Abstract
Foil cutting device for cutting a sealing foil of a bottle. This foil cutting device is of the type which is positioned from above on the bottle. To that end a cutting device is provided with a stop determining the distance between the free extremity of the bottle and the cutting knives. The foil cutting device comprises two side portions and an upper portion connecting the side portions being integral with the side portions. In this way and elastically pivoting structure results, such that foil material can be cut with a lot of feeling. Between the side portions an opening is delimited and on one of the side portions a cavity for fingers is provided so that it is clear for the user in which direction a pinching force should be exerted for cutting the foil. The cutting knives are conically flared to a plane embodied such that after cutting the resilient foil material is run up by the cutting knives and can easily be removed.
