Wine Opener with Interior Threads

The industry-standard corkscrew has numerous flaws resulting in broken corks—even in the hands of a professional. The present invention is a radical departure from the traditional corkscrew apparatus. The opener generally consists of the handle and an internally threaded half-pipe. The half-pipe slides between the cork and the bottle, wherein the series of threads engage the cork. Rotating the handle causes the threads to bore deeper into the neck of the bottle until the handles meets the lip of the bottle, and then lift the cork out of the bottle until it disengages and falls away from the opener. It should be appreciated that the elegance of the opener resides in its simplicity.

Device for sealing means removal from bottles

FIELD: hand- or power-operated devices for opening closed containers, particularly to remove sealing means made of resilient plastic elastomeric material from neck of bottle or another glass container. SUBSTANCE: device comprises nozzle to direct compressed air flow and to provide predetermined compressed air flow velocity and nozzle orienting post. Sealing means is removed from bottle under the action of pressure drop in compressed air jet due to aerodynamic effect of compressed air flow constriction in the jet, which is caused by neck streamlining with air flow or by presence of corresponding convex surface opposite to sealing means. EFFECT: improved sterility and increased operational simplicity. 29 cl, 12 dwg ÐÎÑÑÈÉÑÊÀß ÔÅÄÅÐÀÖÈß (19) RU (11) 2 285 658 (13) C2 (51) ÌÏÊ B67B 7/00 (2006.01) ÔÅÄÅÐÀËÜÍÀß ÑËÓÆÁÀ ÏÎ ÈÍÒÅËËÅÊÒÓÀËÜÍÎÉ ÑÎÁÑÒÂÅÍÍÎÑÒÈ, ÏÀÒÅÍÒÀÌ È ÒÎÂÀÐÍÛÌ ÇÍÀÊÀÌ (12) ÎÏÈÑÀÍÈÅ ÈÇÎÁÐÅÒÅÍÈß Ê ÏÀÒÅÍÒÓ (21), (22) Çà âêà: 2003136758/12, 14.06.2002 (72) Àâòîð(û): ÐÈÁÈ Ãóèäî (CH) (24) Äàòà íà÷àëà îòñ÷åòà ñðîêà äåéñòâè ïàòåíòà: 14.06.2002 (73) Ïàòåíòîîáëàäàòåëü(è): ÐÈÁÈ ÏÀÊÊ Ñ.Ï.À.
