Description

Die Erfindung betrifft einen Korkenzieher mit einem Kopf, in dem der Schaft des mit einer Spitze versehenen wendelförmigen Einschraubteils befestigt und der mit einem diesen quer durchsetzenden Loch versehen ist, in das als Zugteil eine auf das Einschraubteil aufsetzbare hülsenförmige Schutzkappe T-förmig einsteckbar ist, und mit einem hakenförmigen Teil zum Öffnen von mit Kronenkapselverschlüssen verschlossenen Flaschen.The invention relates to a corkscrew with a head in which the shaft of the helical screw-in part provided with a tip is fastened and which is provided with a hole extending transversely therethrough, into which a sleeve-shaped protective cap which can be placed on the screw-in part can be inserted in a T-shape as a pulling part, and with a hook-shaped part for opening bottles sealed with crown caps.

Korkenzieher dieser Art sind in unterschiedlichen Ausführungsformen bekannt, wobei deren Aussehen und deren einfache Handhabung jedoch durch die Art der Anordnung der hakenförmigen Teile beeinträchtigt sind.Corkscrews of this type are known in different embodiments, but their appearance and their easy handling are impaired by the type of arrangement of the hook-shaped parts.

Aufgabe der Erfindung ist es daher, einen Korkenzieher der eingangs angegebenen Art zu schaffen, der sich bei ansprechendem -Aussehen einfach handhaben läßt.The object of the invention is therefore to provide a corkscrew of the type mentioned, which can be easily handled with an attractive appearance.

Erfindungsgemäß wird diese Aufgabe dadurch gelöst, daß der Kopf in einem dem Durchmesser einen Kronenkapselverschlusses entsprechenden Abstand von seinem oberen dem Einschraubteil gegenüberliegenden Rand mit einem gegen diesen Rand gerichteten, das hakenförmige Teil bildenden Vorsprung versehen ist. Dieser etwa die Form einer Schraubenzieherspitze aufweisende Vorsprung läßt sich in formschöner Weise an dem Kopf anbringen, so daß der Korkenzieher mit aufgesetzter Schutzkappe die Form eines ansprechend gestalteten Öffners für Kronenkapselverschlüsse aufweist, ohne daß das Aussehen durch die Doppelfunktion als Korkenzieher beeinträchtigt wird.According to the invention, this object is achieved in that the head is provided at a distance corresponding to the diameter of a crown capsule closure from its upper edge opposite the screw-in part with a projection directed against this edge and forming the hook-shaped part. This projection, which has the shape of a screwdriver tip, can be attached to the head in an elegant manner, so that the corkscrew with the protective cap attached has the shape of an attractively designed opener for crown capsule closures, without the appearance being impaired by the double function as a corkscrew.

Zweckmäßigerweise ist der Kopf im Querschnitt etwa rechteckig ausgebildet und das Loch auf einer Seite schalenförmig erweitert, wobei der Durchmesser der Erweiterung etwa dem Durchmesser des Kronenkapselverschlusses entspricht und wobei der Vorsprung auf der dem Einschraubteil zugewandten Seite der Vertiefung und innerhalb von dieser angeordnet ist. Durch diese Ausgestaltung ist der hakenförmige Vorsprung geschützt in der schalenförmigen Vertiefung angeordnet, so daß eine-Verletzungsgefahr ausgeschlossen und ein unbeabsichtigtes Hängenbleiben oder Verhaken des hakenförmigen Vorsprungs an Stoffen oder anderen Gegenständen vermieden s.ind. Diese schalenförmige Vertiefung gewährleistet weiterhin, daß sich der äußere Rand des Kopfes auf dem äußeren Rand des abzuhebenden Kronenkapselverschlusses auf der gegenüberliegenden Seite des hakenförmigen Vorsprungs abstützt, so daß der Kronenkapselverschluß mit großem an diesem angreifenden Hebelarm nahezu verformungsfrei abgehoben werden kann.The cross section of the head is expediently approximately rectangular and the hole is widened in the form of a shell on one side, the diameter of the expansion corresponding approximately to the diameter of the crown capsule closure and the projection being arranged on the side of the depression facing the screw-in part and within it. With this configuration, the hook-shaped projection is arranged in a protected manner in the bowl-shaped recess, so that there is no risk of injury and unintentional snagging or snagging of the hook-shaped projection on substances or other objects is avoided. This bowl-shaped depression further ensures that the outer edge of the head is supported on the outer edge of the crown capsule closure to be lifted on the opposite side of the hook-shaped projection, so that the crown capsule closure can be lifted with a large lever arm that engages this almost without deformation.

Nach einer erfinderischen Weiterbildung ist vorgesehen, daß der Kopf auf seiner der schalenförmigen Vertiefung gegenüberliegenden Seite mit einer matrizenförmigen Vertiefung versehen ist, deren Tiefe der Höhe und deren Durchmesser dem Durchmesser des Kronenkapselverschlusses entspricht. Diese matrizenförmige Vertiefung ermöglicht es, Flaschen mit dem abgehobenen Kronenkapselverschluß wieder zu verschließen. Dieser ist lediglich auf die Flaschenöffnung aufzulegen. Anschließend wird der Kopf mit seiner matrizenförmigen Vertiefung auf den Kronenkapselverschluß aufgelegt und dieser durch einen leichten Schlag auf die mit der schalenförmigen Vertiefung versehenen Seite des Kopfes des Korkenziehers klemmend wieder an dem Öffnungsrand der Flasche befestigt., Das erneute Verschließen wird dadurch begünstigt, daß der Kronenkapselverschluß zuvor mit dem erfindungsgemäßen Korkenzieher nahezu verformungsfrei von der zu öffnenden Flasche abgehoben werden konnte.According to an inventive development, it is provided that the head is provided on its side opposite the cup-shaped recess with a matrix-shaped recess, the depth of which corresponds to the height and the diameter of the diameter of the crown capsule closure. This matrix-shaped depression makes it possible to close bottles again with the crown capsule closure lifted off. This is only to be placed on the bottle opening. The head is then placed with its matrix-shaped recess on the crown capsule closure and this is clamped by a light blow on the side of the head of the corkscrew provided with the cup-shaped recess, and is reattached to the opening edge of the bottle previously with the corkscrew according to the invention could be lifted from the openable bottle almost without deformation.

Nach einer weiteren erfinderischen Ausgestaltung ist vorgesehen, daß die Schutzkappe in ihrem oberen Bereich mit einem sich konusförmig zum Ende hin verdickenden Teil aus elastisch nachgiebigerem Material versehen ist. Dieser verdickte Teil dient als Pfropfen zum Verschluß von Flaschen aller Art, insbesondere Weinflaschen. 9According to a further inventive embodiment, it is provided that the protective cap is provided in its upper region with a part made of elastically more flexible material that thickens conically towards the end. This thickened part serves as a stopper for the closure of bottles of all kinds, especially wine bottles. 9

Die leicht konisch ausgebildete Schutzkappe kann im Bereich ihres offenen dickeren Endes mit einem zylindrischen Fortsatz versehen sein, auf den das konusförmige pfropfenartige Teil mit Preßsitz aufgeschoben ist. Dieses pfropfenartige Teil kann aus Kunststoff größerer Weichheit und Elastizität als die Schutzkappe, aus Kork oder anderen geeigneten Materialien bestehen.The slightly conical protective cap can be provided in the area of its open, thicker end with a cylindrical extension onto which the conical plug-like part is pushed with a press fit. This plug-like part can consist of plastic of greater softness and elasticity than the protective cap, of cork or other suitable materials.

Zweckmäßigerweise ist der aus Kunststoff bestehende Kopf auf den Schaft des Schraubteils aufgespritzt. Der Kopf kann auch aus einem Zinkdruckgußteil bestehen.The plastic head is expediently sprayed onto the shaft of the screw part. The head can also consist of a zinc die-cast part.

Der hakenförmige Vorsprung wird zweckmäßigerweise durch das schraubenzieherspitzenartig abgeplattete Ende des Schaftes gebildet. Der Kopf selbst kann in Draufsicht etwa tropfenförmig ausgebildet sein, was diesem ein ansprechendes Aussehen verleiht.The hook-shaped projection is expediently formed by the end of the shaft which is flattened like a screwdriver tip. The head itself can be approximately teardrop-shaped in plan view, which gives it an attractive appearance.

Nach einer weiteren Ausgestaltung der Erfindung ist vorgesehen, daß die matrizenförmige Vertiefung.im Kopf des Korkenziehers im äußeren Bereich ihrer Wandung mit im Abstand voneinander angeordneten nutenförmigen Vertiefungen versehen sind, die in etwa komplementär zu dem Profil von Kronenkapseldrehverschlüssen sind. Insbesondere in den USA sind Kronenkapselverschlüsse gebräuchlich, die durch Druck an mit Gewinden versehene Flaschen- öffnungen angeformt werden. Derartige Flaschen werden durch Drehen dieser Kronenkapseldrehverschlüsse geöffnet. Dieses Drehen ist jedoch häufig mit einem erheblichen Kraftaufwand verbunden, so daß der erfindungsgemäß in seiner matrizenförmigen Vertiefung mit Nuten versehene Korkenzieher gleichsam als Schraubenschlüssel zum Öffnen derartiger Kronenkapseldrehverschlüsse verwendetwerden kann.According to a further embodiment of the invention, it is provided that the matrix-shaped depression in the head of the corkscrew in the outer region of its wall is provided with groove-shaped depressions which are arranged at a distance from one another and are approximately complementary to the profile of crown capsule fasteners. In the USA in particular, crown capsule closures are used, which are formed by pressure on threaded bottle openings. Such bottles are opened by turning these crown capsule closures. However, this turning is often associated with considerable expenditure of force, so that the corkscrew provided with grooves according to the invention in its matrix-shaped recess can be used as a wrench for opening such crown capsule screw closures.
