HOUSEHOLD TOOL Filed Oct. 16, 1929 C/WUGWW Z 40:73:? Johnson :7 My! Patented Oct. 21, 1930 wiL IAMJoHnsoN, or cn'rcseo, ILLINOIS HOUSEHOLD TOOL Application filed October 16, 1929. Serial No. 399,909.
7 This invention relates to improvement-s in household tools, and primarily to a bottle opener designed for the drawing of corks orfor the removalof crown caps from bottles,
and is also adapted to be used in the sewing up of fowl or the roasts of meat, and for other similar purposes.
The object of the invention is to so construct the tool that it may be cheaply stamped from a single sheet of comparatively thin metal and at the same time possess the necessary stiffness and rigidity to subserve the ends in view.
Other objects will appear description of the invention, in conjunction with the accompanying drawings, wherein,-
Figure 1 is a side elevation of what may be termed the front side of the tool;
Fig. 2 is a side view of the rear of the tool;
Fig. 3 is a cross sectional view taken on line 33 of Fig. 1; and v Fig. 4 is a cross seotionalview taken on line 14 of Fig. 1;
Fig. 5 is a cross sectional view taken on line 55 of Fig. 1.
The tool is stamped from a single sheet of metal, and is formed to afford a stem 10 term'inating at its lower end in a barb 11. The material at the upper end of the stem is spread which at its upper end broadens out into a loop-shaped handle 13 provided with an aperture 14, the lower edge of which is formed with a web 15 which in conjunction with the upper edge 16 serves to afford means for the prying oif of crown caps.
In order'to afford the necessary rigidity of structure, the metal is configured to afford a marginal bead 16 around the upper and ide portions of the loop at the upper end of the tool, and these marginal beads converge in the shank portion 12 to provide closely adjacent corrugations 17 separated by a center groove 18. This center groove, which spaces the beads 17 terminates near the lower end of the shank at the point 19, and from that point downwardly the metal converges into the stem which is of channel formation, as in Fig. 4.
5G The channel terminates at the point where from a detailed" laterally to afford a widened shank the metal of the stem merges into the barb 11, and the upper shoulder portion of the barb is provided with a small notch 20.
It will be understood that the under or reverse face of the'tool as illustrated in Fig. .55 2 presents the complementary formation throughout. r 7
The web 15 and the metal contiguous to the opposed'edge 1G lies in a fiatplane, so that an upper narrow rim or lip is opposed by the web which provides for engagement with the edges of a crown seal. The channel 21 formed within the stem affords a duct or vent passage for the escape of gas from corked bottles containing charged beverages, which arrangement permits the barb to be forced downwardly alongside of the cork until the barb passes below the lower end of the cork, after, which the tool may be turned to bring the shoulder of the into transverse relation with the lower end of the cork, which permits the cork to be withdrawn and also aifords escape'for the gas from the bottle during the operation of removing the cork. In this operation, the upper looped end of the'tool affords a convenient handle through which the finger may be thrust in using the implement.
When the device is used for the removal of crown caps, the shank end serves as a handle." When the device is used for sewing. fowl ormeat, the barb serves to pierce the flesh,
"after which a string or cord may be looped over the notched portion of the barb and drawn back in stitching up the fowl ormeat.
I The barbmay also be used in the removal of milk bottle seals, and for various other purposes, and in fact constitutes a household tool of diversified utility.
The invention may be cheaply constructed by simple operations, and possesses great rigidity, due to the beaded or corrugated configuration of the metal.
I claim: v
1. A household tool' comprising a shankiy9 portion of corrugated formation, the metal at the lower end of the shank being converged, and the edges thereof bent to U-shaped formation to afford a narrow grooved stem terminating at its lower end in a barb,
2. A household tool comprising a shank portion of corrugated formation, the metal at the lower end of the shank being converged, and the edges thereof bent to lJ-shaped for 5 mation to afford a narrow grooved steinterurinating at its lower end in a barn provided with a notch in shoulder thereof.
A household tool con grising a .ahank portion of corrmz'ated iin'nnition, the metal at the lower end of the shank being; converged, and the edges thereof bent to U- shapod Lffi'lllllzl'hiGll to afford a narrm Y grooved stem tcrn'iinating at its lower end in a barb, and the metal at the upper end of the shank being *i lened to diffUlil a loop, the corrugations in the shank being; carried upwardly around the loop to afford a ma k lnal bead.
All. A. liouoeu-z-l tool whiny-rising a shank portion of corrugated formation, the metal at the lower end of the shank being converged,
and the edgee thereof bent to U$ llil}f ((l formation to afford a lluilOv lninating at it? lower end n 1 id with a notv-h in the shoulder thereof, and the metal at the upper end of the shank being widened to afford a loop the corrugations in the shank be ng carried up lly around tie loop to afford a marginal head 5. A household tool comp ising a shank portion of corrugated formation, the metal at the lower end of the shank being converged, and, the edges thereof bent to U-shaped formation to afford a narrow grooved stein ter miuating at its lower end in a barb, and the 5 metal. at the upper end of the shank being widened to afford a loop, the corrugatioi'is in the Shank being carried upwardly around the loop to afford a marginal bead, and the metal at the throat of the loop and intermediate the 40 marginal head portions being flattened to afford an intorwning; wee adapted to engage a crown cap.
(5. A household tool comprising a shank portion of corr gated formation, the metal at the lower end of the shank being converged,
and the edges thereof bent to U-ehaped formation to afford a i'ia'rrow grozwed stem terminating at its lower end in a barb provided with a notch in the shoulder thereof, and the n'ietal at the upper end of the shank being widened to afford loop, the corrugations in the shank being carried upwardly around the loop to afford a marginal bead, and the metal at the throat of the loop ant inter nediate the marginal head portions being flattened to afford an intervening weh adapted to engage a crown cap.
In witness that I claim the foregoing I have hereunto subscribed my name this 7th day of October, 1929.
VILLIAM JOHNSON.
