Abstract

A device for easily, safely and single-handedly opening a bottle sealed with a crown cap. The device consists of a main body (1) with two opposite ends and an opening (5) therebetween. One end forms a leverage handle (3) while the other defines a notch (4) for engaging the lower portion of the crown cap. The device further comprises a support (2) to be fitted over a finger of the user's hand. When the user exerts pressure on the handle (3), the notch (4) and a projection (6) lift the crown cap, thus opening the bottle.

Description

DISPOSITIF POUR L'OUVERTURE D'UNE BOUTEILLE A CAPSULE A COURONNE DEVICE FOR OPENING A BOTTLE WITH A CROWN CAPSULE
La présente invention concerne un dispositif pour l'ouverture d'une bouteille à bouchon à couronne, aussi appelée décapsuleur.The present invention relates to a device for opening a bottle with a crown cap, also called a bottle opener.
L'ouverture de ces bouteilles est traditionnelement effectuée à l'aide d'un décapsuleur. L'utilisateur particulier ou professionnel est obligé d'utiliser ses deux mains (la bouteille dans l'une et le décapsuleur dans l'autre) ou bien de tenir la bouteille entre ses jambes, ce qui rend difficile et périlleuse l'opération d'ouverture de ces mêmes bouteilles.The opening of these bottles is traditionally carried out using a bottle opener. The private or professional user is obliged to use both hands (the bottle in one and the bottle opener in the other) or else to hold the bottle between his legs, which makes the operation difficult and dangerous. opening of these same bottles.
Le dispositif selon l'invention permet de remédier à cet inconvénient, ouvrant la possibilité d'avoir une main libre et de pouvoir effectuer l'ouverture de la bouteille avec une seule main.The device according to the invention overcomes this drawback, opening the possibility of having a free hand and being able to open the bottle with one hand.
Il est caractérisé par l'existence d'un support élastique ajustable, fixé au corps principal du dispositif qui lui permet d'être accroché à un doigt de la main de l'utilisateur, qui est celle qui porte et ouvre la bouteilleIt is characterized by the existence of an adjustable elastic support, fixed to the main body of the device which allows it to be hung on a finger of the hand of the user, who is the one who carries and opens the bottle
Il est aussi caratérisé par l'existence d'un corps principal présentant deux extrémités opposées et d'une ouverture entre celles-ci. L'une des extrémités constitue le manche qui sert de levier et qui longe le côté intérieur du doigt porteur, jusqu'au milieu du côté intérieur de la paume de la main de l'utilisateur. L'autre extrémité est constituée d'une encoche qui sert à saisir une partie inférieure du bouchon de la bouteille, celui-ci étant enfoncé dans l'ouverture adjacente à la dite encoche. Ainsi, quand l'utilisateur appuie sur le manche qui sert de levier, dans le sens vertical (du haut vers le bas) ceci permet de démultiplier l'effort exercé ; l'encoche exerce une pression du bas vers le haut, sur le bouchon en ouvrant la bouteille.It is also characterized by the existence of a main body having two opposite ends and an opening between them. One end constitutes the handle which acts as a lever and which runs along the inside of the carrier finger, to the middle of the inside of the palm of the user's hand. The other end consists of a notch which is used to grip a lower part of the bottle stopper, the latter being pressed into the opening adjacent to the said notch. Thus, when the user presses on the handle which acts as a lever, in the vertical direction (from top to bottom) this makes it possible to multiply the force exerted; the notch exerts a pressure from the bottom to the top, on the stopper by opening the bottle.
Selon les modes particuliers de réalisation :According to the particular embodiments:
- le support peut faire partie intégrante du corps principal du dispositif formant une seule pièce.- The support can be an integral part of the main body of the device forming a single piece.
- le support peut être constitué d'une autre matière que celle du reste du dispositif, soit le bois, le plastique, le fil de fer, le cuir ou autres.- The support can be made of another material than that of the rest of the device, either wood, plastic, wire, leather or others.
- le manche qui sert de levier peut être creux ou massif, d'une forme ronde, carrée ou triangulaire.- the handle which acts as a lever can be hollow or solid, of a round, square or triangular shape.
Les dessins annexés illustrent l'invention :The accompanying drawings illustrate the invention:
La figure 1 représente en perspective le dispositif selon l'invention.Figure 1 shows in perspective the device according to the invention.
La figure 2 représente en perspective une variante de ce dispositif.Figure 2 shows in perspective a variant of this device.
En référence à ces dessins le dispositif comporte un corps principal (1), dont la partie supérieure est constituée d'un support (2) élastique ajustable avec fixation, permettant de s'adapter à la taille et à la grosseur du d igt de la main de l'utilisateur. La partie antérieure du corps principal (1) comporte le manche "(3) qui sert de levier, celui-ci ayant une forme et une longueur correspondantes à ceux du doigt et de la paume de la main de l'utHsateur. La partie postérieure du corps principal (1) comporte une encoche (4) ayant dans son coté intérieur une saillie (6). La longueur du manche (3) qui sert de levier et la position de l'encoche (4) par rapport au bouchon à couronne qui se loge dans l'ouverture (5) sont telles, qu'une faible pression exercée par l'utilisateur sur le manche (3) est démultipliée permettant ainsi à l'encoche de soulever le bouchon à couronne et d'ouvrir la bouteille.With reference to these drawings, the device comprises a main body (1), the upper part of which consists of an elastic support (2) adjustable with fixing, making it possible to adapt to the size and size of the d igt of the user's hand. The front part of the main body (1) comprises the handle " (3) which serves as a lever, the latter having a shape and a length corresponding to those of the finger and the palm of the user's hand. The rear part of the main body (1) has a notch (4) having in its inner side a projection (6). The length of the handle (3) which acts as a lever and the position of the notch (4) relative to the crown plug which is housed in the opening (5) are such that a slight pressure exerted by the user on the handle (3) is multiplied allowing the notch to lift the crown cap and open the bottle.
Dans la forme de réalisation selon la figure 2 le corps principal (1) comporte dans sa partie supérieure un support (7) qui fait partie intégrante du dit corps principal (1). Ceci notamment dans le cas où le corps principal (1) est réalisé en métal ou en plastique en une seule opération de moulage par injection.In the embodiment according to Figure 2 the main body (1) has in its upper part a support (7) which is an integral part of said main body (1). This especially in the case where the main body (1) is made of metal or plastic in a single injection molding operation.
A titre d'exemple non limitatif, l'ensemble du corps principal et du support auront les dimensions de l'ordre de 3 cm pour la largeur et la hauteur et de 9 cm pour la longueur.By way of nonlimiting example, the whole of the main body and of the support will have the dimensions of the order of 3 cm for the width and the height and 9 cm for the length.
Le dispositif selon l'invention est particulièrement destiné à l'ouverture des bouteilles à bouchon à couronne. The device according to the invention is particularly intended for the opening of bottles with crown caps.
