Definitions
- the present invention relates to the field of bottling of beverages and manufacturing of glass and/or plastic bottles, particularly bottles of wine, sparkling wine and the like, as well as those bottles using corks or plastic stoppers for plugging.
- the present invention seeks to overcome such problems and to allow anyone to open a bottle of sparkling wine or the like removing the cork very easily.
- Figure 1 shows an exploded view in axial section, in which the different parts of the invention may be seen;
- Figures 2 and 3 show the succession of the assembling steps of the device according to the invention
- Figure 4 shows a perspective view of the bottle according to the invention
- Figure 5 shows a corked bottle with the removal means
- Figure 6 shows the cork removed by the device according to the invention
- Figure 7 shows the bottle corked again according to the invention
- Figure 8 shows an axial section of a second embodiment of the removal device screwed on a bottle according to the invention ;
- Figures 9 and 10 show a side view of a cylindrical cork after and before the use of the removal device of Figure 8, respectively.
- the invention consists in combination of a device 3 for removing the cork of bottles of sparkling wine, wine, champagne or any other similar beverage by applying a very little force, and means integral with the bottle 1 and adapted to engage said removal device 3.
- said means integral with the bottle 1 consists of an external thread 2 formed at the top of the bottle's neck.
- the removal means 3 is essentially formed of a hollow cylinder provided with an internal thread 4 conjugated to thread 2 at the bottle's neck and a possible external thread 10 coaxial to thread 4.
- the lower cylinder base of the removal device 3 is open while the upper cylinder base has a coaxial hole with the same diameter as the internal diameter of the bottle's neck. Thus, an edge 5 capable of resting on the bottle's neck is formed.
- the removal device 3 is screwed to bottle 1 by threads 2 and 4 described above until edge 5 rests on the top of the bottle's neck.
- the liquid is filled and the bottle is corked by conventional methods using a cork 6 or a plastic stopper or the like. It should be noted that, according to a peculiar feature of the invention, the cork rests with the lower part of its head on edge 5 of removal device 3 instead of directly on the bottle's neck. The usual cage around the cork is then applied.
- the use of the invention by the user is very easy: he has only to unscrew the removal device 3 from the bottle's neck to open the bottle.
- the unscrewing causes the cork to be extracted due to the progressive upward pushing of edge 5 against the lower part of the cork's head, thus causing the removal of the cork with a very little force (see Fig. 6) .
- bottle 1 is uncorked because cork 6 is engaged in removal device 3.
- shaking the bottle before opening is not necessary and then the relative problems are avoided.
- a second plug 7 may also be provided on the outside to be used as replacement for the cork locking cage and possibly containing a disk the use of which is explained thereafter.
- Such plug 7 has an internal thread 9 conjugated to external thread 10 of removal device 3 so that upon screwing the latter to the bottle's neck a nice- looking closure of the bottle is provided.
- a disk 8 preferably of cork having the same diameter as the bottle's neck may be placed inside plug 7 before the latter is screwed outside the removal device 3 after corking the bottle. Of course, such additional plug 7 is unscrewed before opening the bottle by the above-described cork removal device 3.
- the removal device 3 may advantageously be used also as air ⁇ tight seal which allows the product to be preserved for the next use.
- disk 8 is placed on the opening of the bottle's neck and then removal device 3 is screwed so that its edge 5 blocks disk 8 against the opening of bottle 1.
- removal device 3 may be, for example, of cork coated with an aluminium foil or plastic or other resistant material.
- Disk 8 used for closing bottle 1 may be of cork and the second plug 7 may be of light aluminium or any other material and form for decorative purposes.
- a second embodiment of the invention provides a removal device 3A which differs from the already described device 3 in the thickness of edge 5A which in this case is much higher and provided with vertical internal grooves 12 spaced apart along the periphery thereof.
- This removal device 3A may be used with corks of the cylindrical type 6A such as shown in Figure 10.
- the lower part of cork 6A is engaged within the bottle's neck and the upper part thereof is engaged within edge 5A having the same opening as the bottle's neck and being provided with the above-mentioned vertical internal grooves 12.
- Cork 6A radially compressed upon corking tends to widen radially again due to the elastic property of the cork and fills the grooves 12 assuming the shape shown in Figure 9 with bulges 13 engaged in grooves 12.
- This second embodiment of the removal device 3A removes cork 6A by twisting it through bulges 13.
- the thread 2 of bottle 1 described above may be provided in a cylinder adapted to be secured to the neck of a conventional bottle instead of directly in the bottle's neck.
- Such cylinder having said external thread 2 could be of thermosetting material and applied by a heat treatment to the bottle's neck. It is self-evident that under such conditions the common bottles may be used.
