bolt opener

Abstract

To provide a tool for opening a cap by the movement of one or both hands, which can easily open a lid of a PET bottle even under the condition of muscle weakness due to aging or the like. [Solution] Presser plate 1 and presser plate 2 are sandwiched between a polygon with two parallel sides and finger holes, and one end of each is movably connected to each other, and V-shaped notches are made facing each other near the joint between presser plates 1 and 2, and a U-shaped groove with two side walls that extends all the way to presser plate 2 is attached or not attached to the end of presser plate 1 that is not connected, and a rod that extends all the way to presser plate 1 is attached or not attached to the end of presser plate 2 that is not connected, and one or several finger holes are opened near each of the not connected ends, and multiple fingers of one hand are inserted into the finger holes and the fingers are opened and closed to hold the plastic bottle cap in the V-shaped notch, and the plastic bottle body is held with the other hand, and the cap can be opened by moving one or both hands.

Description

[Technical Field]

[0001] This relates to a tool that can easily open the cap of a plastic bottle. [Background technology]

[0002] As we age, our muscles weaken, making it difficult to open even a plastic bottle cap. Many tools have been invented and designed to make it easier to open a plastic bottle cap, but none of them are the type that make the caps fit by rotating two parts around a fulcrum, and the holding part and gripping part are on the same side of the fulcrum.

[0004] To increase the options for tools that can easily open PET bottle caps even in situations where muscle strength has decreased due to aging, etc. [Means for solving the problem]

[0005] A tool in which one end of pressure plate 1 and pressure plate 2 sandwiched between polygons having two parallel sides with finger holes bored therein are movably connected, and V-shaped notches are provided facing each other near the joint between pressure plates 1 and 2, and a U-shaped groove with two side walls extending up to pressure plate 2 is attached or not attached to the end of pressure plate 1 that is not connected, and a rod extending up to pressure plate 1 is attached or not attached to the end of pressure plate 2 that is not connected, and one or more finger holes are bored near each of the not connected ends, and multiple fingers of one hand are inserted into the finger holes and by opening and closing the fingers, a plastic bottle cap is held in the V-shaped notch, and the plastic bottle body is held with the other hand, allowing the cap to be opened by the movement of one or both hands. [Effects of the Invention]

[0006] The opener of this invention can be flexibly manufactured in various shapes according to the user's needs. By attaching a U-shaped groove with side walls and a rod, the excessive degree of freedom of the two pressure plates caused by the hinge structure is suppressed, making it easier to operate. [Brief explanation of the drawings]

[0007] [Figure 1] FIG. 1 is a perspective view of one embodiment of the opener of the present invention, which does not have a U-shaped groove with side walls and a rod. [Figure 2] 1 is a perspective view of an embodiment of the opener of the present invention, which has a U-shaped groove with side walls and a rod. DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0008] The clamping plate of the opener of this invention can be made of burnt cedar, but the material is not limited to burnt cedar. The hinge of the opener of this invention can be made of commercially available stainless steel hardware, but the material is not limited to stainless steel. The U-shaped gutter with side walls can be made of bamboo, but the material is not limited to bamboo. The stick can be made of paulownia wood, but the material is not limited to paulownia. [Example]

[0009] Two 1.5cm thick hexagonal cedar planks measuring 32cm, 4cm, 2.1cm, 30cm, 2.1cm, and 4cm were cut into each board, each with a 3cm wide, 1.5cm deep V-shaped notch. One plank had a 3cm diameter finger hole, and the other had two finger holes of the same diameter. The rectangular planks, measuring 4cm and 1.5cm, closest to the notch were connected with a hinge to create the bottle opener of this invention. It was confirmed that this bottle opener could easily open the cap of an unopened plastic bottle by inserting three fingers of one hand through the finger holes. [Example]

[0010] A 3cm wide, 1.5cm deep V-shaped notch was made into a five-sided 1.5cm thick cedar board measuring 32cm, 4cm, 2.1cm, 31cm, and 5cm, with one finger hole measuring 2.8cm in diameter. A 3cm wide, 1.5cm deep V-shaped notch was made into a five-sided 1.5cm thick cedar board measuring 31.5cm, 4cm, 2.1cm, 30.5cm, and 5cm, with two 2.8cm diameter finger holes drilled and the board was charred. The 4cm and 1.5cm rectangular faces closest to the notches were connected with a hinge. A U-shaped groove with side walls cut from bamboo with an outer diameter of 2.8cm and a length of 10cm was attached to the non-hinge end of the pressure board with one finger hole, and a 1.5cm diameter, 10cm long paulownia stick was attached to the non-hinge end of the pressure board with two finger holes, to create the bottle opener of this invention. It was confirmed that this opener can easily open the cap of an unopened plastic bottle by inserting three fingers of one hand through the finger holes. [Industrial Applicability]

[0011] The opener of this invention is expected to be in demand in homes, nursing homes, accommodation facilities, convenience stores, etc.

Claims

[Claim 1] The tool has two polygonal pressure plates (1 and 2) sandwiched between them by two parallel sides with finger holes bored therein, one end of which is movably connected to the other, and V-shaped notches are provided facing each other near the joint between the pressure plates (1 and 2), a U-shaped groove with two side walls extending up to the pressure plate (2) may or may not be attached to the end of the pressure plate (1) that is not connected, and a rod extending up to the pressure plate (1) may or may not be attached to the end of the pressure plate (2) that is not connected, and one or several finger holes are bored near each of the not connected ends, and by inserting multiple fingers of one hand into the finger holes and opening and closing the fingers, the cap of a plastic bottle is held in the V-shaped notch, and the plastic bottle body is held with the other hand, and the cap can be opened by moving one or both hands.
