Description

[Detailed description of the device]

[0001]

[Industrial applications]

 The present invention relates to a can of drinking water or the like, or a can and a bottle opening tool used when opening the mouth of the bottle.

[0002]

[Prior art]

 Recently, a can is used as a container for most of drinking water such as juice, and when drinking, a ring for a puller attached to the top of the can is pulled upward to open the mouth. There is. In some cases, a bottle is used as a container, and in this case, a stopper integrally formed with a ring is attached, and the stopper is formed by pulling the ring upward to open the stopper. When pulling these rings, a finger was inserted into the rings, and there was no special device for pulling.

[0003]

[Problems to be solved by the device]

 By the way, pulling the pull ring upward requires a lot of force, so it was often difficult for the elderly and other weak people to open it.

The present invention was developed in view of the above circumstances, and an object thereof is to provide a device that allows even weak people to easily open the mouths of cans and bottles.

[0005]

[Means for Solving the Problems]

 In order to achieve the above object, a rod-shaped lever is provided with a continuous grip portion, and the lever is formed with a notch for receiving a puller ring attached to a can or a bottle.

【Example】

 A description will be given below based on the illustrated embodiment. FIG. 1 shows a first embodiment of a can and bottle opening tool of the present invention, which is a lever 1 formed by bending a steel bar and having a linear shape of a required length. Then, it is bent into a substantially elliptical ring shape to form the holding portion 2.

The lever 1 is provided with two notches 3 and 4 facing upwards at a required interval. The notches 3 and 4 are formed so as to be steep enough to bite into the front end surface in a slightly curved shape, and have a substantially triangular shape in a side view in which the rear surface is cut out into a gently inclined curved surface. The lever 1 is tapered so that it becomes thinner toward the tip, and the tip is formed in a rounded shape. Further, the end portion of the grip portion is in contact with the base portion of the lever 1, but the end surface is U-shaped so that it can be easily set.

FIG. 2 shows a second embodiment. In this embodiment, just as in the case of the first embodiment, a lever 1 is formed in which a linear steel bar is provided with cutouts 3 and 4 in the upward direction, and a cylindrical synthetic resin is formed at the base of the lever 1. The grip part 5 is attached. The notch 3 is formed near the tip portion, and the notch 4 is formed at a distance from the grip portion.

Next, a method of using the present invention will be described. 3 to 6 show the case where the pulling ring 7 of the can 6 and the cutout portion 8a of the lid 8 are peeled off to be used for opening. In the case of a large can (355 mm1 can) of this type, first hold the mouth opening tool of the present invention in the grip portion 5, and insert the lever 1 part from the back side into the ring 7 as shown in FIGS. 3 and 4. Then, the ring 7 is received at the notch 4 portion near the gripping portion, the tip of the lever 1 is brought into contact with the edge 6a portion of the can 6, and the side edge portion 8b of the lid 8 is lifted up as a fulcrum to raise the ring. 7 and the cutout 8a can be peeled off from the lid 8 (FIG. 5).

Further, in the case of a small can (250 ml), as shown in FIG. 6, the ring 7 is received at the notch 3 portion near the tip of the lever 1, and similarly, the side edge portion 8a of the lid 8 is lifted as a fulcrum. When raised, the ring 7 and the cutout 8a can be peeled off from the lid 8.

In a type (large can) in which the cutout portion 8a of the lid 8 is bent inward with the ring 9 to open (the large can), the lever 1 is inserted into the ring 9 from the back side as shown in FIGS. 3, the ring 9 is received, the tip of the lever 1 is brought into contact with the end of the ring 9, and raised by using the contact portion 9a as a fulcrum, the cutout portion 8a is bent and opened in the can (Fig. 9). ).

When using the glass bottle 10 of the type with the aluminum cap 11 attached, the lever 1 is inserted into the ring 12 protruding from the lower side of the aluminum cap 11 from the lower side along the bottle from the lower side. Then, the ring 12 is hooked at the notch 4 portion, the middle portion of the lever 1 is brought into contact with the side edge of the aluminum cap 11 (Fig. 10), and the lever 1 is raised with the contact portion 11a as a fulcrum (Fig. 11). ), The aluminum cap 11 can be lifted from the body of the glass bottle 10 and removed (FIG. 12).

[0012]

[Effect of device]

 Since this device has the above-mentioned structure, if you raise it by inserting it into the ring part of the can and lifting it up, you can easily open the can and bottle without applying a large force based on the principle of leverage. Therefore, even a weak person such as an old person can easily do it by himself by using the mouth opening device of the present invention.
