Complete Specification Accepted, 14th Dec., 1888
I, ISAAC KNIBB ROGERS, of Trowbridge, in the County of Wilts, Manufacturer, do
hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as follows:-
This invention relates to a novel construction or arrangement of cork extractor with
balanced bars pivotted in the stem and capable of being folded into recesses of the
stem as to be parallel therewith, one barb looking towards the point and the other
towards the hilt or cross bar and having a spring if necessary for ejecting it when
released from a tube by which a portion of the stem is enclosed and on which stem
the tube has a limited amount of play up and down the stem and round the stem for
locking the barbs close to the stem and for holding the tube clear such as by a bayonet
joint to whichever position the tube may be placed.
•
The two barbs have plenty of play on their pivot pin so that they readily adjust
themselves on the application of pressure to lie within their recesses provided for
them but which barbs when released project at right angles to the stem by the
impact of one of them against the bottom of the cork when the cork has to be
extracted.
I purpose using my double balanced barb and extractor with a hollow and dividable
handle, into which the stem can be inserted when removed and enclosed within the
handle, such as when the article has to be carried in the pocket, in which case I
provide the upper part of the stem with a saddle which when inserted into one
portion of the handle enables the stem to be turned at right angles with the
handle.
It is not compulsory to make the stem removable from the handle as it may be
fixed thereto.

do hereby declare the nature of this invention and in what manner the same is to be
performed to be particularly described and ascertained in and by the following
statement:-
This invention relates to a novel construction or arrangement of cork extractor,
such as I show in the annexed drawings, with balanced barbs a, b, pivotted in the
stem and capable of being folded into recesses of the stem as to be parallel there-
with, one barba looks towards the point d and the other towards the hilt or cross
bare and having a spring f, if necessary, for ejecting it when released from a tube g
by which a portion of the stem c is enclosed and on which stem, the tube y has a
limited amount of play up and down the stem and round the stem for locking the
barbs close to the stem and for holding the tube clear, such as by a bayonet joint to
whichever position the tube g may be placed.
The shank of the two barbs a, b, has an elongated hole to give plenty of play on
their pivot pin, so that they readily adjust themselves on the application of pressure to
lie within their recesses provided for them but which barbs when released project away
from the stem by the impact of one of them against the bottom of the cork when the
cork has to be extracted.
I purpose using my double balanced barb a, b, and extractor with a hollow and
dividable handle for insertion into the stem and when removed it can be used for
enclosing the stem, such as when the article has to be carried in the pocket, in which
case, I provide the upper part of the stem with a saddle /.
It is not compulsory to make the stem removable from the handle as it may be fixed
thereto.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of this inven-
tion and in what manner the same is to be performed I declare that what I
claim is
'
1. The appliance shown at Figures 1, 3 and 4 on the annexed drawings, as a cork
extractor as set forth.
2. In a cork extractor, the two prongs on a single shank, provided with an
elongated hole as described and shown at Figure 2 of the annexed drawings.
