DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a bottle opener for opening a cork stopper such as a wine bottle.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art In a conventional bottle opener, when a bottle opening is covered with a sheet, if the user tries to open the bottle without removing the sheet, the spiral rod is displaced from the center of the cork or enters the cork obliquely. When the cork is pulled out, a large force is locally applied to the cork, or the cork may be broken or may not be opened.

[0003]

The conventional corkscrew has a problem that it is not possible to open the bottle easily and quickly and reliably with the sheet of the bottle opening attached.

[0004] It is an object of the present invention to provide a cork stopper that can be opened quickly and securely without any difficulty while the sheet at the bottle opening remains attached.

[0005]

In order to achieve the above object,
The corkscrew of the present invention is a cork corkscrew helical rod fixed to one end of a shaft with a thread groove, and integrated.
A cylindrical guide with a knife edge, a spring, and a rotor and a hoist were fixedly attached to each other, and then assembled with a handle.

[0006] The tubular guide with a knife edge of the corkscrew having the above structure is attached with the corkscrew helical rod inserted therein. When the bin opening is covered with a sheet, the knife edge is used. The knife edge of the cylindrical guide is cut while being pressed against the sheet of the bottle mouth while being cut, so that the knife edge portion is fitted into the inner diameter portion of the bottle mouth. Furthermore, when the handle is pressed and turned to rotate the cork stopper helical rod into the cork stopper and pierce the root of the cork stopper, the cylindrical guide with the knife edge is stuck in the inner diameter of the bottle opening, so that the position is stable. And thus the tip position of the corkscrew helical bar is stabilized, which helps the corkscrew helical bar to penetrate vertically into the center of the cork stopper. At this time, the spring presses the tubular guide with the knife edge in the direction of the cork stopper so that the tubular guide with the knife edge does not get stuck in the inner diameter portion of the elevator with the rotor, thereby facilitating the opening operation.

[0007] Since the rotor and the hoisting base are fixed and integrated, the screw portion of the shaft with the thread groove is attached to the screw portion by fitting the screw portion into the screw portion. After being pierced, the rotor can be turned by hand to move the hoisting platform in the direction of the bottle mouth. As a result, the threaded shaft relatively stably moves in the handle side direction, that is, the direction in which the cork stopper comes off, so that the stopper is reliably opened.

The above-mentioned tubular guide with a knife edge of the corkscrew removes the sheet covering the bottle mouth with the knife edge attached to its opening, and furthermore, the opening is fitted into the inner diameter of the bottle mouth. By doing so, the tip of the spiral rod for corkscrew removal held in a state of being inserted into the inner diameter portion of the cylindrical guide serves to ensure that the tip does not swing and penetrate the cork stopper vertically, and the shape and dimensions and material are appropriately The knife edge portion can be selected, but the knife edge portion is a material that is dimensioned to fit into the inner diameter portion of the bottle mouth and has a plurality of notches so that the sharpness of the edge can be kept as much as possible, and the inside size of the guide is
It is effective and effective for improving the function that the tip of the spiral rod does not swing as much as possible and does not protrude beyond the knife edge.

The spring of the cork stopper remover presses the tubular guide with the knife edge in the cork stopper direction so as not to be stuck in the inner diameter portion of the hoist, and turns the rotor by hand to rotate the cork. It has a spring force that does not hinder the operation of removing the stopper and plays a role of facilitating the opening operation, and its shape, dimensions, and material can be appropriately selected.

[0010] In the cork opener, the rotor and the hoist are fixed and integrated, and the rotor is turned by hand, and the hoist is brought into contact with a bottle opening to handle the shaft with the thread groove. By moving it in the side direction, that is, the direction in which the cork stopper comes off, it plays the role of opening, and its shape, dimensions and material can be selected as appropriate, but the ratio of the pitch of the threaded shaft to the shaft diameter and the rotor diameter It is desirable to set the above-mentioned opening so that the opening can be performed mechanically without difficulty, and the inner diameter of the hoist is larger than the outer diameter of the cork so that the cork can be inserted from the bottle opening. In addition, it is desirable that the opening of the lifting platform is set to be smaller than the outer diameter of the bottle mouth so as to hit the bottle mouth.

[0011]

DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS Embodiments of the present invention will be described based on embodiments with reference to the drawings. In FIG. 1, an iron corkscrew helical rod 7 is fixedly attached to one end of a shaft 2 having an iron thread groove, and a cylindrical guide 6 having an iron knife edge, an iron spring 5 and an outer peripheral portion are made of plastic. An iron rotor 3 having an internally threaded hole and an iron hoist 4 are fixedly attached, and a handle 1 having an outer peripheral portion made of plastic and an inner portion made of iron is attached to the tip of the shaft. Assemble with screws and nuts. The knife edge on the circumference of the opening of the cylindrical guide 6 with the knife edge is formed by four triangular knurls.

[0012]

Since the present invention is configured as described above, it has the following effects.

According to the present invention, a tubular guide with a knife edge is attached in a state in which a spiral rod for corkscrew is inserted therein.
When the bin mouth is covered with a sheet, the knife edge of the cylindrical guide with the knife edge is cut while rotating by pressing the knife edge against the sheet of the bin mouth, so that the knife edge portion is fitted into the inner diameter portion of the bottle mouth, When the handle is pressed and turned to rotate and the cork stopper removing spiral stick is pierced into the cork stopper to the root, the cylindrical guide with the knife edge is stuck in the inner diameter portion of the bottle opening, so that the position is stabilized. Therefore, the tip of the corkscrew helical rod has a small run-out, and the corkscrew helical rod can be vertically stabbed into the center of the cork stopper.

Also, a spring is inserted into the threaded shaft, and the cylindrical guide with knife edge is pressed in the direction of the cork stopper from the side opposite to the opening so that the cylindrical guide with the knife edge does not get stuck in the inner diameter of the hoist with rotor. To make opening work easier.

Further, when the rotor and the hoist are fixedly integrated with each other, the rotor with the hoist is brought into contact with the bin opening by rotating the rotor by hand, and then the shaft with the thread groove is attached to the handle side. In order to move stably and easily in the direction, that is, the direction in which the cork stopper comes off, the stopper can be reliably opened.
