BELL CORK REMOVER

Abstract

Device for removing a cork from a bottle comprising an outer body that houses a plurality of mechanisms configured to move a needle, such that the needle comprises tabs in the tip, such that the tabs are configured to separate from the tip of the needle when said tip of the needle has passed through the cork in its entirety, such that the plurality of mechanisms comprises a horizontal bevel gear, two vertical bevel gears connected to the horizontal bevel gear, and a cogwheel joined axially to each vertical bevel gear, wherein the needle comprises two racks that are in contact with the cogwheels, such that the movement of the cogwheels moves the needle.

Claims

1. A device for removing a cork from a bottle, comprising an outer body that houses a plurality of mechanisms configured to move a needle, such that the needle comprises tabs in the tip, such that the tabs are configured to separate from the tip of the needle when said tip of the needle has passed through the cork in its entirety.

2. The device for removing a cork from a bottle according to claim 1, wherein the plurality of mechanisms comprises: a horizontal bevel gear; two vertical bevel gears connected to the horizontal bevel gear; and a cogwheel joined axially to each vertical bevel gear; wherein the needle comprises two racks that are in contact with the cogwheels, such that the movement of the cogwheels moves the needle.

3. The device for removing a cork from a bottle according to claim 1, wherein the outer body comprises a mobile upper casing, which acts as a support for the horizontal bevel gear and a fixed portion that acts as a support for the two vertical bevel gears.

4. The device for removing a cork from a bottle according to claim 1, wherein the needle in the tip comprises magnets and a hinge, such that the hinge comprises springs to facilitate the opening of the tabs, wherein the springs open when the rod presses with enough force to overcome the attraction of the magnets on the tabs.

5. The device for removing a cork from a bottle according to claim 1, wherein the needle comprises a hollow linear body which houses: a piston; a hydraulic chamber; and a metal rod; wherein the piston presses on the hydraulic chamber which in turn presses on the metal rod, such that the metal rod presses, in turn, on the tabs in order to overcome the force of the magnets and open the tabs.

6. The device for removing a cork from a bottle according to claim 5, comprising a button in the mobile upper casing connected to the piston housed in the needle.

7. The device for removing a cork from a bottle according to claim 1, comprising a support body configured to receive the end of a bottle where the cork is found, wherein the support body is situated on the hollow linear body between the tip of the needle and the racks.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0028] The object of the invention is a device for removing the cork from a bottle comprising an outer body that houses a plurality of mechanisms configured to move a needle (5) and introduce it into the cork, such that the tip (10) of the needle (5) has tabs (13) that separate from the tip of the needle (5) when said tip (10) of the needle (5) has passed through the cork in its entirety. Once the tabs (13) have been separated, the mechanisms move the needle (5) in the opposite direction, meaning towards the inside of the outer body, thus removing the cork from the bottle.

[0029] The plurality of mechanisms of the device object of the invention comprise: [0030] a horizontal bevel gear (6), [0031] two vertical bevel gears (16) connected to the horizontal bevel gear (6), and [0032] a cogwheel (4) joined axially to each vertical bevel gear (16).

[0033] With the previous configuration, the movement of the horizontal bevel gear (6) is transferred to the vertical bevel gears (16) which in turn move the two cogwheels (4), and the movement of the cogwheels (4) moves the needle (5), since said needle (5) comprises two racks (8) that are in contact with the cogwheels (4).

[0034] The outer body comprises a mobile upper casing (1), which acts as a support for the horizontal bevel gear (6) and a fixed portion (9) that acts as a support for the two vertical bevel gears (16).

[0035] A transition piece (3) is located between the horizontal bevel gear (6) and the mobile upper casing (1) joining the horizontal bevel gear (6) to the mobile upper casing (1), while the transition piece (3) is joined to a mobile shaft (12) by which the horizontal bevel gear (6) rotates.

[0036] The needle (5) of the device object of the invention comprises a hollow linear body (17) the inside of which houses a piston (11) tasked with pressing on a hydraulic chamber (not shown) located inside the hollow linear body (17) which in turn presses on a metal rod (not shown) that acts to open the tabs (13) situated in the tip (10) of the needle (5), as will be explained later in this specification.

[0037] In the mobile upper casing (1) of the device object of the invention there is a button (2) which is connected to the piston (11) housed in the needle (5).

[0038] The needle (5) has in the lower end thereof a system made up of the tabs (13), magnets (14) a hinge (15) and a tip. The hinge (15) consists of a cylinder that has springs to facilitate the opening of the tabs (13), the springs open upon feeling the pressure of the rod with enough force to overcome the attraction of the magnets (14) on the tabs (13) and assisted by the springs of the hinge (15).

[0039] The device object of the invention comprises a support body (7) situated on the hollow linear body (17) of the needle (5), such that the support body (17) is configured to receive the end of a bottle where the cork is found.

[0040] In the preferred embodiment of the device object of the invention the support body (7) is situated on the hollow linear body (17) between the tip (10) of the needle (5) and the racks (8).
