Description

Die Erfindung bezieht sich auf einen Zangendosenöffner gemäß dem Oberbegriff des Anspruchs 1.The invention relates to a plier can opener according to the preamble of claim 1.

Bei der bekannten Ausführungsform dieser Art gemäß der deutschen Patentschriften 28 02 172 und 28 43 442 bestehen die Nachteile, daß durch die Halterung der Lagerbuchse aus Kunststoff ein Kragen aus dem Vorschubarm herausgedrückt werden muß. Dies bedingt zur Herstellung eine besondere, hochwertige Stahlqualität, die sich tiefziehen läßt. Dennoch besteht immer die Gefahr, daß der Rand des Kragens reißt und scharfkantige Spitzen bildet. Des weiteren hat es sich gezeigt, daß die Befestigung der Griffe sich beim Gebrauch lockern. Es kommt zudem hinzu, daß diese Griffe nicht mehr den heutigen ästhetischen Empfindungen entsprechen.In the known embodiment of this type according to the German patents 28 02 172 and 28 43 442 there are the disadvantages that a collar must be pressed out of the feed arm by the mounting of the plastic bearing bush. This necessitates a special, high-quality steel quality for manufacture, which can be deep-drawn. However, there is always a risk that the edge of the collar will tear and form sharp-edged tips. Furthermore, it has been shown that the attachment of the handles loosen during use. In addition, these handles no longer correspond to today's aesthetic sensations.

Der Erfindung liegt daher die Aufgabe zugrunde, bei Vermeidung der angeführten Mängel einen Zangendosenöffner der gattungsgemäßen Art zu schaffen, bei dem die Griffe bei gutem Sitz designmäßig gestaltet sind, bei dem eine sichere Lagerung des Drehgriffes im Vorschubarm gewährleistet ist und bei dem keine hohen Anforderungen an die Stahlqualität der Metallhebel gestellt werden.The invention is therefore based on the object to avoid a pliers can opener of the generic type, in which the handles are designed with a good fit, in which a secure storage of the twist grip is guaranteed in the feed arm and in which no high demands are placed on avoiding the deficiencies mentioned the steel quality of the metal levers.

Diese Aufgabe wird erfindungsgemäß mit den kennzeichnenden Merkmalen des Anspruchs 1 gelöst. Durch die Verwendung von zweiteiligen Griffschalen mit angeformter Lagerbuchse, die wiederum von der zweiten Griffschale mitgehalten wird, ist eine äußerst stabile Lagerung des Drehgriffes gewährleistet.This object is achieved with the characterizing features of claim 1. The use of two-part handle shells with molded bearing bush, which in turn is held by the second handle shell, ensures an extremely stable mounting of the rotary handle.

Für die designmäßige Gestaltung besteht ein großer Freiraum, dennoch sind die Griffschalen sicher auf den Metallhebeln gehalten.There is a lot of free space for the design, but the grips are held securely on the metal levers.

Weitere Ausgestaltungen der Erfindung sind den Unteransprüchen zu entnehmen. So ist durch die gewählte Verrastung der beiden Griffschalen ein sehr paßgenauer, sicherer Sitz auf den Metallhebeln gewährleistet. Ein Lösen oder auch nur ein axiales Verrutschen wird durch die einhakenden federnd ausgebildeten Haken sicher verhindert. Das Anbringen der ösen am Ende der Griffschalen ermöglicht zu dem ein griffgünstiges Aufbewahren an einem Haken und sie die neu als Abstandshalter der beiden Griffe. Durch die überlappende Ausbildung der ösen werden die Griffe beim Aufhängen sicher zusammengehalten und sie schützen bei Betätigen des Zangendosenöffners den Handballen vorm Einklemmen.Further refinements of the invention can be found in the subclaims. The selected locking of the two handle scales ensures a very precise, secure fit on the metal levers. A loosening or even an axial slipping is reliably prevented by the hooked, spring-shaped hooks. The attachment of the eyelets at the end of the handle scales also allows easy storage on a hook and they are now used as spacers for the two handles. Due to the overlapping design of the eyelets, the handles are securely held together when they are hung up and protect the heel of the hand from being pinched when the pliers can opener is actuated.

Der dem Ausführungsbeispiel zugrunde gelegte Zangendosenöffner besteht aus zwei Metallhebeln 11 und 12, die durch einen verdeckt angeordneten Gelenkbolzen 13 miteinander verbunden sind. Der obere Abschnitt des einen Hebels 11 ist als Vorschubarm 14 ausgebildet und trägt ein mit Zähnen besetztes Vorschubrad 15. Über dem Vorschubrad 15, welches durch einen Drehgriff 16 bewegt werden kann, ist ein Zahnrad 17 angeordnet. Der Drehgriff 16 sitzt auf einem Gewindebolzen 20, der in einer Lagerbuchse 21 geführt ist und sowohl das Zahnrad 17 als auch das Vorschubrad 15 drehfest aufnimmt. Der Drehgriff 16 ist aus Kunststoff gefertigt und fest mit dem Gewindebolzen 20 verbunden.The pliers can opener on which the exemplary embodiment is based consists of two metal levers 11 and 12 which are connected to one another by a concealed articulated bolt 13. The upper section of the one lever 11 is designed as a feed arm 14 and carries a feed wheel 15 with teeth. A gear wheel 17 is arranged above the feed wheel 15, which can be moved by a turning handle 16. The twist grip 16 sits on a threaded bolt 20 which is guided in a bearing bush 21 and receives both the gear 17 and the feed wheel 15 in a rotationally fixed manner. The twist grip 16 is made of plastic and is firmly connected to the threaded bolt 20.

Der zweite Hebel 12 ist an seinem oberen Ende als Schneidarm 31 ausgebildet. An ihm sitzt an einem schräg aus dem Schneidarm 31 herausgedrückten, pyramidenförmigen Lager 32 ein Nietbolzen 33, der unter Zwischenschaltung einer Scheibe 34 ein Zahnrad 35 und ein Schneidrad 36 drehbeweglich aufnimmt.The second lever 12 is designed as a cutting arm 31 at its upper end. A rivet bolt 33 is seated on a pyramid-shaped bearing 32 which is pushed out obliquely from the cutting arm 31 and which, with the interposition of a disk 34, rotatably receives a gear wheel 35 and a cutting wheel 36.

Die beiden Zahnräder 17 und 35 stehen im Eingriff miteinander, so daß die von einer Bedienungsperson mit Hilfe des Drehgriffs 16 erzeugte Drehbewegung auf das Schneidrad 36 übertragen wird. Die unteren Enden 37 und 38 der Hebel 11 und 12 sind nach außen abgewinkelt und mit Griffen 39 und 40 bestückt.The two gears 17 and 35 are in engagement with one another, so that the rotary movement generated by an operator with the help of the rotary handle 16 is transmitted to the cutting wheel 36. The lower ends 37 and 38 of the levers 11 and 12 are angled outwards and equipped with handles 39 and 40.

Der Griff 39 besteht aus einer oberen Griffschale 18 und einer unteren Griffschale 19. Der Griff 40 besteht ebenfalls aus einer oberen und unteren Griffschale, die aber etwas kürzer sind und nur bis zum Beginn des Schneidarms 31 reichen.The handle 39 consists of an upper handle 18 and a lower handle 19. The handle 40 also consists of an upper and lower handle, which are somewhat shorter and only extend to the beginning of the cutting arm 31.

Die obere Griffschale setzt sich scheibenförmig bis über den Gelenkbolzen 13 des Vorschubarmes 14 fort und hat eine Anschlagplatte 24 angeformt. Nach innen ist die Lagerbuchse 21 angeformt. Die Anschlagplatte 24 und die Lagerbuchse 21 sind also über eine Bodenplatte 23 einstückig mit der oberen Griffschale 18 ausgeführt.The upper handle shell continues in a disc shape up to the hinge pin 13 of the feed arm 14 and has a stop plate 24 formed thereon. The bearing bush 21 is integrally formed on the inside. The stop plate 24 and the bearing bush 21 are thus made in one piece with the upper handle 18 via a base plate 23.

Die obere Griffschale 18 ist mit der unteren Griffschale 19 unnter Einschluß des Metallhebels 11 verrastet. Die untere Griffschale ist analog zur Bodenplatte 23 mit einer Abdeckplatte 26 versehen. Diese Abdeckplatte 26 hat eine Öffnung 27, in die die Lagerbuchse 21 einrastet. Die Lagerbuchse 21 hat in ihrem hinteren Bereich 28 zwei Abflachungen 29 die Querschnittsverengungen 30 der Öffnung 27 entsprechen. Parallel zu den Querschnittsverengungen 30 liegen zwei Schlitze 41 die zwei Schnappstege 42 bilden.The upper grip 18 is locked with the lower grip 19 without the inclusion of the metal lever 11. The lower grip shell is provided with a cover plate 26 analogous to the base plate 23. This cover plate 26 has an opening 27 into which the bearing bush 21 engages. The bearing bush 21 has two flattened portions 29 in its rear region 28, which correspond to cross-sectional constrictions 30 of the opening 27. Parallel to the cross-sectional constrictions 30 are two slots 41 which form two snap webs 42.

Weiter ist die untere Griffschale mit Büchsen 43 versehen, die den Metallhebel 11 in Bohrungen durchdringen und in die an der oberen Griffschale 18 befestigte Stifte 44 eingepreßt sind. Die Stifte 44 sind im vorliegenden Ausführungsbeispiel als Hohlstifte ausgeführt. Weiter sind sowohl die obere Griffschale 18 als auch die untere Griffschale 19 mit federnden Haken 45 die hinter Rechtecköffnungen 46 des Metallhebels 1 einrasten, versehen.Furthermore, the lower handle shell is provided with bushes 43 which penetrate the metal lever 11 in bores and are pressed into the pins 44 fastened to the upper handle shell 18. In the present exemplary embodiment, the pins 44 are designed as hollow pins. Furthermore, both the upper grip 18 and the lower grip 19 are provided with resilient hooks 45 which engage behind rectangular openings 46 in the metal lever 1.

Der Griff 40 ist ebenfalls aus einer oberen Griffschale 47 und einer unteren Griffschale 48 mit entsprechenden Büchsen 43, Stifte 44 und Haken 45 aufgebaut. Der Metallhebel 12 hat ebenfalls Bohrungen für die Büchsen 43 sowie Rechtecköffnungen 46 für die Haken.The handle 40 is also constructed from an upper handle 47 and a lower handle 48 with corresponding bushes 43, pins 44 and hooks 45. The metal lever 12 also has holes for the sleeves 43 and rectangular openings 46 for the hooks.

Weiter ist an der unteren Griffschale 19 am Ende eine Öse 49 vorgesehen. Dieser Öse 49 liegt eine Mulde 50 in der oberen Griffschale 47 gegenüber. Die untere Griffschale 48 hat am Ende ebenfalls eine Öse 49 der wiederum eine Mulde 50 in der oberen Griffschale 18 gegenüber liegt.Furthermore, an eyelet 49 is provided on the lower grip 19 at the end. This eyelet 49 is opposite a trough 50 in the upper handle 47. At the end, the lower grip 48 also has an eyelet 49, which in turn is opposite a depression 50 in the upper grip 18.
