Definitions
- the present invention relates to an apparatus intended to open various containers such as boxes, metal cans and the like, provided with a closure system comprising a tab, a disc or other detachable element.
- Beverage boxes and other products are commonly provided with a closure system comprising a detachable element and a ring fixed flat on the detachable element in order to facilitate the tearing off of this detachable element with the fingers. Gripping such a ring with the fingers is usually difficult and often results in injury to the consumer's fingers.
- the present invention overcomes the drawbacks of the known instruments used to open the boxes comprising a detachable element provided with a gripping ring. To this end, it offers a small compact device intended to facilitate the removal of the detachable element from the boxes of the aforementioned kind in a single movement of the hand.
- the apparatus comprises an elongated arm having one end forming a beak, and a lug which projects on one face of the arm.
- the lug extends practically along the longitudinal axis of the arm away from the surface of the arm as the point considered is further away from the aforementioned beak. In this way, when the arm is placed with the lug turned towards the detachable element of a box, the lug can slip into the ring secured to the detachable element from above and thus hang this ring.
- the consumer sets up the device so that the lug is slipped into the ring and he simply swivels the arm upwards. During this movement, the lug drives the ring by rotating it upwards while the spout presses on the detachable element and thus opens the box. The opening of the box is thus done in a single movement of the hand and without risk of injury to the fingers for the consumer.
- the device can be easily made of any resistant material, for example metal, plastic or other.
- the contour of the arm can be arbitrary, but it is preferably chosen so as to facilitate handling.
- the edge of the lug is bevelled or thinned, which facilitates the insertion of the lug into the grip ring.
- An advantageous embodiment consists in forming the lug of a part with the arm.
- the lug is delimited by a cut formed in the arm, the cut separating the edge of the lug from the rest of the arm.
- the lug can be formed by deformation of the demarcated part by cutting.
- Figure 1 is a plan view of an exemplary embodiment of the apparatus according to the invention.
- Figure 2 shows a longitudinal section through the apparatus of Figure 1;
- Figure 3 shows the apparatus of Figure 1 placed on a beverage can
- Figure 4 illustrates the action of the apparatus of Figure 1 for opening the box
- FIG. 5 illustrates an alternative embodiment of the device of FIG. 1.
- the apparatus 10 comprises an arm 11, of elongated shape, which has one end forming a spout 12.
- the contour of the arm can be arbitrary.
- the arm is flat.
- the arm has a lug 13 which protrudes from the underside 15 of the arm 11 and extends practically along the longitudinal axis of the arm 11 with an inclined orientation relative to said underside of the arm .
- the inclined orientation is such that the lug 13 moves away from the face 15 of the arm 11 as the point considered is further away from the spout 12.
- the lug 13 is formed in the arm 11 and its edge is delimited by a cutout 16 which separates it from the rest of the arm.
- the edge 17 of the lug 13 is preferably bevelled or thinned.
- the cutout 16 is formed at a distance from the spout 12 which is shorter than the distance between the cutout from the opposite end 14 of the arm.
- FIGS. 3 and 4 The use of the apparatus according to the invention is illustrated by FIGS. 3 and 4.
- a beverage can 20 for example, comprising a detachable element 22 provided with a gripping ring 21
- the user takes the arm 11 by its end 14 which is opposite the end forming the spout 12 and slides the lug 13 in the ring 21 from above ( Figure 3).
- the lug 13 drives the ring 21 in an upward pivoting movement while the spout 12 presses on the detachable element 22, tears it off and tilts it towards the inside of the box.
- the opening of a box provided with a closure system with a detachable element is thus very easily done in a single movement of the hand, and this without risking injuring the user with his fingers.
- the edge 17 of the lug is advantageously bevelled or thinned, which facilitates the passage of the lug in the grip ring 21 of the detachable element of a box of this kind.
- the device described above can be produced in various forms offering good grip of the arm and / or having an attractive appearance.
- the arm 11 of the device can have an appendage of any shape and / or profile.
- FIG. 5 illustrates an exemplary embodiment in which appendix 18 forms a three-dimensional figurine.
