“OPENER” | MODEL CONSTRUCTION

Among the usual glass jars with canned products now on the beds shops in abundance are the so-called “eurobank”, characterized not so much by its form, as the fact that they cover not rolled, and screwed. And if by the usual banks have long been developed and widely used in everyday life for opening a variety of can openers, screw-down for almost anything not provided.

Without “sarcastic”

But sometimes the screw cap so stick that remove them just with your hands (which is obvious, and I expect their producers) there is no possibility of even putting a very big effort. Many are forced to “podkovyrnut” a cover of something (the bowl with a knife or screwdriver) to break the current of her under excessive vacuum, and thus to facilitate the unscrewing. However, this opening is fraught with the shearing edge of the banks, and getting small pieces of glass inside that makes the product unsuitable for use.

It makes sense to have in the kitchen Arsenal of a simple device (let’s call it also simply “opener”), which will facilitate the unscrewing of the “stuck” screw caps.

We offer kitchen tool looks like a famous Nutcracker, only a few large sizes. Indeed, the principle of operation and device “bottle openers” in common with the Nutcracker. She also has two interconnected lever joined at one end by a hinge, allowing them to breed to clamp them to the cover. Short levers are rotated counterclockwise hear a distinctive cotton razgermetizatsii cover and it easily separates from the banks.

Manufacturer

Despite the fact that eurobank and come in different sizes — and hence different covers — our device can cope with all that is it is universal.

Take a couple of boards or plywood plasek length and width 260×43 mm and thickness 10 — 15 mm. Put them close to flush and draw two circles corresponding to the size of a standard eurobank one with a diameter of 84 mm, and the other 60 mm. are Cut by marking the two holes.

For whom will be difficult to round holes instead of the circles to be placed on each arm and cut the two triangular grooves, with bases equal to these diameters will get a variant rendition of “openers”. The principle of operation remains the same as with round holes.

A universal device for opening screw caps eurobank:

1 — handle tool; 2 — the noose (leather belt or braid); 3 — hinge mount (screws or nails); 4 — big and small holes cover

The only difference is that with application of an excessive force on the levers they can slightly deform the edge of the banks.

To increase grip with lids edges of round holes can be covered with strips of thin rubber (for example, from medical flat harness) or just several layers of coated rubber adhesive.

At one end the levers are connected (with a small offset from each other) leather strap or a solid braid is a kind of hinge or hinge, providing free girth levers of the circumference of the cover. And with the other end each lever has a bevel, performing the role of tool handles.

Finish

As the “opener” will continue to work without gloves (although neat Housewives prefer to carry them, and only them, taking care of the skin of the hands), in the procurement of arms and after cutting out the hole you need to carefully handle the surface and edges of the skins with decreasing grain size to not be afraid of splinters and injuries. Then if you want you can paint the tool, or to cover it with paint. But it is enough just to handle the levers prior to Assembly natural linseed oil or wax compound for the polishing of furniture; this method allows not only to protect the wood surface, but also to highlight her natural figure, revealed by the grinding.
