CA1? OR CROWN PULLER.
Application filed March 26,
To all whom it may concern:
Be it known that 1,.HERBERT B. MonIAR'rY, a citizen of the United States, residing at Memphis, in the county of Shelby and State which are made a part hereof and on which similar reference characters indicate similar oarts,
Figure 1 is a perspective of my device,
Figure 2 a side view illustrating the operation, and r Figure 3 a front view of Figure 2 on an enlarged scale.
In the drawings reference character 10 indicates the body of the device which is bent as shown to provide a vertical back piece adapted to be secured to a wall or the like by screws or other fastening devices passing through openings at 11 and an integral overhanging upper part bent down at its forward end and having grooves stamped or otherwise formed therein to provide this part With. teeth 12 pointing down and inclined slightly inward toward the body member. Underneath the overhanging part is a. Z-shaped ledge 13 secured to the body as by rivets lei extending through one of its parallel parts, the other parallel part providing a shelf between which and the body member is located a spacer block 15 of rubber or like material. This ledge may be cast in one piece with the unitary back and top. The thickness of the rubber block is such as tolet the teeth project enough to engage with the cap and not with the bead about the neck of the bottle, the projection of the teeth being preferably equal to the distance between the outer wall of the bottle and the high point of the corrugations on the cap. The rubber also acts as a cushion to prevent cracking or crushing of the bottle neck on striking the top of the opener.
In the operation of the device a bottle 16 is placed in the position indicated and preferably the upper edge of the cap 17 is caused 1923 Serial No. 627,751.
to engage the teeth 12 before the top of the capstrikes against the part 10. This causes the corrugations of th cap to pass into the slots between the teeth whereby the teeth engage the under rim of the cap at 18 or the corrugations 19 shown in Figure 3. In either case the rubber block holds the bottle away from the teeth so as to permit only the cap to be engaged thereby and prevent the same from catching the bead at the upper rim of the glass and breaking or chipping it. Such breakage is undesirable in that pieces of glass are liable to get into the material poured from the bottle and also in that the bottle is spoiled for further use since the break will prevent the cap from; fitting tightly and so permit the bottle to leak. In devices hitherto used the part engaging the cap usually had a straight edge which frequently projected far enough to engage the bead around the top of the bottle and chip it whereas the teeth of my opener if they did so engage would slip off without breaking or chipping it.
In my device also the pressure in removing the cap is exerted against the top of the cap or crown instead of against the side and thus I avoid any pressure diametrically of the neck of the bottle, that being one feature often causing chipping of the neck of the bottle mainly of course at the bead near the upper rim of the-b-ottle-. The inclined top part also offers a prominent space for advertising matter and is used for this purpose. The bottom part is made short so that the top of the cap will strike against it. It may be noted that the teeth act as guides for the cap b-ut'engage it only slightly so as to bring it into place with a minimum of friction and in a very eiiicient manner, besides being very eflicient and certain in removing the cap.
Minor variations of this device will be obvious to those skilled in the art and therefore I do not limit myself to what is shown in the drawings and described in the specification but only as indicated in the to catch under the edge of a bottle cap, and a spacing element located in the angle between the two last-named parts having a thickness slightly less than the width of said downwardly extending portion, substantially as set forth.
2. In a cap puller for bottles, a rear part for attachment to a fixed support, a part rigid with said rear part and extending forward at an angle thereto, a part extending downward from the edge of said angular part to catch under the edge of a bottle cap, and yieldable spacing means located at the angle between the angular part and the downwardly extending part having a thickness slightly less than the width of said downwardly extending part, substantially as set forth.
3. In a cap puller for bottles, a rear part adapted to be secured to a fixed support, an inclined part rigid with said rear part having downwardly directed teeth at its forward edge said teeth being .in position to engage under the edge of the bottle cap when it rests against said rear part, and spacing means under said inclined part covering all but the ends of said teeth, substantially as set forth. I
4-. In a cap puller for bottles, a back part adapted to be secured to a fixed support, an inclined part rigid therewith and extending forward at an angle thereto, a straight row of teeth at the forward edge of said angular part adapted to engage under a bottle cap, and a yieldable spacer in the angle between said angular part and said teeth having a thickness slightly less than the length of said teeth, substantially as set forth.
5. In a cap puller for bottles, a back part adapted to be secured to a fixed support, an inclined part rigid therewith and extending forward at an angle thereto, and a row of spaced teeth at the forward edge of said angular part adapted to engage the bottom edge of a bottle cap the spaces between the teeth corresponding approx1-. mately to the spaces between corrugations on the cap, substantially as set forth.
6. In a cap puller for bottles, a back part adapted to be secured to a fixed support, an inclined part rigid therewith and extending forward at an angle thereto, and a row of spaced teeth at the forward edge of said angular part adapted to engage the bottom edge of a bottle cap the spaces between said teeth being approximately equal to those between corrugations on the cap and the back part bearing against the top of the bottle cap, substantially as set forth.
In witness whereof, I have hereunto set my hand and seal at Memphis, Tennessee, this 10th day of March, A. D. nineteen hundred and twenty-three.
