Plastic bottle opener

Abstract

To provide a plastic bottle opener that allows a cap of a plastic bottle to be opened with light force and closed with moderate force when it is difficult to open.SOLUTION: A plastic bottle opener of the present invention comprises an angled wedge 2 provided on a cylindrical attachment 1 and includes an extendable lever 3 that can be adjusted using the principle of a lever. It comprises the attachment that is attached to a lid of a plastic bottle, the extendable lever connected to the attachment, and several wedges mounted at an angle on the attachment. The wedges can also use standard tapping screws. When opening a cap, a tip of the wedge pierces an outer circumference of the cap, allowing a grip with greater force. This enables stable opening without slipping. When closing the cap, a threaded portion on a side of the wedge provides resistance and slipping occurs with greater force, allowing closure with moderate force.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 2

Description

[Technical Field]

[0001] The present invention relates to a tool that can reliably turn and open a lid of a plastic bottle with a small amount of force. [Background technology]

[0002] Conventionally, PET bottle caps are designed to be opened by twisting the cap by hand. [Prior art documents] [Patent documents]

[0003] [Patent Document 1] Patent Publication No. 2021-142986 Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]

[0004] This has the following drawbacks. Conventionally, PET bottle caps have been closed with enough force to be opened by hand. However, this force is the average force of an average adult, and it can be difficult for people with weaker strength, such as children, the elderly, the sick, and the disabled, to open. Also, if your hands are sweaty or wet, the cap becomes slippery despite the uneven grooves, making it difficult to open. Also, if too much force is used when closing the bottle, it becomes difficult to open. The present invention was made to eliminate these drawbacks. [Means for solving the problem]

[0005] The plastic bottle opener of the present invention has the above-mentioned structure, which includes an attachment that is attached to the lid of the plastic bottle, an extendable lever connected to the attachment, and a wedge attached at an angle to the attachment. [Effects of the Invention]

[0006] The extendable lever allows you to adjust the length of the lever and apply a small amount of force to rotate the bottle, using the principle of leverage. The wedge attached to the attachment also penetrates the bottle cap at an acute angle, allowing it to grip and secure even when wet. Conversely, when closing the bottle, the wedge hooks onto the shallow grooves on the side of the obtuse-angled wedge, which can easily slip if you apply too much force. Therefore, you can tighten the bottle with less force than when closing, making it easier to open. [Brief explanation of the drawings]

[0008] The following describes the mode for carrying out the present invention. A wedge is placed at an angle on the circumference of a cylindrical attachment. The attachment has an extendable rod-like lever that can be adjusted to use the principle of leverage. The present invention has the above structure. To use the present invention, hold the plastic bottle, insert the attachment into the lid, and squeeze and turn the lever. [Example]

[0009] Figure 1 is a perspective view of an embodiment of the present invention, in which a plastic bottle opener is attached to the lid of a plastic bottle, and by holding the plastic bottle in one hand and gripping the lever of the plastic bottle opener with the other hand, the wedge bites into the lid, and then rotating it, the lid can be opened without slipping. Conversely, when tightening the lid, the angle of the wedge causes it to slip due to the shallow unevenness on the side of the wedge, so it can be tightened with a moderate amount of force.
