Description

[Detailed description of the invention]

[0001]

[Technical field to which the invention belongs]

 The present invention relates to a lid opening / bag opening device for opening a lid of a plastic bottle or the like and opening a bag of a cellophane or the like.

[0002]

[Prior art]

 Opening pull taps such as PET bottle lids and juice cans can be a daunting task for the sick and the elderly with reduced physical strength. In view of such circumstances, the present inventors have previously proposed an opening tool that allows anyone to easily open such a lid (see Japanese Utility Model Registration No. 3061216).

[0003] In the above technique, a ring-shaped belt is attached to one side of a gripper, and the belt is wrapped around a lid of a pet bottle and the gripper is turned to open the lid without requiring a strong force. In addition, the protrusion of the insertion part with a slit formed on the opposite side of the belt is inserted into the pull tap of the can, and the gripper is moved by the principle of leverage, so that the pull tap easily rises and opening with the finger is easy. It is possible.

[0004]

[Problems to be solved by the invention]

 The opening tool described above has proven to be very appropriate and beneficial in opening plastic bottle lids and pull taps. By the way, not only does the opening of the lid remain for elderly people with weak power, but also small bags such as cellophane containing confectionery such as rice crackers may not be able to open the bag mouth even if there is a cut. The present inventor is worried about such a situation, and intends to provide an opening which makes the opening of the bag extremely easy by improving the conventional lid opening.

In the present invention, a ring-shaped belt 2 for opening a bottle cover is attached to one end of the gripper 1, and a plug 7 for prying a pull tap of a can is formed at the other end, and the plug 7 is inserted. At the back end of the slit 8, a horizontal blade 9 with the cutting edge S directed forward of the slit 8 is fixed in parallel with the plate surface 1 a, and the upper and lower surfaces of the plate surface 1 a facing the cutting edge S of the horizontal blade 9 are inclined. The formation of the sharpened portion 10 is a technical measure.

[0006]

[Embodiment of the invention]

 In FIG. 1, reference numeral 1 denotes a synthetic resin gripping body which can fit entirely in the palm, has a maximum length of 12 cm, a width of a straight portion of about 2.4 cm, and a flat plate surface 1a having a thickness of 3 mm. The rim is formed in a bulging shape to provide strength and make it easier to hold.

A ring-shaped belt 2 is attached to the center of one end of the holding body 1. Both ends of the belt 2 are located in the mounting groove 3 recessed in the holding body 1 together with the cover body 4, and are fixed with set screws 5 screwed into two screw holes orthogonal to the mounting groove 3. . The gripping body 1 has inclined support portions 6 and 6 ′ having different lengths at the left and right entrances of the mounting groove 3.

The above-mentioned ring-shaped belt 2 opens the lid 21 of the bottle 20 as shown in FIG. 3A, that is, when the belt 2 is engaged with the lid 21 and the gripper 1 is turned counterclockwise, The base of the belt 2 is controlled by one of the support portions 6 and 6 ′ (short support portion 6 ′ in the figure) and fits on the lid 21. Can be opened. Even if the bottle 20 has the same shape, the size of the diameter of the lid 21 may be different. By forming the belt 2 in advance so as to match the lid of the large diameter, the ring-shaped belt 2 engaged with the lid of the small diameter is formed. Can be absorbed by the support 6 having a large length. In other words, the support portion 6 having a large length is suppressed and the diameter of the belt 2 can be reduced, so that the belt 2 can be fitted to a cover having a small diameter. Regardless of which of the large and small lids 21 is opened, one of the support portions 6 and 6 ′ is located on the right side of the base of the belt 2. Use it upside down.

At the other end of the holding body 1, a slit 8 having a length of about 3 cm and a width of about 3 mm or less is formed at the center in the longitudinal direction of the plate surface 1a, and one side Y is sharp and slightly longer. The part 7 is formed. FIG. 3B shows a state in which the pull tap 31 of the can 30 is pryed open at the insertion portion 7 of the gripping body 1. When the pull tap 31 is engaged in the slit 8 and the gripper 1 is moved in a lever-like manner, the pull tap 31 can easily be raised. Therefore, the upper surface of the can 30 is opened without difficulty if the pull tap 31 is normally opened with a finger.

At the far end of the slit 8, a horizontal blade 9 with the cutting edge S directed forward of the slit 8 is fixed in parallel with the plate surface 1 a. In order to mount the horizontal blade 9, a concave portion K is formed in the plate surface 1a (see FIG. 2A), and the horizontal blade 9 is disposed so that the cutting edge S protrudes slightly, and the upper surface is formed. And a wide lid T is placed over the plate surface 1a. Then, the upper and lower surfaces (including the lid T) of the plate surface 1a facing the cutting edge S of the horizontal blade are formed to be inclined to form a sharpened portion 10 (see FIG. 2B).

FIG. 2 (c) shows a state in which a flat small bag 40 of cellophane is opened by the horizontal blade 9, and the bag opening 41 of the small bag 40 is set up so as to face the slit 8, and is then inserted into the slit 8. When the bag mouth 41 is inserted, the bag mouth 41 comes into contact with the cutting edge S of the horizontal blade at the back end of the slit and is cut, and the cutting portion is cut vertically along the sharp portion 10 of the gripping body 1. Therefore, if the bag opening 41 at the cut location is opened with both hands, the small bag 40 can be opened without difficulty.

The upper and lower surfaces of the holding body 1 have the same shape, and when the magnet piece M is fixed to one of the plate surfaces 1a so as to protrude slightly from the peripheral edge thereof, the holding body 1 can be easily attached to the side surface of a metal furniture, a refrigerator or the like. Simply attach. It is needless to say that the gripper 1 can be hung at the place where the hook is provided by the ring-shaped belt 2.

[Effect of the invention]

 In the present invention, the opening of the bottle lid can be easily made by the ring-shaped belt attached to one end of the gripper, and the pull-tap of the can can be raised with little force by the insertion part formed at the other end. It is very convenient for the sick and elderly to open plastic bottles and cans.

In the present invention, since a horizontal blade is attached to the back end of the slit of the gripper, if the mouth of a small bag such as cellophane containing a confectionery or a seasoning is inserted into the slit, the notch is cut into the bag by the blade edge. Even without this, the bag mouth is cut off and the cut portion is cut up and down along the sharpened portion of the gripper, so that the bag can be opened without applying force.

As described above, the present invention alone can operate not only the opening of the bottle lid and the pull tap, but also the opening of the bag mouth, and is simple in structure and easy to hold, can be easily stored in a pocket or a bag, and is complicated. Since it can be manufactured without a process, it can be mass-produced at low cost, and is a very useful device in practical use.
