Definitions
- the present invention relates to an accessory for safety for the saberage of a bottle of sparkling wine as well as a saber cutlery and a cooling bucket equipped with such an accessory.
- the present invention proposes to design a safety accessory allowing limit the risk of accidents during the saberage of a bottle of sparkling wine.
- the neck which is violently projected in the extension of the bottle under the effect of the pressure prevailing inside of it, is stopped in its race to a certain distance from the bottle as soon as the restraint is tight. So it is enough for the person realizing saberizing the bottle to ensure that no other no one is located less than the cord length.
- the neck retained by the cord, falls vertically under its own weight and remains hanging on the cord without it being possible reach any person in the audience.
- the saberage of the bottle is therefore carried out in complete safety thanks to an inexpensive and easy-to-use accessory.
- the cord can also adopt a shape and a material aesthetics adapted to festive circumstances or even solemn saber.
- the connecting means of the first end of the bottle neck cord can be made under different forms.
- the neck of the bottle being provided with a muselet for holding the plug, the connecting means of the first end of the retaining cord at the neck of the bottle are made by a coupling hook to this wire.
- the means of connection of the first end of the retaining cord to bottle neck consist of an element of neck strapping.
- the means connecting the first end of the retaining cord to bottle neck consist of a cap neck styling.
- the invention also relates to a utensil sabering as defined by claim 5.
- the second end of the retaining cord is hung on the handle of the utensil saberage.
- the sabering utensil can consist of a any metal blade tool such as a saber or a cutter with non-cutting edges to avoid injury accidental by the blade.
- the invention finally relates to a cooling bucket for bottle of sparkling wine, as defined by claim 9.
- Figure 1 illustrates a first embodiment of the invention.
- a 10 bottle of sparkling wine i.e. non-still wine produced for example according to the Champagne method, is slashed by means of a saber cutlery 20 fitted with a safety accessory 1 according to the invention.
- the bottle 10 has a body 11, a bottom 12 and, at its top, a neck 13 closed by a plug which, as is common for elaborate wine bottles according to the Champagne method, is held in place by a muselet 15 which opposes the extraction force exerted on the plug by the pressure prevailing inside the bottle.
- the neck 13, its cap and its muselet 15 are covered by a protective film 14. In the configuration illustrated by FIG. 1, only the loop 15 of the muselet, which has been folded down at right angles, comes out of the protective film 14 to be hung up on safety accessory 1.
- the sabering utensil 20 is here constituted by a cutlass with a handle 21 (made of wood, metal, horn or any other material) having a front end face 22 beyond from which extends a metal blade 23 with a non-edge cutting (not sharpened), the blade 23 being only intended to hit the neck of the neck 13 of the bottle 10 to break the glass by shock.
- Safety accessory 1 consists of a retaining cord 2 which is here produced in the form of a metal chain (and in particular of precious metal) ball. But this form is in no way limiting and the cord 2 could be made of any material (plastic, synthetic or natural fiber, wood, etc.) and in any form (chain link, continuous wire, etc.).
- Cord 2 has a first end 3 which is fitted with a clasp hook 4 engaged in the loop 15 of the muselet equipping the neck 13 of the bottle 10.
- the cord 2 is fitted with a washer 6 which is nailed to the front end face 22 of the wooden handle 21 of the cutlass saber 20.
- the neck 13 is then stopped in its course, the second end 5 of the cord 2 being retained by its hooking on the handle 21 of the cutlass 20.
- the length of the cord 2 can be chosen according to the maximum distance at which we wish to see an interruption theft of bottleneck 13. This is how, for aesthetic reasons, we can choose a cord 2 relatively long, while for reasons of greater security, we can instead choose a cord 2 relatively short. In all cases, the person carrying out the saber will simply make sure that no other no one is located less than the cord length 2.
- the neck 13, retained by the cord 2 falls back then vertically under its own weight and remains suspended from cord 2 without it being possible reach any person in the audience.
- the sabering of the bottle 10 is therefore carried out in all safety, regardless of the attention that can be paid the other members of the assembly at the operation. It is also possible to saber bottles in public places such as restaurants, meeting rooms reception, or even outdoor seating.
- FIG 2 there is shown a first variant of the connection means of the first end 3 of the retaining cord 2 at the neck 13 of the bottle.
- the first end 3 of the cord 2 is equipped with an elastic ring 7 which realizes a strapping of the neck 13.
- the ring 7 may for example be made of rubber, possibly coated with fabric to improve its appearance (although this reduces its adhesion with the neck).
- FIG 3 a second is shown variant of the connection means of the first end 3 of the retaining cord 2 at the neck 13 of the bottle.
- the first end 3 of the cord 2 is fitted with an elastic cap 8 which covers the top of the neck 13.
- the elasticity of the cap 8 is not essential and one could also provide such a cap not elastic with a strapping link at its free edge such as a lace.
- Figure 4 illustrates a second embodiment of the invention.
- the second end 5 of the retaining cord 2 of the accessory safety 1 is attached to the bottle 10 and no longer to the saber cutter 20.
- the second end 5 of the retaining cord 2 is fitted with an elastic ring 30 which encircles the body 11 of the bottle 10.
- This ring elastic 30 can be made for example of rubber, which gives it good grip characteristics with the glass constituting the bottle 10. But this example is in no way limiting and we can for example plan to wrap the rubber ring 13 in a cloth to make it better presentable aesthetically.
- a link non-elastic strapping such as a leather belt or similar attached to the second end 5 of the cord 2 and equipped with any closure loop.
- FIG. 5 a variant of realization of the attachment means of the second end 5 from the retaining cord 2 to the bottle 10.
- the second end 5 of the cord 2 is equipped a base 40 which comes to cap the bottom (referenced in 12 to Figures 1 and 4) of the bottle 10.
- This base 40 which can be made of metal or plastic, has a bottom 41 in the form of a disc, the periphery of which has a cylindrical rim formed by a succession of teeth 42 separated by notches 43 and "biting" the periphery of the bottom of the bottle.
- These teeth 42 which are elastically radially deformable, provide the peripheral rim cylindrical they form an expansion capacity radial elastic allowing tight mounting of the base 40 on the bottom of the bottle 10.
- FIG. 6 illustrates a third embodiment of the invention.
- the bottle 10 is here associated with an ice bucket 50 of refrigeration from this bottle, which has laterally shaped grip handles 51 ring.
- the retaining cord 2 of the safety 1 is attached, not to the saber cutter 20, but to the bucket 50. More precisely, the second end 5 of the cord 2 is provided with a clasp hook 9 which is hung on the ring 51 of the bucket 50.
