Description

La présente demande de brevet d'invention concerne un "TIRE-BOUCHON" selon le préambule de la revendication 1.The present patent application concerns a corkscrew" according to the preamble of claim 1.

Du brevet DE-U-9304161 on connaít un tel tire-bouchon qui comprend un manche pourvu d'une lame de canif, d'une vrille, et d'un élément d'appui. L'élément d'appui du tire-bouchon décrit comprend aussi une pièce d'appui additionnelle qui peut se déplier en tournant autour du pivot jusqu'à se placer sur le talon. La pièce d'appui est dotée d'un échelon courbé pour s'adapter au cou de la bouteille en offrant une double action de levier pendant l'extraction du bouchon. Le manche et la vrille peuvent se lever plus haut sans avoir à tourner de nouveau le tire-bouchon.DE-U-9304161 patent we know such a corkscrew which includes a handle with a penknife blade, a twist, and a support element. The element support for the described corkscrew also includes a part additional support which can be unfolded by turning around the pivot until it is placed on the heel. The room support has a curved rung to adapt to the neck of the bottle offering a double action of lever during plug extraction. The handle and the spin can get higher without having to turn again the corkscrew.

Il existe sur le marché, et ils peuvent donc être considérés comme un état de la technique, des tire-bouchons tels que ceux qui sont décrits et revendiqués par le modèle d utilité nº 260.177, du même titulaire, relatif à un tire-bouchon de type classique, communément dénommé "de sommelier", qui comprend une poignée métallique dont la ligne est une section en U et dont l'une des extrémités articulée est dotée d'un bras repliable, également en section en U, disposé pour s'appuyer sur le goulot de la bouteille, en un point intermédiaire de cette poignée l'on a appliqué la vrille classique qui adopte soit une position de travail, dans laquelle celle-ci dépasse en sens orthogonal, soit une position de repos, dans laquelle elle est repliée contre le manche.There are on the market, so they can be considered a state of the art, corkscrews such as those described and claimed by utility model no. 260.177, by the same owner, relating to a conventional type corkscrew, commonly called "sommelier", which includes a handle metallic whose line is a U-shaped section and whose one of the articulated ends has an arm foldable, also in U-shaped section, arranged for lean on the neck of the bottle, at an intermediate point of this handle we have applied the classic spin which takes either a position of work, in which it protrudes in direction orthogonal, i.e. a rest position, in which it is folded against the handle.

Pour compléter ce qui précède, ce tire-bouchon inclut une petite lame de canif, articulée à l'extrémité opposée de la poignée, destinée à faciliter les opérations de déplombage et de décapsulage ; sur l'extrémité opposée est monté un décapsuleur de capsules à sertir avec une paire d'encoches latérales égales et placées face à face, dotées d'une forme appropriée, prévues sur le bras repliable et qui rendent possible leur utilisation spécifique. Ce modèle d'utilité a amélioré les dénommés tire-bouchons de sommelier dans le sens qu'il prévoit un corps en matière plastique analogue, doté de caractéristiques d'élasticité, obtenu dans un processus entièrement indépendant et qui se trouve en position de s'emboíter et de s'ajuster sur ladite poignée, permettant le libre jeu des éléments qui sont articulés sur celle-ci, se fixant en position par le biais des mêmes rivets transversaux.To complement the above, this corkscrew includes a small pocket knife, hinged at the opposite end of the handle, intended to facilitate the operations of sealing and uncapping; on the opposite end is mounted a bottle cap crimper with a pair of equal side notches and placed facing face, with an appropriate shape, provided on the arm foldable and which make their use possible specific. This utility model has improved the so-called sommelier corkscrews in the sense that it provides a similar plastic body with elasticity characteristics, obtained in a process fully independent and located in the position of fit and fit onto said handle, allowing the free play of the elements which are articulated on it, fixing in position using the same rivets transverse.

Ensuite, également du même titulaire, le modèle d'utilité nº 8901047 a été présenté par "disposition perfectionnée applicable à des tire-bouchons", dont les améliorations se fondent essentiellement sur le fait de fermer complètement la partie postérieure de la gaine en limitant l'extension de l'ouverture longitudinale que celle-ci présente, et en éliminant les orifices correspondant à la position des axes de deux des éléments articulés que possède l'ustensile: le bras repliable et la lame du canif.Then, also from the same owner, the model Tool No. 8901047 has been presented by "disposition applicable to corkscrews ", the improvements are mainly based on the fact of completely close the rear part of the sheath limiting the extension of the longitudinal opening that this presents, and eliminating the orifices corresponding to the position of the axes of two of the elements articulated that the utensil has: the folding arm and the knife blade.

L'utilisation et la vente desdits tire-bouchons protégés par lesdits modèles d'utilité a démontré que, dans certaines circonstances, le travail combiné du tire-bouchon et du bras repliable doté d'une section en U, laquelle présente sur ses branches latérales des échancrures aux extrémités placées face à face et aptes à faciliter l'appui sur le goulot de la bouteille, n'est pas approprié pour l'extraction dudit goulot de bouchons dont la longueur dépasse la taille standard, ce qui fait que la vrille travaille en position inclinée et que, lorsque ce bouchon se trouve avec la moitié de sa longueur hors du goulot, la pièce métallique appuyée sur son extrémité cesse de remplir le rôle de levier par manque de longueur et il est alors nécessaire d'achever d'extraire la longueur du bouchon encore située à l'intérieur du goulot en appliquant une force démesurée sans aucun type d'appui sur le goulot, ce qui entraíne dans certains cas la cassure du bouchon ou la sortie intempestive de celui-ci et le renversement d'une partie du liquide contenu à l'intérieur de la bouteille.The use and sale of said corkscrews protected by said utility models has demonstrated that, in certain circumstances the combined work of the corkscrew and the folding arm with a U-shaped section, which has on its lateral branches notches at the ends placed face to face and suitable to facilitate pressing on the neck of the bottle, is not suitable for extracting said bottleneck the length of which exceeds the standard size, which makes that the spin works in an inclined position and that, when this plug is with half of its length out of the neck, the metal piece supported on its end ceases to fulfill the role of leverage by lack of length and it is then necessary to complete extract the length of the plug still located at inside the neck by applying excessive force without any type of support on the neck, which results in some cases the breakage of the plug or the outlet untimely of it and the overthrow of part of the liquid inside the bottle.

Ainsi, l'extraction de ce type de bouchons de grande longueur s'avère difficile avec les tire-bouchons conventionnels par manque de longueur du bras repliable susmentionné, qui fonctionne comme levier pour le corps du tire-bouchon.So extracting this type of large plugs length is difficult with corkscrews conventional by lack of length of the folding arm mentioned above, which functions as a lever for the body of the corkscrew.

Pour résoudre ce type de problèmes, et afin de faire en sorte qu'un seul tire-bouchon permette de travailler sur des bouchons de différentes longueurs, l'on a créé ce qui fait l'objet de la présente invention. Il s'agit d'un tire-bouchon de type sommelier, tel que défini dans la revendication 1, présentant un corps, métallique de préférence, faisant office de manche et comprenant une lame de canif articulée autour d'un rivet introduit dans un logement, une vrille articulée autour d'un rivet fixé dans un logement et un premier bras d'appui repliable pivotant autour d'une goupille passant par un trou dudit corps, ledit corps étant recouvert d'une gaine présentant une canelure servant de décapsuleur à sa partie supérieure, sa partie inférieure étant en majorité fermée, le bras d'appui repliable ayant un profile en U, formé d'une base plane de laquelle s'étendent perpendiculairement des ailes, la base se terminant par une canelure en regard de l'extrémité du manche à laquelle le bras est articulé; le tire-bouchon étant caractérisé par un second bras d'appui de configuration identique au premier mais d'une moindre largeur que la base et muni d'un renfoncement longitudinal pouvant coulisser à l'intérieur du premier bras, l'extremité du corps portant le premier bras d'appui présentant un profil tel que lors de la rotation du manche par rapport au bras d'appui pendant le mouvement d'extraction d'un bouchon, ladite extrémité coopère avec le bord du second bras situé en regard et oblige ce dernier à coulisser dans le premier bras d'appui, augmentant ainsi la longeur totale du bras d'appui du tire-bouchon. Le bras dispose d'une rainure sur la base pour l'emboítement d'un rivet guidant à 1 intérieur de la pièce metallique extérieure. A la base du levier sur laquelle une ligne de renfoncement a été disposée, un ressort a été placé qui, dans la position du bras d'appui correspond à l'allongement minimal se trouve comprimé, cependant que dans la position d'élongation maximale il se trouve entièrement dilaté. L'une des extrémités du ressort est en contact avec la butée du renfoncement, cependant que l'autre extrémité exerce une pression sur l'onglet du bras.To solve these types of problems, and to do so that only one corkscrew can work on caps of different lengths, we created this which is the subject of the present invention. It is a sommelier type corkscrew, as defined in claim 1, having a body, preferably metallic, serving as a handle and comprising a knife blade articulated around a rivet introduced into a housing, a spin articulated around a rivet fixed in a housing and a first arm folding support pivoting around a passing pin through a hole in said body, said body being covered a sheath having a groove serving as bottle opener at its upper part, its lower part being mostly closed, the folding support arm having a U-shaped profile, formed by a flat base from which extend perpendicularly from the wings, the base ending with a groove opposite the end of the handle at which the arm is articulated; the corkscrew being characterized by a second configuration support arm identical to the first but of less width than the base and provided with a longitudinal recess which can slide inside the first arm, the end of the body carrying the first support arm having a profile such as when the handle is rotated relative to the arm support during the extraction movement of a plug, said end cooperates with the edge of the second arm located opposite and forces it to slide in the first support arm, thus increasing the length of the corkscrew support arm. The arm has a groove on the base for fitting a rivet guiding 1 interior of the exterior metal part. Basically lever on which a recess line has been arranged, a spring was placed which, in the position of the support arm corresponds to the elongation minimal is compressed, however that in the maximum elongation position it lies entirely dilated. One end of the spring is in contact with the recess stop, while the other end exerts pressure on the tab of the arm.

Dans l'une des réalisations préférées de ce qui fait l'objet de la présente demande, et comme le montre la figure nº 1, le tire-bouchon (10) présente de façon connue une lame de canif (12) dans la partie supérieure du corps moulé (11), lequel dispose d'une zone vide (18) pour pouvoir ranger cette lame (12) en position de repos, cependant que sur la partie opposée de ce corps (11) se trouve la vrille (13) qui, en position de rangement, est logée à l'intérieur d'une vaste zone fermée (11a) qui s'achève sur le point extrême (19). À l'extrémité opposée de (11) se trouve le bras d'appui repliable (15') qui est articulé avec (11) par le biais d'un rivet (16), le bras (15') disposant d'un autre bras (15) pratiquement de même forme et de moindre largeur et qui coulisse à l'intérieur du premier bras (15').In one of the favorite achievements of what makes the subject of this application, and as shown in the Figure 1, the corkscrew (10) presents known a penknife blade (12) in the upper part of the body molded (11), which has an empty area (18) for being able to store this blade (12) in the rest position, however that on the opposite part of this body (11) is finds the twist (13) which, in the storage position, is housed inside a large closed area (11a) which ends at the extreme point (19).

Le bras (15') qui abrite le bras (15) permet à ce dernier de coulisser dans le bras (15') et à l'intérieur de celui-ci grâce à un rivet (26) qui solidarise (15) à (15') à l'aide de la rainure (15a), voir les figures nº 8, 9 et 10. La base (15'a) de (15') comporte une canelure (15'c). Le déploiement de (15) apparaissant par l'extrémité libre de (15'), l'on parvient à faire coulisser l'extrémité (29) de (15), voir les figures nº 7 et 12, par l'action de l'extrémité (28) de la gaine (11) et lors du mouvement d'extraction d'un bouchon.The arm (15 ') which houses the arm (15) allows the latter to slide in the arm (15 ') and the interior thereof by means of a rivet (26) which secures (15) to (15 ') using the groove (15a), see figures 8, 9 and 10. The base (15'a) of (15 ') has a groove (15'c). The deployment of (15) appearing through the free end of (15 '), we manage to slide the end (29) from (15), see Figures 7 and 12, by the action of the end (28) of the sheath (11) and during movement plug extraction.

Dans des conditions de travail normales, lorsqu'on désire extraire un bouchon (34) de l'intérieur du cou (33) d'une bouteille conventionnelle aux dimensions standards, on travaille d'une façon connue avec la pièce (15) entièrement logée et rangée à l'intérieur de (15'), cependant lorsqu'il s'agit d'un bouchon (34) d'une longueur supérieure l'on provoque par une simple pression du bord (28) sur l'extrémité (29) de (15) et avec la collaboration du rivet (26) et de la rainure (15a) un accroissement de la longueur de (15'), (15) sortant de son intérieur et provoquant une plus grande longueur de bras de levier pour compenser le plus long parcours de la vrille (13), tout cela s'effectuant de façon progressive et entraínant ainsi le dénommé "effet double", c'est-à-dire qu'avec un même tire-bouchon il est possible d'extraire les bouchons de mesures standards et d'autres de plus grande longueur que les premiers ; en définitive, l'on a réunit sur un même tire-bouchon deux effets complémentaires, un premier effet étant que la pièce (15) se trouve rangée à l'intérieur de (15') et (15') s'appuie sur le goulot (32) par le biais des échancrures (17) et un second effet étant que la pièce (15) se déplace de l'intérieur de (15') vers l'extérieur à l'aide du ressort (30), le tout représentant une façon de disposer d'une longueur supplémentaire de bras de levier, pour compenser la plus grande longueur du bouchon (34) à extraire.Under normal working conditions, when want to extract a plug (34) from the inside of the neck (33) of a conventional bottle with standard dimensions, we work in a known way with the part (15) fully housed and stored inside (15 '), however when it is a plug (34) of greater length is caused by a simple pressure of the edge (28) on the end (29) of (15) and with the collaboration of the rivet (26) and the groove (15a) an increase in the length of (15 '), (15) leaving its interior and causing a greater leverage for compensate for the longest course of the spin (13), while this is done gradually and training thus the so-called "double effect", that is to say that with a same corkscrew it is possible to extract the corks standard measures and others of greater length than the former; in the end, we gathered on a same corkscrew two complementary effects, a first effect being that the part (15) is stored at the interior of (15 ') and (15') rests on the neck (32) through the notches (17) and a second effect being that the part (15) moves from the inside of (15 ') outwards using the spring (30), all representing a way to have a length additional lever arm, to compensate for the most long length of the plug (34) to be extracted.

Les autres éléments qui forment le tire-bouchon (10) et qui ont été décrits sur la figure nº 1 présentent les mêmes fonctions que sur les modèles précédents de tire-bouchon du même titulaire.The other elements that form the corkscrew (10) and which have been described in Figure 1 present the same functions as on previous models of corkscrew of the same holder.

Comme le montre la figure nº 2, la gaine (11) se présente comme une forme connue dont la configuration est sensiblement en U, et comme on peut le voir sur la figure no 3, munie d'ailes aux extrémités desquelles se trouvent des rebords placés face à face (23), cependant que dans la partie supérieure une zone vide (18) est délimitée afin que la lame de canif (12) puisse demeurer dissimulée et protégée par la gaine (11).As shown in Figure 2, the sheath (11) is presents as a known form whose configuration is substantially U-shaped, and as can be seen in the figure no 3, with wings at the ends of which are ledges placed face to face (23), while in the upper part an empty area (18) is delimited so that the penknife blade (12) can remain hidden and protected by the sheath (11).

Sur la partie supérieure de la gaine (11) se trouve une cannelure (14), voir figure no 1, ce qui permet au tire-bouchon (10) de travailler dans les fonctions de décapsuleur, appuyant le tire-bouchon (10) dans la zone de (14) et tenant lieu de levier sur la capsule à sertir, en emboítant les bords de la cannelure (14) ; cela entraíne un effet bénéfique car le tire-bouchon pourra travailler de sorte que l'usager n'ait besoin que d'une seule main.On the upper part of the sheath (11) is a groove (14), see Figure 1, which allows the corkscrew (10) to work in functions bottle opener, pressing the corkscrew (10) in the area of (14) and taking the place lever on the crimp cap, fitting the edges groove (14); this has a beneficial effect because the corkscrew can work so that the user only needs one hand.

L'action à double effet du tire-bouchon (10) est à la fois à effet progressif, c'est-à-dire que, comme l'indiquent les figures nº 11 et 12, il demeure non seulement circonscrit à deux types de bouchons (34), mais également à ceux dont les longueurs sont intermédiaires, la longueur du bras repliable s adaptant à la longueur des bouchons.The double-acting action of the corkscrew (10) is both with progressive effect, that is to say, as as shown in Figures 11 and 12, it remains only limited to two types of plugs (34), but also to those whose lengths are intermediate, the length of the folding arm adapts to the length the traffic jam.

Tel que le montre la figure nº 4, le tire-bouchon (10) comprend dans sa forme connue un corps (20) doté des trous (18), (21) et (22): les axes passant par ces trous permettant le déploiment du bras (15'), de la vrille (13) et de la lame (12).As shown in Figure 4, the corkscrew (10) comprises in its known form a body (20) provided with holes (18), (21) and (22): the axes passing through these holes allowing the deployment of the arm (15 '), of the spin (13) and the blade (12).

Le présent brevet d'invention ayant été suffisamment décrit en correspondance avec les plans ci-joints, il est entendu que toutes modifications de détail jugées opportunes pourront être introduites sur ceux-ci, à la condition de ne pas altérer l'invention qui se trouve définie dans les revendications.The present invention patent having been sufficiently described in correspondence with the attached plans it is understood that all modifications of detail judged may be introduced on these, at the condition not to alter the invention which is is defined in the claims.
