A device for storing wine corks in the form of a prefabricated volumetric figure

Abstract

This utility model relates to devices for storing, displaying, and collecting wine corks, specifically to structures for forming three-dimensional decorative compositions, such as wreaths, stylized Christmas trees, or other geometric shapes. The device comprises a flexible frame and shaped elements threaded onto the frame by passing the frame through central openings in the elements. Each shaped element is designed as a block with sharp, rigid ends protruding from the center, forming axes for piercing the corks. The block is equipped with a central opening for threading onto the flexible frame. The frame is designed as a rod, the ends of which are connected to form a closed loop. The device can be additionally configured with second shaped elements in the form of hollow cylinders, positioned on the frame between the first elements. The technical result consists of expanding the range of means for storing, displaying, and collecting wine corks.

Description

[0001] Technical field

[0002] The utility model relates to devices for storing, organizing and displaying collectibles, as well as to interior decor elements, and can be used to create thematic compositions in domestic and commercial premises.

[0003] Technology Level

[0004] Various devices for storing and displaying collections are known, such as shelves, display cases, stands, and albums. The disadvantage of such devices is their static nature and limited decorative potential. They typically serve a purely utilitarian storage function, preventing the creation of a three-dimensional composition from the collectibles themselves.

[0005] Also known are decorative wreaths and frame structures for hanging items (US 3046685 A), comprising a flexible frame and hanging elements. A drawback of these known solutions is the lack of specialized shaped elements with protruding ends for securing collectibles, particularly wine corks.

[0006] Disclosure of Utility Model

[0007] The problem that the claimed utility model is aimed at solving is the creation of a device that allows the formation of a three-dimensional composition for storing, displaying and collecting wine corks.

[0008] The technical result consists in expanding the arsenal of means for storing, displaying and collecting collectibles.

[0009] The essence of the utility model is that the device comprises a flexible frame and molded elements. Each molded element is designed as a block with sharp, rigid ends protruding from the center, forming axes for piercing corks. Said block is equipped with a central hole for threading onto the flexible frame. The frame is designed as a rod, the ends of which are connected to form a closed loop.

[0020] Implementation of a utility model

[0021] The device comprises a flexible frame (Fig. 5) and a plurality of shaped elements (Figs. 1-4) strung onto the frame by passing the frame through the central holes of the elements.

[0022] The frame is made in the form of a flexible rod, the ends of which are equipped with a loop connection that can be twisted, forming a closed system (ring, horseshoe). The frame is equipped with a hanging element.

[0023] The shaped elements can be made in a variety of options, including twisted wire blocks (Fig. 1, 2), cast parts with branches (Fig. 3, 4) and decorative spacers (Fig. 6, 7), which allows you to create a variety of three-dimensional compositions, such as wreaths (Fig. 8, 9), stylized trees or abstract sculptures.

[0024] The first mold element (Fig. 1-4) is made in the form of a block with sharp, rigid ends protruding from the center, forming axes for piercing corks. The block is equipped with a central hole for threading onto a flexible frame.

[0025] The device can be additionally equipped with second molded elements (Figs. 6, 7), positioned on the frame between the first elements. The second molded element is a hollow cylinder with a through-hole for threading onto the frame. Unlike the first element, the second element does not have protruding ends for threading corks. The presence of the second elements is not necessary for the device to perform its primary function.

[0026] Application option (not a technical feature)

[0027] The device can be used in a scenario where the user, over a period of time (e.g., a year), successively threads corks from consumed drinks onto the protruding ends of the molded elements. At the end of the period, the assembled composition clearly demonstrates the volume and variety of drinks consumed (thanks to the prints, shape, texture, and color of the corks) and can serve as a themed decorative element. This application is not related to the technical result and is not included in the utility model claims.
