Definitions

  • the present invention relates to an automatic corkscrew intended for be placed on the neck of a bottle and adapted to perform automatically extracting the cap by screwing in the latter, a spin rotated by an electric motor, and the ejection of said plug by unscrewing the auger with respect to this plug.
  • the apparatus described in this patent includes a dwelling cylindrical open on its face intended to be placed on the neck of the bottle, in which can engage the tendril. This accommodation is suitable to receive the cap during its extraction.
  • the electric motor is mounted in a compartment outside said housing, so that the spin carried by this motor is located in the axis of this housing and that the engine can be move between a first stop constituted by an end of the opposite compartment to said face to be placed on the neck of the bottle and a second stop formed by the end of said opposite housing to said face.
  • switching means are provided for controlling automatically starting the engine, rotating it in the opposite direction to eject the plug and stop the engine.
  • These switching means comprise switches which are controlled by contact with the neck or by direct contact with the cork following the operating phase of the automatic corkscrew.
  • a first disadvantage is that the spin is not guided in rotation between its free end and the electric motor.
  • the plug because of its elastic and relative properties fragility, does not constitute a reliable device for operating the switches.
  • the object of the present invention is to overcome the drawbacks of the above-mentioned apparatus, in particular by ensuring an efficient guiding of the tendril and by creating control means of the switches that are extremely reliable.
  • the corkscrew of the type described above is characterized in that said cylindrical housing contains a pusher member, movable axially inside said housing at the same time as the plug and bearing on the cap during its ejection, the face of said organ pusher opposite its bearing face on the cap being adapted to cooperate with said switching means for controlling the operation of the motor electric.
  • the pusher member is traversed axially by the spin by a helical passage complementary to the helical shape of the tendril, of so that the rotation of this twist moves said pusher member.
  • This pusher member also makes it possible to axially guide the spin which guarantees that the latter engages rigorously in the axis of the stopper thus ensuring extraction of this plug in the optimal conditions.
  • the displacement of the pusher member is guided by ribs arranged on the internal lateral face of the cylindrical housing, these ribs being engaged in notches on the periphery of the pusher organ.
  • the cylindrical housing is extended outwards by a skirt of section wider than that of the housing that is intended to come to cap the neck of the bottle, a ring elastic strap being mounted inside this skirt, near the entrance of the housing, this ring being able to come into contact with the neck of the bottle, this ring cooperating with two control switches of the operation of the electric motor.
  • the attached figures show an automatic corkscrew intended for be placed on the neck 1 of a bottle 2 and adapted to perform automatically extracting the cap 3 by screwing into the latter, a spin 4 driven in rotation by an electric motor 5, and the ejection of said plug 3 by unscrewing the twist 4 with respect to this plug 3.
  • the automatic corkscrew comprises a cylindrical housing 6 (see in particular Figures 2 and 4) open on its face intended to be placed on the neck 1 of the bottle 2, in which can engage the spin 4.
  • This housing 6 is able to receive the plug 3 (see Figures 8 and 9) during its extraction.
  • the electric motor 5 is mounted in a compartment 7 outside the housing 6, so that the auger 4 carried by the engine 5 is located in the axis of the housing 6 and that the motor 5 can move between a first stop 8 (see FIGS. 4 and 5) constituted by one end of the compartment 7 opposed to the face 9 intended to be placed on the neck 1 of the bottle 2 and a second stop 10 (see FIGS. 7, 8 and 9) constituted by the end of housing 6 opposite to face 9.
  • switches 11, 12, 13, 14 located outside the housing 6 are provided to automatically control the start-up of the motor 5, its rotation in one direction to extract the plug 3, its rotation in a reverse direction to eject the plug 3 and the stop of the engine 5.
  • the cylindrical housing 6 contains an element rigid 15, for example aluminum or other rigid material pusher movable axially inside the housing 6 at the same time as the plug 3 and bearing on the plug 3 during its extraction and ejection.
  • the face 15a of the pusher member 15 opposite its bearing face 15b on the plug 3 is able to cooperate with the switches to control the operation of the electric motor 5, as will be explained in more detail further.
  • the pusher member 15 is traversed axially by the twist 4 by a helical passage 16 complementary to the helical shape of the twist 4, of so that the latter is screwed in this passage 16 and that the rotation of this twist 4 moves the push member 15.
  • Figures 2 and 3 show that the displacement of the pusher member 15 is guided by ribs 17 arranged on the internal lateral face of the housing cylindrical 6. These ribs 17 are engaged in notches 18 performed on the periphery of the pusher member 15.
  • FIG. 1 The figures further show that the cylindrical housing 6 is extended outwardly by a skirt 19 of wider section than that of the housing 6 which is intended to cap the neck 1 of the bottle 2.
  • Figure 2 shows that an elastic ring 20 is mounted inside the skirt 19, close to the inlet 6a of the housing 6. This ring 20 is able to come into contact with the neck 1 of the bottle 2. This ring 20 cooperates with two switches 11, 12 of control of the operation of the electric motor 5, as one will explain it in more detail later.
  • the pusher member 15 cooperates with a switch for command the stopping of the electric motor 5 at the end of the extraction phase of the plug, when the pusher member 15 is located at the end of stroke (see Figure 9) opposite the inlet 6a of the cylindrical housing 6.
  • Figures 7 and 8 show in particular the displacement of the motor electrical 5 is guided by ribs such as 21 made on the face compartment 7. These ribs 21 are conductive and feed electrically the electric motor 5.
  • the user engages the skirt 19 on the neck 1 of the bottle.
  • the bottleneck of the bottle is supported on the ring 20 (see Figure 2) which closes the switch 11 and opens the switch 12.
  • the twist 4 turns in the direction of screwing and is screwed into the plug 3 (see Figure 6).
  • the motor 5 moves towards the housing 6 while being guided by the ribs such as 21.
  • the motor 5 abuts against the stop 10 (see Figure 7). In this position, spin 4 continues to spin but the engine 5 can not move anymore.
  • the spin 4 rotating extract the plug 3 of the bottle (see Figure 8) and the cap and the pushing member 15 in support on the latter, engage in housing 6.
  • the pusher member 15 abuts against the end of the motor 5 after triggering the switch 13 which cuts the power supply of the engine.
  • the user can then release the device from the neck of the bottle, which has for effect to return to idle position the ring 20 and put the switch 12 in the closed position.
  • the engine then turns in direction reverse and the auger 4 is unscrewed relative to the plug 3 (see Figure 10).
  • the motor 5 goes back to the stop 8.
  • the rotation continues and the engine does not being able to move, the spin 4 rotating pushes the pusher member 15 towards the bottom (see Figure 11) which causes the ejection of the cap (see Figure 12). then of its displacement the pusher member 15 actuates the switch 14 which cuts the motor power supply 5.
