Abstract:
A safe and quick bottle opener for removing a cork stopper, comprising:a syringe which is a hollow cylindrical structure that has a front end with a needle seat fixedly provided with a suitably long needle, and a rear end with a rotary cap that seals an opening of the syringe, the front end of the syringe being provided with at least one through air vent; a slide sleeve having an internal diameter similar to the external diameter of the syringe such that the slide sleeve can be sleeved on the syringe and both can freely rotate relative to each other, the front end of the slide sleeve being provided with an abutting seat which is sized to match the opening of most bottles and which is adapted to cover and abut against the bottle opening to help position the bottle opener; a refrigerant can which is an air can filled with a stable, non-toxic gas at high pressure, and which is disposed in the hollow interior of the syringe such that a nozzle of the refrigerant can abut against the needle seat from inside, and the refrigerant can projects a certain distance from the syringe; and a needle cover having a total length slightly longer than that of the syringe and two ends provided with flanges, the center of the first flange being provided with an inner thread for engaging an outer thread of the needle seat and abutting against the periphery of the syringe to stabilize the needle cover; the diameter of the second flange being equivalent to that of the abutting seat, whereby when the components are assembled, the needle of the syringe can be received within the slide sleeve to form a neat and safe structure for convenient carrying.
