BOTTLE CAP REMOVER Filed Nov. 2:5, 1931 ATTORN Y5.
Patented Dec. 1 3 1932 UNITED STATES JOSEPH W. SWENSON, OF SUMMIT, NEW JERSEY BOTTLE CAP REMOVER Application filed November 23, 1931.. Serial No. 576,627.
This invention relates to a novel and improved form of bottle cap remover, the novel features of which will be best understood from the following description and the annexed drawing, in which I have shown a selected embodiment of the invention, and in which:
Fig. 1 is a vertical view, partly in elevation and partly in section, showing my invention as applied to a milk bottle.
Fig. 2 is a view similar to Fig. 1, but showing the parts in different relation.
Fig. 3 is a top plan view of the structure appearing in Fig. 1.
Fig. l is a View of the remover detached from the bottle and viewed from the left of Fi 1.
The invention is shown as embodied in a remover having a clip 1 adapted to engage the neck of a bottle, such as a milk bottle, so as to hold the device in place on the bottle. The clip comprises oppositely disposed arms 2 and 3, which are resilient so as to hold the device securely in place on the bottle.
Secured to the clip, and extending upwardly therefrom, is a member 4: shown in the form of a spring integral with the clip 1, which spring is bowed outwardly at 5 to engage the outer surface of the bottle rim 6, and preferably the member is shaped to fit this outer surface tightly, as shown in Figs. 1 and 2. The member is shown as arcuate, terminating in an arm 7 which normally extends over the cap 8 of the bottle. The end of the arm 7 is provided with a prong 9 bent backwardly towards the arm and adapted to pierce the cap 8 which, as is well known, is usually formed of paper or some other easily punctured material. This prong 9 may also be used to engage the wire loop oftentimes found in bottle caps of this character, and where in the specification and claims I refer to the prong piercing the cap, it is to be understood that by that expression I mean to include engagement of the prong with such a wire loop.
The prong is shown as integral with the arm 7 and narrower than the arm to which it is oined by shoulders 10. Overlying the prong adjacent the shoulders is a resilient bearing member 11, preferably of rubber, which is adapted to engage the top of the cap 8 when the parts arein the position shown in 5 able way. The handle has a downwardly 2:
extending portion 14 which extends below the top of the bottle, asplainly shown in Figs. 1 and 2. I i
In operation, the device is appliedto a bottle by causing the clip 1 to engage the I neck of the bottle, andthen the prong 9 is forced through the cap in some such manner as indicated in F ig. 1. The action of the spring tends to hold the parts in the position shown in Fig. 1, and then the cap may be removed by bearing downwardly upon the portion 14 of the handle to bring it to some such position as shown in Fig. 2. This may conveniently be done by engaging the portion 14 with the thumb orsome other part of the hand, and forcing it towards the neck of the bottle. The result is a flattening out of the arcuate portion of the member 4t and a raising of the end of the arm 7 with its prong. This prong being bent backwardly towards the arm 7 or inclined to the plane of the cap, tends to lift the cap, and the resilient bearing member 11 tends to bind the cap against the prong. Upon release of the pressure exerted against the portion 14 of the, handle,
the action of the spring will cause the cap to return to the closed position shown in Fig. 1.
The device is one which can be simply and cheaply made with a minimum of parts and is effective in operation. shown the device as embodied in a certain form, it is of course to be understood that various changes may be made without departing from the scope of the invention, and therefore I do not intend to limit myself except by the appended claims.
I claim:
1. A bottle cap remover comprising a clip adapted to engage a bottle, a spring secured to said clip and adapted to extend over the While I have 00 cap when the clip is in engagement with the bottle, a prong on the end of said spring to engage said cap, and means to flex said spring to move the prong and the cap away from the bottle.
2. A bottle cap remover comprising a clip adapted to engage a bottle, a spring secured to said clip and adapted to extend over the cap when the clip is in engagement with the bottle, a prong on the end of said spring to engage said cap, and a'handle secured to said spring and extending downwardly into position to be grasped by the hand and moved towards the bottle to flex said spring and lift the cap.
3. A. bottle cap remover comprising an arm, means to hold said arm in position on a bottle and extending over a cap closing said bottle, a prong on said arm adapted to pierce said cap, a resilient bearing member surrounding said prong, and means limiting movement of said member on the prong away from the point thereof.
-1L. A bottle cap opener having a clip adapted to engage a bottle neck, a spring secured to said clip and contacting with the outer surface of the rim of the bottle when the clip is in place, said spring comprising an arm extending over the cap on the bottle and having a prong to engage and hold said cap, and means to fier said spring to move the prong and the cap away from the bottle.
A bottle cap remover comprising an arm, means to hold said arm in position 011 .a bottle and extending over a cap closing said bottle, a prong on said arm adapted to pierce said cap, said prong being inclined back toward said arm and forming an acute angle therewith, and a resilient bearing member surrounding said prong and disposed adjacent said arm.
JOSEPH lV. SKVENSON.
