- FIG. 2-B In FIG. 2-B is partially shown a container of the classic jar type with lid (12) "twist off” which has a throttle (15) under the thread (14) for the lid (12) particularly suitable for correct positioning of the belt (5) of the device according to the invention.
- This shape
- the drum (6) advantageously has a chamfer (16) upper and / or lower or other shape ⁇ adapted not to compromise the pressure of the belt (5) on the container (11) by untimely stop of the drum (6) against the container (11).
- Figure 3 shows an exploded bottom view of a device according to the invention "advanced" provided with improvements allowing the unscrewing with a single device of small and large lids.
- This device was the subject of an operational prototype made of plastic material, the plan of which is included in the Soleau envelope No. 14171.
- the plate (1) has a sliding wall (4) pivoting at an axis (17) and an adjustable stop in two positions consisting of a sliding cylinder (18) in an oblong hole
- the plate (1) has two holes for "ecanindus" pins (22) for fixing a bearing wall (2) with a flat surface or with a convex surface (23) or with a concave surface (24) possibly provided with a coating (3) with suitable adhesion.
- the plate (1) has the pivot axis (9) of the link arm (8) mounted at an oblong hole (26) in the link arm (8) also allowing its translation, the link arm (8) having a hole (27) forming a bearing on the pivot axis of the winding drum (6) by its operating handle (7), the belt (5) being fixed on the winding drum (6) .
- the plate (1) comprises a handle (30) for ergonomic holding consisting of an adequate extension of the plate (1) opposite the "work area" of the link arm (8), this "work area” corresponding at the surface described by S the link arm (8) during its pivoting.
- FIG. 4 shows a view from below of the same "advanced" device adjusted for unscrewing a large diameter cover, the sliding wall (4) being in the position of greatest spacing between walls (2, 4), this ⁇ sliding wall (4) which may include at least one flat, convex (23) or concave (24) surface, the winding drum (6) is in abutment at an adequate extension (28) of the plate ( 1) in the waiting position for inserting the cover.
- This same waiting position could have been obtained by * simple stop of the link arm against an element linked to the plate (1) projecting from its upper surface forming a stop.
