Abstract

The invention concerns a system for opening of cans, very simple to use, efficient, not requiring much effort and without risks. It consists in inserting the profiled tip (5) in the lid ring, exerting a tilting movement rearwards, using the handle (2) which lifts the ring, and the latter will strike the lid and by continuing the movement the lid will be lifted and wound around the circular body (4) effortlessly until it is partially or completely opened as desired. The invention is of interest to all persons desiring to open a can provided with a ring.

Description

OUVRE BOÎTES CAN OPENERS
La présente invention est un ouvre boîte destiné à ouvrir toutes les boîtes de la plus petite à la plus longue (actuellement sur le marché) équipées d'un anneau que l'on doit soulever à l'aide d'un ongle et tracter avec un doigt que l'on introduit dans cet anneau.The present invention is a can opener intended to open all boxes from the smallest to the longest (currently on the market) equipped with a ring which must be lifted with a fingernail and towed with a finger that we introduce into this ring.
L'ouverture de certaines boîtes se révèle être difficile 1 ) Crocheter et lever 1 ' anneau à l' aide de F ongleOpening some boxes turns out to be difficult 1) Crocheting and lifting the ring using F nail
2) Risque de blessures avec le couvercle2) Risk of injury from the cover
3) La traction à l'aide d'un doigt introduit dans l'anneau prévu à cet effet se révèle être douloureuse3) Traction using a finger inserted into the ring provided for this purpose proves to be painful
4) Maintien difficile de toutes boîtes plates pour résister à la traction inverse4) Difficult holding of all flat boxes to resist reverse traction
5) Projection d'huile ou de sauce par le couvercle faisant ressort en fin d'ouverture lorsqu'il se détache de la boîte suite à une traction difficilement contrôlable5) Projection of oil or sauce by the spring-like cover at the end of opening when it detaches from the box following a traction that is difficult to control
L'appareil selon l'invention permet de remédier à ces inconvénients précitésThe apparatus according to the invention overcomes these aforementioned drawbacks
1) L'avantage de cette invention est qu 'un bout profilé est prévu pour crocheter tous types d'anneaux. Ce dernier se glisse sous l'anneau à la place de l'ongle et en basculant l'ouvre boîte par un mouvement arrière l'anneau se soulève et défonce le couvercle dans le sens initialement prévu1) The advantage of this invention is that a profiled end is provided for hooking all types of rings. The latter slides under the ring in place of the nail and by tilting the can opener by a backward movement the ring lifts and smashes the cover in the direction originally intended
2) L'appui exercé par l'ouvre boîte sur le couvercle ne nécessite pas un maintien ferme de la boîte car il n'y a aucune traction inverse sur celle ci supprimant les risques de blessures par le couvercle2) The support exerted by the can opener on the cover does not require a firm hold of the box because there is no reverse traction on the latter eliminating the risk of injury by the cover
3) L'intérêt de l'ouvre boîte élimine le phénomène de traction effectué par le doigt car celui ci a été étudié de façon à soulever le couvercle par enroulement tout en prenant appui dessus 4) La traction inverse n'existant plus par le principe d'enroulement effectuée par le corps circulaire élimine le risque d'échappement de la boîte par un appui constant sur celle ci3) The advantage of the can opener eliminates the pulling phenomenon carried out by the finger because it has been studied so as to lift the cover by winding while resting on it 4) Reverse pulling no longer exists in principle winding carried out by the circular body eliminates the risk of escape from the box by constant pressing on it
5) La présente invention apporte l'intérêt de pouvoir contrôler l'ouverture partielle ou totale de toutes les boîtes éliminant les risques de projection d'huile ou de sauce Les dessins annexés illustrent l'invention.5) The present invention brings the advantage of being able to control the partial or total opening of all the boxes eliminating the risks of oil or sauce projection The accompanying drawings illustrate the invention.
En référence à ces dessins l'ouvre boîte se définit ainsi.With reference to these drawings, the can opener is defined as follows.
L'extrémité (1) du manche (2) à une forme arrondie afin de permettre une rotation douce dans la paume de la main durant le mouvement de bascule de l'ouvre boîte vers l'arrière.The end (1) of the handle (2) has a rounded shape in order to allow a gentle rotation in the palm of the hand during the rocking movement of the can opener towards the rear.
L'extrémité (1) du manche (2) est pourvue d'un trou afin de pouvoir suspendre l'ouvre boîte.The end (1) of the handle (2) is provided with a hole so that the can opener can be suspended.
L'autre partie du manche (2) en forme courbe se termine en butée sur le corps circulaire (4). Le corps circulaire (4) dont la circonférence a été étudiée afin d'ouvrir en totalité toutes les boîtes équipées d'un anneau de la plus petite à la plus grande actuellement sur le marché.The other part of the handle (2) in curved shape ends in abutment on the circular body (4). The circular body (4) whose circumference has been studied in order to fully open all the boxes fitted with a ring from the smallest to the largest currently on the market.
La largeur du corps circulaire (4) permet un appui suffisamment stable afin d'éviter à l'ouvre boîte de glisser lors de son utilisation. Ce corps circulaire (4) part du manche (2) pour se terminer par un bout profilé (5) étudié pour se glisser dans tous types d'anneaux.The width of the circular body (4) allows a sufficiently stable support to prevent the can opener from slipping during use. This circular body (4) starts from the handle (2) to end with a profiled end (5) designed to slip into all types of rings.
La partie courbe du manche (2) sert de renfort pour la partie circulaire (4) et de butée (3) pour l'anneau.The curved part of the handle (2) serves as reinforcement for the circular part (4) and as a stop (3) for the ring.
Le manche (2) situé dans l'axe du corps circulaire (4) permet d'obtenir un bon appui sur la boîte et une amplitude à l'enroulement.The handle (2) located in the axis of the circular body (4) provides good support on the box and an amplitude for winding.
L'invention concerne toutes personnes désirant ouvrir des boîtes de conserves possédant un anneau.The invention relates to all persons wishing to open cans having a ring.
La fabrication de l'ouvre boîte peut-être réalisée de diverses formes, et dimensions en différents matériaux et association de matériaux, ainsi que de toutes couleurs tout en gardant la même utilité et les mêmes fonctions. The manufacture of the can opener can be made of various shapes, and dimensions in different materials and combination of materials, as well as in all colors while keeping the same utility and the same functions.
