Description

A stopper of wine bottle The present invention relates to a wine bottle stopper, and more specifically, to a wine bottle stopper that replaces a cork stopper when a wine bottle is sealed and stored after the cork stopper sealing the wine bottle is initially opened using a wine opener, thereby preventing the wine from spoiling and leaking out. Various types of alcohol are sold on the market, and among them, wine is an alcoholic beverage made by fermenting grape juice. As it is recognized as a premium drink the longer it is aged, it is slowly aged over 10 to 20 years, because long-term aging allows the wine to acquire complex flavors. Wine in a bottle ages further over time; to facilitate this aging process, the bottle is initially sealed using a cork stopper to prevent the wine from coming into contact with outside air. When a wine bottle is first opened, the cork stopper that originally sealed the bottle is separated from the bottle using a specialized tool called a wine opener; however, the separated cork stopper expands and cannot be used again as a sealing element to reseal the bottle. In particular, since wine deteriorates as it comes into contact with outside air once opened, if wine remains in an opened bottle, a standard stopper is used to seal it; however, conventional stoppers cannot completely block contact between the remaining wine and the outside air, which presents a problem in that the wine cannot be stored for a long time. Therefore, it is necessary to develop a wine bottle stopper that prevents the wine from spoiling by blocking contact with outside air when resealing an opened wine bottle. The present invention addresses the aforementioned problems and needs, and proposes a technology regarding a wine bottle stopper that replaces a cork stopper to prevent wine spoilage and leakage when the wine bottle is sealed again for storage after the initial opening using a wine opener. The following are prior art related to this. FIG. 1 is an overall configuration diagram of the present invention. FIG. 2 is a detailed configuration diagram and operation example diagram of the present invention. An embodiment of the present invention as described above will be explained in detail with reference to the attached drawings. The wine bottle stopper of the present invention (hereinafter the present invention) is an invention that provides the effect of preventing the deterioration and external leakage of wine by replacing the cork stopper when the wine bottle is sealed and stored after the cork stopper is first opened using a wine opener, thereby enabling the wine to be stored in the wine bottle for a long period of time. As shown in FIG. 1, it is characterized by being composed of a stopper body (100), a sealing member (200), and a traction cord (300). Specifically, the wine bottle stopper of the present invention, as shown in FIG. 1, A cylindrical stopper body (100) with an open bottom to seal the outer edge of the neck opening of a wine bottle to prevent wine from leaking out; A cylindrical sealing member (200) with a closed lower end, formed on the inner side of the stopper body (100) and inserted into the inner side of the neck opening of the wine bottle to prevent the wine from leaking out; It is characterized by including a traction cord (300) with a loop (310) that the user pulls to separate the wine bottle stopper from the wine bottle. The above stopper body (100) is configured in a cylindrical shape with an open bottom to seal the outer area of the neck opening of the wine bottle to prevent the wine from leaking out. When sealing a wine bottle using the wine bottle stopper of the present invention, the inner surface of the stopper body (100) comes into contact with the outer area of the neck opening of the wine bottle, as shown in FIG. 2, thereby preventing the wine from leaking out and simultaneously blocking the inflow of external air, so that the wine contained in the wine bottle does not come into contact with external air. In addition, the plug body (100) is characterized by having a through hole (110) formed on the upper surface through which a traction line (300) passes, as shown in FIG. 2, and a connecting bar receiving groove (120) formed on the inner side of the upper surface so as to accommodate a portion of the upper part of the spring connecting bar (220) of the sealing member (200). A traction cord (300) is connected to a sealing member (200) to allow the user to easily separate the wine bottle stopper of the present invention from the wine bottle, and the traction cord (300) connected to the sealing member (200) passes through the through hole (110) formed on the upper surface of the stopper body (100). The above connecting bar receiving groove (120) is formed on the inner side of the upper surface of the stopper body (100) so that a portion of the upper part of the spring connecting bar (220) of the sealing member (200) can be received. As shown in FIG. 2, when a user pulls the tra
