Abstract:
A corkscrew, comprising an external tubular body having a mouth forming a support over a bottle; a spiral introducible into a cork when rotating the corkscrew; support means for supporting said spiral; said support means including a tubular part housed in said external tubular body so as to be longitudinally displaceable and actuating means for raising said spiral and removing the cork, said actuating means including a toothing provided on said tubular body, an arm having a lower end engageable with and disengageable from said toothing and an upper end, and a lever pivotably connected with said tubular body and also pivotably connected with said upper end of said arm and pivotable toward and away from said tubular body, so as to provide step-by-step an engagement of said lower end of said arm with said toothing, a disengagement of said lower arm with said toothing, and a subsequent engagement of said lower end of said arm from said toothing at a greater height to impart an ascending movement to said support means and thereby to said spiral for removing the cork.
