Definitions

  • the invention relates to a corkscrew device comprising a manually rotatable operating spindle for driving corkscrew means extending downwardly therebelow.
  • corkscrew devices of widely different types and constructions which, however, have in common that the corkscrew means comprises a single centrally arranged corkscrew member in line with the operation spindle
  • the invention has for its object to present a corkscrew device of the above-mentioned kind which provides an improved engagement of the corkscrew means with the cork in which said means have been screwed.
  • Another object of the invention is to provide such a corkscrew device which is easy to operate.
  • corkscrew device of the invention is characterized in that said corkscrew means comprise two spaced parallel corkscrew members, each at its upper end rotatably mounted in a common supporting member arranged at the lower end of the operating spindle, said supporting member containing transmission gear means drivingly coupling the spindle lower end to both said cork screw members for simultaneously rotating the same.
  • the corkscrew device may further comprise an elongate housing having an open lower end adapted to be placed on the neck of a bottle and having an upper wall with a central bore through which the spindle extends in a known manner.
  • the supporting member is axially slidably but non-rotatably mounted in said housing.
  • the operating spindle is preferably carried out as a screw spindle engaging in a threaded bore in the upper housing wall.
  • the transmission gear means comprise two pinions, one secured on the upper end of each of said corkscrew members, an inwardly toothed ring rotatably mounted in said supporting member about and in mesh with said two pinions, and coupling means between said ring and the lower end of said spindle.
  • the coupling means comprise two cooperating coupling discs, one disc being integral with said toothed ring and the other disc being secured to the lower end of said spindle and being axially movable with respect to said supporting member, and spring means acting between said supporting member and said other disc biasing said two coupling discs towards each other whereby said coupling discs can be disengaged by pulling said spindle away from said supporting member against the action of said spring means.
  • the two coupling discs are normally interengaged whereby rotation of the spindle in the operating sense advances and rotates both corkscrew members to engage a cork to be pulled.
  • the corkscrew device shown in the drawings has an elongate cylindrical outer housing 1 with a flared lower rim portion 2 and a rounded stop ring 3 secured to its inner wall above said rim portion and adapted to rest on the neck of a bottle inserted into said rim portion 2.
  • the house is closed at its upper side by a cover plate 4 secured to the housing by means not shown or formed integrally therewith.
  • the cover plate has a centrally located screw bore 5 and a screw spindle or operating spindle 6 extends through the bore 5 into the housing 1 in engagement with the threads of the bore, said spindle 6 carrying a handgrip 7 at its upper end.
  • a two part supporting member is axially slidably mounted in the housing 1 which member comprises a lower cup-shaped bottom part 8 and an upper cover disc 9.
  • the bottom part 8 has two diametrically opposed radially projecting hollow guide cams 10 slidably received in axially extending guide slots 11 formed in the inner wall of the housing 1 whereby the supporting member 8, 9 is non-rotatably but axially slidably mounted in the housing 1 and is contained therein between the cover plate 4 and the stop ring 3.
  • the cover disc 9 has two downwardly projecting, slightly resilient arms 12 integrally connected thereto which arms carry at their lower ends radially outwardly projecting latching teeth 13 of saw tooth shape formed thereon.
  • the teeth 13 on the arms 12 can be moved into the slots 14 formed by the hollow cams 10 until the teeth 13 resiliently slip into recesses 15 of corresponding shape formed in the bottom wall of these slots 14, thus securing the upper cover disc 9 to the lower bottom part 8 of the supporting member 8, 9.
  • the bottom part 8 has on its lower side two downwardly projecting bushing parts 16 integrally formed thereon in which two corkscrew members 17 are rotatably mounted and secured against axial movement by means as shown.
  • Each corkscrew member 17 projects with its upper end into the bottom part 8 and has a pinion 18 secured thereon, a spacing plate 19 connecting the two corkscrew members 17 above the pinions 18 in a position in which the pinions run free of one another.
  • the corkscrew members 17 have cylindrical shanks of relatively small diameter and similar helixes formed thereon both being right-handed just as the helix of the screwed spindle 6.
  • An inwardly toothed ring 20 is mounted in the bottom part 10 of the supporting member 10 of the supporting member 8, 9, the ring 20 enclosing the two pinions 18 and meshing therewith.
  • the toothed ring 20 has a closed upper wall so as to form an inverted cup which upper wall has a number of radially extending projections 21 formed on its upper face at equal angular distances from each other. These coupling projections 21 cooperate with a corresponding number of radially extending grooves 22 formed in the lower face of a coupling disc 23 secured to the lower end of the spindle 6.
  • a compression spring 24 is mounted about the spindle 6 between the coupling disc 23 and the cover disc 9 which spring in the rest position shown in Fig.
  • the coupling disc 23 presses the coupling disc 23 against the upper wall of the toothed ring 20 thus keeping the coupling between these parts formed by the interengaging projections 21 and grooves 22 in the engaged position.
  • the coupling disc 23 can, however, be moved rearwardly against the action of the spring 24 until the disc 23 abuts a stop shoulder 25 formed on the cover disc 9 in which position the coupling is released.
  • the above-described corkscrew device operates as follows. In the retracted position of the corkscrew members 17 the housing 1 is placed on the neck of a bottle from which the cork has to be removed. By a right-hand rotation of the operating spindle 6 by means of the handgrip 7 the corkscrew members 17 are driven with an increased rotational speed through the engaged coupling 21, 22 and the toothed gear transmission 20, 18, the corkscrew members 17 being at the same time axially advanced by the screwed spindle 6 moving through the screwed bore 5.
  • the lead of the spindle 6 should be greater than the lead of the helixes of the corkscrew members 17 corresponding to the transmission ratio between the toothed ring 20 and the pinions 18.
  • the spindle 6 is rotated in the left-hand sense in which at the start of this left rotation preferably a pulling force is exerted on the spindle 6 a short time in order to disengage the coupling disc 23 from the coupling projections 21 so as to allow the spindle to be screwed outwardly independently of the toothed ring 20.
  • a pulling force is exerted on the spindle 6 a short time in order to disengage the coupling disc 23 from the coupling projections 21 so as to allow the spindle to be screwed outwardly independently of the toothed ring 20.
  • Continued left-hand rotation causes the coupling disc 23 to abut the stop shoulder 24 whereupon on further left-hand rotation the supporting member 8, 9 and thereby the corkscrew members 17 are pulled upwardly to remove the cork from the bottle.
