Description

DESCRIPTION

Opening accessory

TECHNICAL SECTOR

The present invention refers to an opening accessory configured to facilitate the opening of so-called "Italian" style coffee makers and other cans, it is an accessory for the kitchen, especially domestic.

STATE OF THE ART

The use of tools to open cans and other elements is known in the state of the art. In general, they allow you to hold the lid firmly in order to make a great effort. Systems are also known to break the vacuum present in canning cans, facilitating opening.

These solutions are not as effective as is desirable, since the lid is usually thin and therefore difficult to hold, they do not take into account the possible temperature of the pot (especially in coffee makers), and other similar defects.

The applicant does not know of any solution to these problems as effective as the one claimed.

BRIEF EXPLANATION OF THE INVENTION

The invention consists of an opening accessory according to the independent claim.

This opening accessory is based on a base with a larger face that includes means for fixing to a support surface and a second larger face with a grip for an object to be rotationally opened, such as a coffee maker to access the interior, change or add water or coffee.

For example, the fixing means may comprise one or more suction cups or a lower anti-slip layer.

In turn, the grip can be a polygonal inner flange, where one or more removable templates can be installed that can be nested in the flange that allow the shape and dimension of the grip to be modified. Likewise, the grip can be a grip layer, also non-slip.

Other particular solutions are included in the dependent claims and are described in detail below.

DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

To complement the description that is being made and in order to help a better understanding of the characteristics of the invention, a set of drawings is attached where, with an illustrative and non-limiting nature, the following has been represented.

Figure 1: schematic section of an embodiment of the invention.

MODES OF EMBODIMENT OF THE INVENTION

An embodiment of the invention will be briefly described below, as an illustrative and non-limiting example thereof.

The figures show some embodiments that start from a base (1), normally of little thickness to reduce the space it occupies. The base (1) has fixing means (2,3) to the support surface on a larger face. The fixing means (2,3) can be of various types, compatible with each other. The preferred one is one or more suction cups (2) on the perimeter of the base (1). These suction cups (2) have an actuator (21) that deforms the membrane (22) to produce suction or not.

A second way of making the fixing means (2,3) is an anti-slip layer (3) on the base (1), for example made of silicone. This non-slip layer (3) is preferably heat resistant and of low thermal transmissivity. This allows the base (1) to hold hot things, such as coffee makers, without transmitting heat to the support surface.

The base (1) has an upper face with a grip (4), which is normally the negative of the base of a coffee maker for which it is designed. The "Italian" type of coffee maker usually has a polygonal base (hexagonal, octagonal, decagonal .....) and its dimensions are similar depending on the number of cups of coffee you make. Thus, the grip (4), in these cases, is a flange (41) with a polygonal shape inside, thus defining a polygonal hole.

The grip (4) can also be a non-slip grip layer (42), for those boats that do not have the appropriate outer section.

In figure 2 an example of embodiment is shown in which the grip (4) comprises one or more templates (5) whose outer shape corresponds to the shape of the rim (41) or of the immediately superior template (5). The templates (5) can be closed, with their own floor, or open (figure 2).

In use, the accessory is placed on a smooth surface, such as a countertop. If you use suction cups (2) the actuator (21) is actuated to secure it. The object to be opened, normally a coffee pot, is placed in the grip (4) and the rotation can occur, since the lower part of the object is retained in the accessory. This can be used with a tightening tool on the cap. If the accessory has a grip layer (42), the object rests firmly on it, for example by using a little downward force.
