1 Claim. 1
This invention relates to improvements in bottle openers, and more particularly to a novel bottle opener for use in removing caps of the crown type.
An object of the invention is to provide a device of the type which may be secured to a wall surface and which may be used to remove and temporarily retain a cap of the crown type.
Another object of the invention is to provide a device of the type having a yieldable jaw which will receive the crown cap of a bottle and which will retain the same after the openin operation.
Another object of the invention is to provide a device of the type having a yieldable jaw which will receive and retain a crown cap after an opening operation and which may be manually displaced to yield the cap to the user for removal from said opener. Due to this yieldable jaw construction, breakage of the bottle is prevented because of the slight give of said part. If both jaws were unyielding, breakage would result.
Other and further objects of the invention will appear as the description proceeds, reference being had to the accompanying drawing, in which:
Fig. 1 is a side view in elevation of a bottle opener embodying the invention shown afiixed to a wall surface.
Fig. 2 is a front view in elevation of the same.
Fig. 3 is a side view in vertical section of the device, showing a crown cap of a bottle engaged therein preparatory to removal of the same.
Fig. 4 is a side view in vertical section showing the yieldable jaw retracted to permit removal of the cap.
Referring more particularly to the drawing, the numeral I represents the device generally, having a base plate ll apertured at l2 and [3 to accommodate threaded means M for aifixing the same to a vertical wall surface. An arcuate shelf I5 is attached to the lower end l6 of the base plate II at an obtuse angle thereto and has a ledge IBA centrally thereof. The base plate H has a pair of parallel triangular ears I! and I8 disposed at right angles thereto, each apertured as at l9 to receive an axle 20 therein. A lever 2| is apertured at 22 to clear the screw head l4 and is integral with a yieldable jaw 23 having an end inwardly bent ledge 24. The jaw member 23 has a pair of downwardly turned ears 25 and 26 apertured at 21 and journaled on the axle 20 exteriorly of the triangular portions l1 and I8. A spring 28 is wound around the axle 20 centrally thereof and normally maintains the jaw 23 in closed position against the outer ends 29 and 30 of the triangular portions l1 and I8.
In use, the bottle 3| is presented so that the crown cap 32 will lodge in the arcuate shelf I5 within the ledge 16A. The bottle 3| is lifted, whereupon the upper portion of the crown cap 32 will slide under the yieldable jaw 23 and its ledge 24 against the pressure of the spring 28. The jaw 23 and the ledge 24, due to pressure of the spring, will snap about the edge 33 of the crown cap 32. A movement, either upwardly or downwardly, of the bottle 3| will cause removal of the crown cap 32 by reason of the retentive action of the ledges ISA and 24. The user may then press the lever 2| to release the cap 32 into his hand.
It will be apparent that the device is capable of many modifications in structure and design, without departing from the spirit of the invention, within the scope of the appended claim.
Having thus described the invention, what is claimed and desired to be secured by Letters Patent of the United States, is:
A bottle opener including a narrow elongated base plate adapted for attachment to a vertical wall surface, a pair of triangular elements struck out at right angles from said base plate and arranged in parallel relationship with each other, a relatively short extension from the lower end of said base plate integral therewith and disposed at an obtuse angle relatively thereto, arcuate lateral wings on said extension adapted to embrace the crown cap of a bottle, a short fixed jaw integral with said extension at right angles thereto and disposed intermediately of said lateral wings adapted to hook under a crown cap placed against said triangular members, an axle journalled transversely of said base plate in said triangular members, a lever journalled on said axle for limited movement thereon, a jaw integral with and projecting at right angles to said lever normally oppositely disposed to said fixed jaw, and spring means operable on said lever for urging said lever jaw toward said fixed jaw to retain a crown cap therebetween.
