Description

SOPORTE PARA SACACORCHOS SUPPORT FOR SACACORCHOS
fí E S C R T P C T O Nf E S C R T P C T O N
OBJETO DE LA INVENCIÓNOBJECT OF THE INVENTION
La presente invención se refiere a un soporte que ha sido especialmente concebido para que un camarero u otro profesional similar, lleve siempre consigo un sacacorchos, en condiciones de fácil y directa accesibilidad.The present invention relates to a support that has been specially designed for a waiter or other similar professional to always carry a corkscrew, under conditions of easy and direct accessibility.
Así pues, el objeto de la invención está destinado al ámbito de la hostelería y la restauración, para los profesionales que deben hacer frecuentemente uso de tal sacacorchos.Thus, the object of the invention is intended for the field of hospitality and catering, for professionals who must frequently use such a corkscrew.
ANTECEDENTES DE LAINVENCIÓNBACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
En el ámbito de los profesionales anteriormente citados, a lo largo de su jornada laboral, es frecuente la necesidad de utilizar sacacorchos, para la apertura de botellas cerradas con tapones de corcho.In the field of the aforementioned professionals, throughout their working day, the need to use corkscrews is frequent, for the opening of closed bottles with cork stoppers.
Dado que la utilización del sacacorchos no es permanente, éste se suele dejar en cualquier zona más o menos apropiada del establecimiento, generándose problemas para su posterior localización, especialmente cuando son varias las personas que hacen uso del mismo, lo que evidentemente supone una pérdida de tiempo, que a veces repercute en la calidad del servicio suministrado al consumidor. Tratando de obviar este problema es frecuente que los profesionales lleven el sacacorchos introducido en uno de sus bolsillos lo que, a pesar de que su peso y su volumen no sean excesivos, supone una notable incomodidad así como un deterioro rápido para los propios bolsillos, por la existencia de aristas y vértices vivos en el sacacorchos.Since the use of the corkscrew is not permanent, it is usually left in any more or less appropriate area of the establishment, generating problems for its subsequent location, especially when there are several people who use it, which obviously implies a loss of time, which sometimes affects the quality of the service provided to the consumer. Trying to avoid this problem, it is common for professionals to carry the corkscrew inserted in one of their pockets which, although its weight and volume are not excessive, represents a significant discomfort as well as a rapid deterioration for the pockets themselves, for the existence of sharp edges and vertices in the corkscrew.
Una solución alternativa es fijar al sacacorchos en un punto concreto de utilización, por ejemplo con la colaboración de una cuerda o cadena, pero con independencia de lo antiestético de la solución, ésta tan sólo es aplicable a determinados casos, como por ejemplo cuando la apertura de las botellas se realiza en la barra de un bar, pero no es aplicable al caso habitual en el que las botellas se abren directamente en las diferentes mesas correspondientes a los diversos comensales.An alternative solution is to fix the corkscrew at a specific point of use, for example with the collaboration of a rope or chain, but regardless of the unsightly nature of the solution, it is only applicable to certain cases, such as when opening of the bottles is made in the bar of a bar, but it is not applicable to the usual case in which the bottles open directly at the different tables corresponding to the different diners.
DESCRIPCIÓN DE LA INVENCIÓNDESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
El soporte que la invención propone resuelve de forma plenamente satisfactoria la problemática anteriormente expuesta, permitiendo que cualquier profesional de los anteriormente citados pueda llevar permanentemente consigo el sacacorchos, de una forma cómoda, sin que le suponga una molestia, sin que afecte negativamente a su ropa y en condiciones de fácil y directa accesibilidad, como ya se ha apuntado con anterioridad.The support that the invention proposes solves in a fully satisfactory way the above-mentioned problem, allowing any professional of the aforementioned to carry the corkscrew permanently, in a comfortable way, without causing a nuisance, without negatively affecting their clothes and in conditions of easy and direct accessibility, as noted above.
Para ello y de forma más concreta dicho soporte se materializa en un receptáculo alargado, capacitado para albergar en su interior el sacacorchos, con un mayor o menor ajuste, y con una longitud sensiblemente inferior a la de dicho sacacorchos, en orden a que éste emerja parcialmente del mismo y resulte fácilmente accesible con la mano del usuario.For this, and more specifically, said support is materialized in an elongated receptacle, capable of housing inside the corkscrew, with a greater or lesser adjustment, and with a length substantially less than that of said corkscrew, in order for it to emerge partially thereof and easily accessible by hand of the user.
El citado receptáculo, preferentemente de sección rectangular y de fondo redondeado, incorpora una pinza lateral, monopieza con el cuerpo constitutivo del receptáculo y destinada a la fijación del soporte en su conjunto a cualquier zona adecuada de la vestimenta del usuario, como por ejemplo a la cintura del pantalón, al cinto que asiste al mismo, a la embocadura de uno de sus bolsillos, etc, adoptando en cualquier caso dicho soporte una posición tal que su embocadura quede orientada hacia arriba, para evitar la caída accidental del sacacorchos.The aforementioned receptacle, preferably with a rectangular section and a rounded bottom, incorporates a lateral clamp, monopieza with the body constituting the receptacle and intended to fix the support as a whole to any suitable area of the user's clothing, such as the waist of the pants, to the belt that attends the same, to the mouth of one of its pockets, etc., adopting in any case said support a position such that its mouth is oriented upwards, to avoid the accidental fall of the corkscrew.
La especial configuración prevista para el soporte, además de permitir que éste cumpla su función como tal, determina el que pueda obtenerse mediante un proceso de moldeo por inyección, con la utilización de moldes sencillos, sin correderas, lo que supone a su vez que el coste de fabricación del mismo sea muy bajo y que consecuentemente pueda ser concebido como un elemento promocional, portador en su superficie externa de cualquier tipo de mensaje publicitario.The special configuration provided for the support, in addition to allowing it to fulfill its function as such, determines what can be obtained through an injection molding process, with the use of simple molds, without slides, which in turn means that the Its manufacturing cost is very low and that consequently it can be conceived as a promotional element, carrier on its external surface of any type of advertising message.
El material constitutivo del mismo, preferentemente de plástico, puede ser rígido o semirrígido, en función de que se pretenda obtener un mayor o menor grado de adaptación del sacacorchos al mismo.The constituent material thereof, preferably plastic, can be rigid or semi-rigid, depending on whether it is intended to obtain a greater or lesser degree of adaptation of the corkscrew to it.
