Definitions
- the present specification refers to an improved corkscrew, whose obvious utility lies in being configured as a device capable of removing the cork stopper that seals the mouth of a conventional bottle.
- the invention which has a conventional helical element that is introduced by means of a rotation in the cork, has two differentiated supports, which allow, when printing a vertical force on the handle of the invention, the ascending vertical force generated by the assembly, and that it extracts the cork, it is carried out, in all its trajectory, according to a substantially vertical direction, avoiding the oblique forces that are made with the conventional corkscrews and that can break the corks when making their extraction.
- This invention has its application within the industry dedicated to the manufacture of elements and devices applicable in oenology, more specifically, within the industry dedicated to the manufacture of corkscrews.
- corkscrews constituted from a helical element provided with a tip at its end and that is articulated, at its opposite end, to the middle area of a handle in which, at its end a gifted body is articulated of a highlight.
- both the helical body and the element provided with a projection are articulated to the handle allows, on the one hand, to multiply the force when the assembly is configured as a lever and, on the other, that the extraction force is made of in such a way that the line of action of the same is transferred substantially parallel and in a direction perpendicular to the plane in which it defines the mouth of said bottle.
- corkscrews constituted from a plunger pump connected to a hollow needle that are capable, if the end of the water pierces the cork lengthwise, to increase the pressure in the volume delimited by the liquid that houses the bottle, this one and the cork stopper, the latter being expelled from its housing when the force exerted by the pressure on the lower face of the cork exceeds the frictional force between the side wall of the cork and the inside of the neck of the bottle.
- the exit of the cork is accompanied by a slight explosion as a result of the expansion of the air that was driving the cap, so that some users do not like it, also, the increase in pressure at the interface of the liquid can generate a increased solubility of certain gases in it, varying the organoleptic characteristics.
- the improved corkscrew that the invention proposes constitutes an obvious novelty within its field of application, allowing a cork stopper to be removed from the neck of a bottle without having to make direct tractions of it at any time and without increasing the pressure in the liquid-gas mterfase inside of it.
- the invention is constituted from a conventional helical body articulated in the middle area of a handle, which has two elements provided with articulated projections on both sides of said helical element.
- the elements provided with projections have these, in both cases, oriented towards the helical body, which is closest to the handle, which is shorter than the farthest, and the joint can be incorporated with articulated razor blades, bottle openers, can openers or the like.
- the operation with the improved corkscrew begins with the introduction of the helical body longitudinally in the cork by means of a rotation thereof facilitated by the handle, pulling later, in vertical direction and upward direction of the handle, after supporting the element provided with a protrusion of smaller length in the perimeter of the mouth of the bottle.
- the second step of the operation which concludes with the total removal of cork stopper, is performed by performing a downward vertical thrust on the handle, after supporting the protrusion of the long element in the mouth of the bottle.
- the conclusion is a two-step extraction in which, at no time should the cork stopper be directly drawn or the gas pressure in the mterfase inside the bottle is increased.
- Figure 1 shows a representation of the first step of the extraction operation of a cork stopper from its housing in a bottle, represented by point "arrow the direction of the force exerted on the handle.
- Figure number 2. Illustrates the second step of extracting a cork stopper, in which the longest element of the two that have a projection at its end is used.
- Figure number 3. Represents the result of applying an upward vertical force, shown by an arrowhead, on the handle of the invention.
- the improved corkscrew that is recommended is constituted from a helical body (1), articulated at its upper end (2) to a handle (3), to which two elements are also articulated equipped with projections at its ends (4) and (5).
- the short element provided with a projection at its end (4), is articulated at the end of the handle (3), its projection (41) being oriented towards the helical body (1), in the same way as the projection (51) of the long element with a protrusion in its end (5), which is articulated following the articulation (2) of the helical body (1).
- the short element provided with a projection at its end (4) and the long element endowed with a projection at its end (5) can be arranged parallel to the handle (3), minimizing its size, being able to incorporate the set of articulated cutting blades for Cut necklaces, can openers or conventional bottle openers.
- the assembly can have a lateral cutting blade and microdentate edge articulated to the handle.
