Description

GB 2002 00049 U3 SAFE AND QUICK BOTTLE OPENERS TO REMOVE A CORK CROP. BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION:

There are different kinds of bottle openers available in the market. FIG. 1 shows a conventional bottle opener for removing a cork stopper from a bottle in a non-destructive and rapid manner. A needle (A1) at the front end of a syringe (A) is inserted into and passed through a cork stopper (B) located in the bottle. Then, a pressure propellant container (C) can be placed in the syringe from the opposite end. By pressing lightly against the pressure propellant container (C) for a few seconds, the pressurized propellant gas will cause an overpressure in the bottle to increase, thereby pushing up the cork stopper.

However, there are some drawbacks to the conventional bottle opener: 1. The size of the needle is quite small so it can be relatively easily handled when not properly held. The broken needle can damage the user's hand.

2. Since the size of the needle is rather small, the user may feel insecure when using the bottle opener, which can affect the balance of the hand when the user exerts a compressive force, resulting in a greater likelihood of needle breakage.

3. In order for the needle to pass through the cork stopper, the needle must be pressed downward until the syringe end covers the bottle opening when, with the naked eye, the user finds that the central portion of the stopper is stopped, but if the needle slopes to one side, the syringe end cannot cover tightly. the bottle opening so that the subsequent pressure blow-in operation cannot be performed evenly. In the case of forced displacement, the needle may become deformed or even crack.

4. The syringe and pressure propellant are disposed separately and both can be placed incorrectly.

BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWING

The foregoing and other features and advantages of the present invention will be more readily understood from the following detailed description and the accompanying drawings, in which: 1 shows a conventional bottle opener for removing a cork stopper; FIG. 2 shows the present invention with the parts shown from one another and shown in perspective, fig. 3 shows the present invention with the parts assembled and shown in perspective; FIG. 4 shows the present invention in the stored position, shown in section, and FIG. 5a and 5b show the present invention in the operating position and shown in section.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENT

Referring to FIG. 2 and 3, a safe and fast bottle opener for removing a cork stopper according to the invention comprises a syringe 2, a sliding sleeve 1, a pressure propellant container 4 and a needle housing 3.

The syringe 2 is a hollow, cylindrical structure having a front end with a needle seat 21 with a suitably long needle 22 attached, and a rear end with a swivel cap 23 which closes the opening of the syringe 2. The swivel cap 23 can be locked by threaded engagement or a tight fit. The front end of the syringe 2 is provided with at least one air hole 221.

The sliding sleeve 1 has an inner diameter corresponding to the outer diameter of the syringe 22, so that the sliding sleeve 1 can slide on the syringe 2 and both can rotate freely relative to each other. The front end of the slide sleeve 1 is provided with a seat 11 designed to fit the neck and aperture of most bottles and which is adapted to cover and abut the bottle opening to assist in positioning the bottle opener.

The pressure propellant container 4 is a pressure cartridge or aerosol container filled with a stable, non-toxic gas, such as a refrigerant, CO 2, air, nitrogen, oxygen, etc. under high pressure, which is disposed in the hollow interior of the syringe such that a nozzle 41 on the pressure propellant nozzle 4 abuts the needle 21 from the inside. In addition, the pressure propellant container 4 extends a certain length from the syringe.

The needle housing 3 has an overall length that is slightly longer than the length of the syringe 22 and has two flanged ends. The middle of the first flange 31 is provided with an internal thread 311 for engagement with an external thread 211 of the needle seat 21 and abuts against the periphery of the syringe to stabilize the needle housing 3. The diameter of the second flange 32 is equal to that of plant calculated seat 11 diameter. After use, the bottle opener and components are assembled as shown in FIG. 4, wherein the needle 22 of the syringe 2 can be received and accommodated within the sliding sleeve 1 to form a proper and safe construction convenient to carry.

Referring to FIG. 5a, the needle housing 3 is removed and said abutment seat 11 on the guide bushing 1 is used to cover and abut the neck opening of the bottle 5. At this point, the needle 22 is located off the center of the cork plug 6. Then a pressure is applied to the back of the syringe 1 to cause the needle 22 to pass through the cork stopper until the displacement of the needle 22 stops and the pointed end of the syringe needle 22 is substantially located. in the space between the cork stopper 6 and the wine surface of the bottle 5 as shown in FIG. 5b. Then, the swivel cap 23 is removed to expose the end portion of the pressure propellant container 4. Finally, the pressure propellant container 4 is lightly pressed so that the high pressure gas inside is released and the gas flows out through the needle 22 through the air hole 221 and into the interior of the bottle, resulting in the formation of an overpressure inside the bottle which ejects the cork plug quickly and easily. .

patent claims

A bottle opener for removing a cork stopper and comprising: a syringe which is a hollow, cylindrical structure with a front end with a needle seat in which a suitably long needle is fixedly attached, and a rear end with a swivel cap which seals the syringe opening tightly said front end of said syringe having at least one through-hole, a sliding sleeve having an inner diameter corresponding to said outer diameter of said syringe so that said sliding sleeve could slide on said syringe and said two parts could rotate freely relative to each other, said front end of said the slide sleeve is provided with a seat designed for installation which is designed to fit with the neck opening on most bottles and which is DK 2002 00049 U3 arranged to cover and abut the bottle neck opening to contribute to the positioning of the bottle opener, a pressure propellant container which is a pressurized gas container filled with a stable, non-toxic gas, such as a refrigerant, CO 2, N 2, 0 2, compressed air etc. under high pressure k, and disposed in the hollow interior of the syringe such that a nozzle on the pressure propellant container abuts the needle seat from within, the pressurized propellant container extending a certain length from the syringe, and a needle housing having a total length slightly longer than the length of the syringe and has two flanged ends, the middle of the first flange being provided with an internal thread for engagement with an external thread on the needle seat and abutting the periphery of the syringe for stabilizing the needle housing, while the diameter of the second flange is equal to that of the second flange. The diameter of the seat is intended for installation so that the overall condition of the syringe 1 of the parts can be received and accommodated within the sliding sleeve to form a regular and secure structure suitable for carrying.

The bottle opener according to claim 1, wherein the pressure propellant container can be filled with a non-toxic gas such as refrigerant, CO 2, N 2, 02, air or the like.
