DESCRIPCIÓNDESCRIPTION
Objeto de la InvenciónObject of the Invention
La presente invención se refiere a un sacacorchos portátil mejorado, que aporta esenciales características de novedad y notables ventajas con respecto a los medios similares conocidos y utilizados para el mismo fin en el estado actual de la técnica.The present invention relates to an improved portable corkscrew, which provides essential novelty features and remarkable advantages over similar means known and used for the same purpose in the current state of the art.
De manera más concreta, la invención propone el desarrollo de un dispositivo utilizable como sacacorchos, de un tamaño suficientemente reducido para que pueda ser portado por el usuario, con el que es posible realizar, de forma cómoda y sencilla, la extracción del corcho presentado por una botella, con un mínimo esfuerzo, susceptible de ser aplicado a cualquier tipo de tapones con independencia de sus características o tamaño, mediante una operación única o bien en dos fases dependiendo de la longitud del corcho en cuestión. Además, el diseño del sacacorchos ha sido concebido de tal manera que proporciona también, en el mismo cuerpo, medios para cortar las cápsulas que eventualmente puedan recubrir al propio corcho.More specifically, the invention proposes the development of a device usable as a corkscrew, of a sufficiently small size so that it can be carried by the user, with which it is possible to carry out, in a comfortable and simple way, the extraction of the cork presented by a bottle, with minimal effort, capable of being applied to any type of stopper regardless of its characteristics or size, by means of a single operation or in two phases depending on the length of the cork in question. Furthermore, the design of the corkscrew has been conceived in such a way that it also provides, in the same body, means to cut the capsules that may eventually cover the cork itself.
El campo de aplicación de la invención se encuentra comprendido dentro de la industria dedicada a la fabricación de artículos de menaje, regalo, promoción y similares, tanto de uso industrial como doméstico.The field of application of the invention is included within the industry dedicated to the manufacture of household items, gifts, promotion and the like, for both industrial and domestic use.
Antecedentes y Sumario de la InvenciónBackground and Summary of the Invention
Son conocidos en el estado de la técnica múltiples dispositivos utilizables como sacacorchos, con diseños estructurales y formales ampliamente variables. En general, todos estos dispositivos están provistos de un elemento en espiral adecuado para su "atornillado" en el corcho de la botella a ser extraído, y al menos un elemento de mango a través del cual el usuario ejerce el esfuerzo de tracción durante la operación de extracción del corcho.Multiple devices usable as corkscrews, with widely varying structural and formal designs, are known in the state of the art. Usually, all these devices are provided with a spiral element suitable for "screwing" them into the cork of the bottle to be extracted, and at least one handle element through which the user exerts the tensile stress during the extraction operation of the cork.
Cuando se trata de realizar sacacorchos portátiles, es decir, aquellos que pueden ser portados fácilmente por el usuario en un bolsillo, es lógico que se intente reducir al máximo su tamaño tratando de mantener, en la medida de lo posible, las prestaciones de comodidad y facilidad de uso de otros de mayor tamaño. Esta situación lleva muchas veces consigo el hecho de que se adopten soluciones complicadas que dan como resultado dispositivos estructuralmente complejos y de diseño engorroso.When it comes to making portable corkscrews, that is, those that can be easily carried by the user in a pocket, it is logical to try to minimize their size trying to maintain, as far as possible, the comfort and ease of use of other larger ones. This situation often leads to the fact that complicated solutions are adopted resulting in structurally complex and cumbersome design devices.
Existe por tanto una necesidad práctica de realización de un sacacorchos de tipo portátil que, siendo de una concepción simplificada, permita poder ser aplicado, de forma rápida, cómoda y sencilla, a todo tipo de corchos con independencia de sus características y de sus dimensiones.Therefore, there is a practical need for a portable type corkscrew that, being simplified in design, allows it to be applied, quickly, comfortably and easily, to all types of corks regardless of their characteristics and dimensions.
La solución a la necesidad planteada, ha sido aportada por el sacacorchos de la presente invención, mediante el que es posible realizar el descorche de una manera realmente efectiva ante cualquier tipo de situación, y en presencia de tapones cuyos tamaños pueden ser muy cortos, cortos, medios, largos o los más largos, para lo cual el sacacorchos se ha dotado de dos brazos de apoyo en el borde superior del gollete de la botella, siendo ambos brazos de tamaños diferentes, a saber uno reducido y otro de longitud normal, estando el primero de estos brazos embutido en el segundo y sujetos ambos al cuerpo del sacacorchos por medio de un único punto de unión, y atravesados ambos por un mismo pasador que los afianza pivotablemente al cuerpo, de modo que cuando se realiza la penetración del corcho con la espiral del sacacorchos, se puede disponer de puntos de apoyo totalmente independientes dentro del mismo conjunto, sin que se trate de piezas separadas y sin apoyos o sujeciones también separadas, encontrándose ambos brazos en el mismo espacio, y permitiendo que la espiral penetre en el corcho hasta donde se desee, ajustando esta penetración a la longitud del tapón y sin que traspasar completamente a éste si no desea.The solution to the stated need has been provided by the corkscrew of the present invention, through which it is possible to perform the corking in a really effective way in any type of situation, and in the presence of caps whose sizes can be very short, short , medium, long or the longest, for which the corkscrew has been provided with two support arms on the upper edge of the neck of the bottle, both arms being of different sizes, namely one reduced and the other of normal length, being the first of these arms embedded in the second and both attached to the body of the corkscrew by means of a single point of attachment, and both crossed by the same pin that pivotably secures them to the body, so that when the cork is penetrated with the spiral of the corkscrew, totally independent support points can be provided within the same set, without being separate parts and without separate supports or fastenings, both arms being in the same space , and allowing the spiral to penetrate the cork as far as desired, adjusting this penetration to the length of the stopper and without completely passing through it if not desired.
Como consecuencia de la disposición del brazo corto alojado, o embutido, en el más largo, el tamaño del sacacorchos se reduce de manera efectiva en varios centímetros con respecto a los similares de la técnica actual, con lo que resulta ser un objeto fácilmente portable en un bolsillo por el usuario.As a consequence of the arrangement of the short arm housed, or embedded, in the longest one, the size of the corkscrew is effectively reduced by several centimeters with respect to the similar ones of the current technique, making it an easily portable object in one pocket per user.
Como se comprenderá, dependiendo de la longitud del corcho, se podrá optar por la utilización del brazo más corto o más largo. El accionamiento del cuerpo del sacacorchos en su movimiento de acercamiento a la botella para apoyar el brazo elegido, hace que el otro brazo, según corresponda, se separe automáticamente de la botella, dejando el espacio libre para la fácil manipulación del conjunto. Esta característica se explicará con mayor detalle en lo que sigue.As will be understood, depending on the length of the cork, you can choose to use the shorter or longer arm. The actuation of the body of the corkscrew in its movement of approach to the bottle to support the chosen arm, makes the other arm, as appropriate, automatically separate from the bottle, leaving the space free for easy handling of the whole. This feature will be explained in more detail in what follows.
Por otra parte, la invención ha previsto que el cuerpo del sacacorchos incorpore, como se ha dicho, medios descap- suladores, que con preferencia consistirán en pequeñas porciones curvas, biseladas, integrales con el cuerpo, realizadas en una escotadura en arco de círculo prevista en una parte de dicho cuerpo. La disposición de estas porciones, junto con la propia configuración y dimensionado de la citada escotadura, hacen que la operación de descapsulado resulte limpia, cómoda, rápida y eficaz.On the other hand, the invention has provided that the body of the corkscrew incorporates, as mentioned, descaling means, which preferably will consist of small curved, beveled portions, integral with the body, made in a circle arc cutout provided in a part of said body. The arrangement of these portions, together with the configuration and dimensioning of the aforementioned cut-out, make the decapsulation operation It is clean, comfortable, fast and effective.

Descripción de la Realización PreferidaDescription of Preferred Embodiment
Según se ha expuesto en lo que antecede, la descripción detallada de la realización preferida de la invención va a ser llevada a cabo con la utilización de las Figuras de los dibujos anexos, a través de las cuales se han utilizado las mismas referencias numéricas para designar las partes iguales o semejantes. Así, atendiendo en primer lugar a la Figura 1 de los dibujos, puede apreciarse la representación, en perspectiva, de un sacacorchos construido de acuerdo con la invención, en el que se distingue un cuerpo (1) formado por un elemento longitudinal, rígido, preferentemente metálico, a modo de perfil en "C", a cuyas paredes laterales opuestas de ha articulado, mediante un pasador (3), en las proximidades de uno de los extremos, un elemento (2) de espiral, de tipo convencional, destinado a ser clavado en el corcho mediante un movimiento giratorio idéntico al que se realiza con cualquier otro sacacorchos conocido; en ese mismo extremo mencionado aparecen articulados dos brazos (4, 5), mediante un mismo eje (6) y por tanto en una sola posición, de los que un brazo (4) es de longitud considerablemente menor que el otro brazo (5), disponiendo ambos brazos citados de extremos escalonados para su acoplamiento más fácil al borde superior del gollete de la botella portadora del corcho a extraer, y de los que uno de los brazos , en particular el más corto (4 ) , es de anchura ligeramente menor y se encuentra embutido o alojado en el espacio interior del otro brazo (5), disponiendo este último de una amplia abertura a través de la cual puede pasar el más corto. Además, el cuerpo (1) se ha dotado de medios destinados al descapsulado fácil de la botella, consistiendo tales medios en dos pequeñas porciones (7) ligeramente sobresalientes, realizadas sobre el perfil de una escotadura en arco de círculo realizada en una de las paredes laterales del cuerpo. La porción (8) correspondientemente enfrentada de la pared opuesta, se mantiene intacta de modo que en la operación de descapsulado sirve como tope para el borde superior de la botella, de modo que es la propia anchura del cuerpo (1) la que define la distancia a la que se realiza el corte sobre la cápsula de la botella.As stated above, the detailed description of the preferred embodiment of the invention will be carried out using the Figures of the attached drawings, through which the same numerical references have been used to designate the same or similar parts. Thus, looking firstly at Figure 1 of the drawings, the perspective representation of a corkscrew constructed according to the invention can be seen, in which a body (1) formed by a longitudinal, rigid element is distinguished, preferably metallic, as a "C" profile, to whose opposite side walls it has been articulated, by means of a pin (3), in the close to one of the ends, a spiral element (2), of the conventional type, intended to be nailed to the cork by means of a rotary movement identical to that carried out with any other known corkscrew; At that same mentioned end two arms (4, 5) are articulated, by means of the same axis (6) and therefore in a single position, of which one arm (4) is considerably shorter in length than the other arm (5) , both arms mentioned having stepped ends for easier coupling to the upper edge of the neck of the bottle carrying the cork to be extracted, and of which one of the arms, in particular the shorter one (4), is slightly smaller in width and it is embedded or housed in the interior space of the other arm (5), the latter having a wide opening through which the shortest can pass. Furthermore, the body (1) has been provided with means intended for easy decapsulation of the bottle, such means consisting of two small portions (7) slightly protruding, made on the profile of a circle arc cutout made in one of the walls sides of the body. The correspondingly opposite portion (8) of the opposite wall is kept intact so that in the decap operation it serves as a stop for the upper edge of the bottle, so that it is the width of the body (1) itself that defines the distance at which the cut is made on the bottle capsule.
El diseño de que se ha dotado al conjunto de sacacorchos que se está describiendo, permite una reducción considerable de dimensiones (del orden de algunos centímetros con respecto a los sacacorchos similares), en virtud de la articulación de ambos brazos en el mismo punto y la posibilidad de alojamiento, en estado de cerrado del sacacorchos, del más corto (4) en el interior del más largo (5), permitiendo además que el cuerpo (1) pueda presentar una forma ergonómica que permita un perfecto agarre por parte del usuario para su más fácil manejo.The design of the corkscrew assembly that is being described has allowed a considerable reduction in dimensions (of the order of a few centimeters with respect to similar corkscrews), due to the articulation of both arms at the same point and the possibility of housing, in the closed state of the corkscrew, the shortest (4) inside the longest (5), also allowing the body (1) to present an ergonomic shape that allows a perfect grip by the user for easier handling.
Con referencia a la Figura 2, se observa la representa- ción de una vista en alzado del sacacorchos de la invención aplicado a una botella cuyo cuello (9) dispone del corcho (10) a ser extraído. En esta Figura aparece la espiral (2) introducida en el corcho (10) . Además, dicho corcho ha sido representado con línea discontinua y se ha elegido con una longitud considerable con el fin de poder entender más fácilmente las diversas operaciones que intervienen en una secuencia completa de extracción, habiéndose representado dicha secuencia en las Figuras 3 a 6.With reference to Figure 2, the representation of an elevation view of the corkscrew of the invention applied to a bottle whose neck (9) has the cork (10) to be extracted is observed. In this figure the spiral (2) inserted in the cork (10) appears. Furthermore, said cork has been represented with a dashed line and has been chosen with a considerable length in order to be able to understand more easily the various operations involved in a complete extraction sequence, said sequence having been represented in Figures 3 to 6.
En efecto, una vez introducida la espiral como muestra la Figura 2, la fase siguiente para la extracción de un corcho (10) consiste en apoyar el brazo (4) más corto, aprovechando el escalonamiento de su extremo libre, sobre el borde del cuello (9) de la botella, en cuyo momento la posición del sacacorchos será la representada en la FiguraIndeed, once the spiral has been introduced as shown in Figure 2, the next phase for the extraction of a cork (10) consists of supporting the shorter arm (4), taking advantage of the staggering of its free end, on the edge of the neck (9) of the bottle, at which time the position of the corkscrew will be as shown in Figure
3. Sujetando la botella adecuadamente con una mano y aplicando un esfuerzo de tracción en sentido ascendente con la otra mano, con aprovechamiento del efecto de palanca proporcionado por tal apoyo, se produce la extracción del corcho hasta una posición similar a la mostrada en la Figura3. Holding the bottle properly with one hand and applying an upward traction effort with the other hand, taking advantage of the lever effect provided by such support, the cork is extracted to a position similar to that shown in the Figure
4. Se comprenderá que si dicho corcho (10) es de un tamaño corto o muy corto, este movimiento será suficiente para extraerlo completamente, terminando aquí la operación de extracción, con la sola utilización del brazo (4) más corto.4. It will be understood that if said cork (10) is of a short or very short size, this movement will be sufficient to extract it completely, ending the extraction operation here, with the sole use of the shorter arm (4).
Sin embargo, cuando se trata de un corcho (10) cuya longitud es mayor y por tanto esta primera operación no es suficiente para la extracción del mismo, se procederá a aprovechar el segundo apoyo, de mayor altura, proporcionado por el brazo (5) más largo. Para ello, una vez terminada la primera operación de extracción y con el conjunto en la posición mostrada en dicha Figura 4, bastará con hacer descender el cuerpo (1) para que el brazo más corto, arrastrado por el propio cuerpo, se separe automáticamente del cuello de la botella, y se pueda aplicar en su lugar el brazo (5) más largo, con aprovechamiento del escalonamiento de su extremo libre, como muestra la Figura 5 de los dibujos. En esta situación bastará con aplicar una tracción ascendente adecuada sobre el cuerpo (1) para pasar a la posición de la Figura 6 y por tanto a la extracción total del corcho.However, when it comes to a cork (10) whose length is greater and therefore this first operation is not sufficient for its extraction, we will proceed to take advantage of the second support, of greater height, provided by the arm (5) longer. To do this, once the first extraction operation and with the assembly in the position shown in said Figure 4, it will be enough to lower the body (1) so that the shorter arm, dragged by the body itself, automatically separates from the neck of the bottle, and can apply in its place the longest arm (5), taking advantage of the staggering of its free end, as shown in Figure 5 of the drawings. In this situation, it will be enough to apply a suitable upward pull on the body (1) to move to the position of Figure 6 and therefore to the total extraction of the cork.
De lo que antecede se desprende claramente que la concepción del sacacorchos de la invención permite una utilización cómoda y simple del mismo, con independencia del tipo de corcho de que se trate. Además, la provisión de un único eje (6) de articulación para ambos brazos (4, 5) con el cuerpo (1), permite la disposición de medios de arrastre relativo de modo que cuando se efectúa alguna operación de acoplamiento o movimiento del cuerpo (1), el brazo que no está siendo utilizado se mueve simultáneamente con el cuerpo, apartándose del espacio de aplicación y sin representar por ello obstáculo alguno para la manipulación del conjunto. Por último, se comprenderá también que la disposi- ción de brazos embutidos permiten que, en la posición de sacacorchos cerrado, ambos brazos queden adaptados al cuerpo (1), con la espiral (2) en el interior de éste, ocupando por tanto un espacio mínimo que lo hace especialmente indicado para su transporte por parte del usuario, en un bolsillo o en cualquier otro lugar.From the above it is clear that the conception of the corkscrew of the invention allows a comfortable and simple use thereof, regardless of the type of cork in question. Furthermore, the provision of a single articulation axis (6) for both arms (4, 5) with the body (1), allows the relative drag means to be arranged so that when any coupling operation or movement of the body is carried out (1), the arm that is not being used moves simultaneously with the body, moving away from the application space and without representing any obstacle for the manipulation of the whole. Lastly, it will also be understood that the arrangement of recessed arms allows, in the closed corkscrew position, both arms to be adapted to the body (1), with the spiral (2) inside it, thus occupying a minimum space that makes it especially suitable for transport by the user, in a pocket or anywhere else.
No se considera necesario hacer más extenso el contenido de esta descripción para que un experto en la materia pueda comprender su alcance y las ventajas derivadas de la invención, así como .desarrollar y llevar a la práctica el objeto de la misma.It is not considered necessary to extend the content of this description for a person skilled in the art to understand its scope and the advantages derived from the invention, as well as to develop and put into practice the object of the same.
No obstante, debe entenderse que la invención ha sido descrita según una realización preferida de la misma, por lo que puede ser susceptible de modificaciones sin que ello suponga alteración alguna del fundamento de dicha invención, pudiendo afectar tales modificaciones, especialmente, a la forma, al tamaño y/o a los materiales de fabricación. However, it should be understood that the invention has been described according to a preferred embodiment thereof, so it may be subject to modifications without this involving any alteration of the basis of said invention, such modifications being able to affect, especially, the form, to the size and / or the manufacturing materials.
