9 on the back surface of the pressing plate 5 can be effectively used as an advertising medium. .

In the embodiment shown in FIG. 7, the pressing plate 5 is composed of a triangular plate, and the leg 1 is connected to the triangular angular position. Further, in the embodiment shown in FIG. 8, the pressing plate 5 is composed of a circular plate, but the coupling position with the leg 1 is positioned near the circumference. In the embodiment shown in FIG. 9, the locking arm 2 is a pseudo ornament of a dolphin, and in the embodiment shown in FIG. 10, the locking arm 2 is a pseudo ornament of a shoe. This pseudo ornament can be various pseudo ornaments such as animals, birds, fish and human hands. Further, in the embodiment shown in FIG. 11, the locking arm 2 is formed as a clip so that it can be fixed to a chest pocket of clothes.

In the pull-top opener of the present invention having such a structure, as shown in FIG. 5, the leg 1 is placed and erected at a position near the center of the pull-top of the can, and the locking tip of the locking arm 2 is locked to the pull tab. Then, when the side of the pressing plate 5 opposite to the locking arm 2 is pushed down, the locking arm 2 pulls up the pull tab to open the pull top as shown in FIG. At this time, since the lower end of the leg 1 is curved, this lower end slides to facilitate pulling up of the pull tab.

[0010]

[Effect of device]

 According to the pull-top opener of the present invention configured as described above, the lower end of the leg 1 serves as a fulcrum, and the locking arm has the effect of pulling up the pull-tab easily and surely and safely opening the pull-top.
