DE10327768A1 - Adornment ring with bottle opening function, includes specially shaped plug which is provided at lower edge of ring body and has thickness of 3 mm - Google Patents

Abstract

The adornment ring includes a specially shaped plug which is provided at the lower edge of a ring body. The upper edge width of the ring is the same as the width of the ring lower edge inclusive of the plug. The plug has a thickness of 3 mm. The inner side of the ring shows a special round cut which minimizes pressure at the top portion of the ringed finger when using the ring as a bottle opener.

Description

field of use

Basically it acts it is in the invention to a jewelry ring (finger ring) with integrated, optimized bottle opener function (for the opening of Bottle caps). The ring allows due to its new, specific functional design (shape) one simplified, comfortable, safe and thus improved use as a bottle opener.

State of technology

to There is only one so-called "bottle opener ring", which has the function of a finger ring the one of a bottle opener (Crown cork) connects (see Appendix 3). This bottle opener ring makes the principle of a classic at the bottom of the ring bottle opener to own, in which by means of a bent edge and an opposite bearing surface A leverage effect on the bottle cap can be generated in the usual Way to the opening a bottle leads.

disadvantage of the prior art

These Construction requires about 2 centimeters wide underside of the Ringes, what with smaller hands to restrictions a pressure-free design lead the finger movement can. In addition, the bending of the edge (at the crown cap) a not to be underestimated Risk of injury.

Task of invention

task the invention is on the one hand, the design / shape of the ring opener crucial simplify without any loss of function. On the other hand, it is about the same time, the wearing comfort means Redesign of the functional connection ring / opener significantly increase (with the The goal of reducing the ring width by at least 50 percent in the Comparison with the current state of the art). Additional task of the redesign is Of course also to reduce the risk of injury to a minimum.

Solution of Task and embodiment

Of the Newly designed jewelery ring (see Appendix 1) with optimized, integrated bottle opener function is depending on the ring diameter between 7 millimeters and a maximum of 10 Millimeters wide and made of stainless steel for dimensional stability.

At the The lower edge of the ring is about 5 millimeters wider and about 3 millimeters long (deeper) spigot, which over one horizontal inside cut features. This inner cut runs parallel to the inner surface of the ring. The height of the pin equals the wall thickness of the ring.

The Width of the ring on its lower side (including pin) is equal to the width at the top of the ring (e.g., 8 millimeters). Important in this context: So that the appropriate pin size / depth guaranteed is, rejuvenates / narrows the ring in its width from top to bottom continuously around the corresponding pintle depth. The resulting indentations allow right and left of the pin the pin with appropriate handling a functional, safe Custody at the bottom of the crown cork. Will the pressure on the pin (and thus on the crown cap) by means of leverage, by corresponding hand posture and movement is generated - increased, has this is the opening a previously closed by means of bottle cap bottle.

One equally important detail of the solution: To minimize the pressure on the respective finger top, points the inside of the ring a special - up to 1.5 mm thick / high and to both sides of the ring sloping - round cut (see Appendix 2).

Of the Ring can be worn on the index, middle or ring finger. The ring is supported so that the integrated pin on the palm of your hand located. For the opening a bottle, the pin is laterally and from bottom to top led the edge of the crown cork. Once the pin hooks to the bottom of the bottle cap, By raising the hand, the pressure on the cork is increased. By a corresponding "rolling motion" of the hand over the Bottle (with support through the top of the ring-carrying and at the opposite Side of the bottleneck adjacent finger) increases the leverage and thus the power transfer to the crown cap. An immediate opening the bottle is the result.

Advantages of invention

The previously described invention leads to a greatly simplified and thus optimized use of a Bottle opener ring. Both handling, comfort and protection Injuries are compared in the new ring opener design decisively improved to the prior art.

Claims (1)

Jewelery ring with integrated bottle opener function, which is characterized in that a) at the lower edge of the ring there is a specially shaped cone (circular dimension: H 2 mm × W 5 mm × D 3 mm) with a flat inner surface; b) the width of the ring at the upper edge of the width of the ring at the lower edge ( including the pin) c) the depth of the pin (about 3 millimeters) - and thus the holding function of the pin at the bottom of the crown cap - is characterized by a continuous, one-sided narrowing of the ring (tapering from the upper edge to the lower edge) shows d) the inside of the ring has a special - up to 1.5 millimeters thick / high and sloping to both sides of the ring - round cut, which leads to a minimization of pressure at the top of the ring finger when using the ring as a bottle opener.
