page_text: ine to bring the shank and the arm into parallel relation on opposite sides of the
frame.
To open the device, the operator can easily insert. his finger beside the screw in
the yoke shaped section and turn it upon its pivot. In doing this the extension G,
thrusts the arm E out from the frame as shown in Fig. 5. Then turning the screw
into position, as an extension of the frame, the extension G is wedged in the
contracted section F and holds it in such position while the operator is turning the
screw into the bottle. Then the fulcrum arm may be turned down to engage upon
the upper edge of the bottle, being suitably notched or grooved as shown at b,
Fig. 6, and lifting upon the frame, the handle being fulcrumed upon the arm E, the
cork is easily withdrawn.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of this inven-
tion and in what manner the same is to be performed, as communicated to me
by my foreign correspondent, I declare that what I claim is :-
1. In a corkscrew, the combination of a frame, a corkscrew pivoted near the
end, a fulcrum arm pivoted at the end, and adapted to be folded into the frame on
opposite sides, substantially as described.
2. In a corkscrew, the combination of an open frame having an extension at one
end formed by two parallel arins, a lateral bend in said extension, a corkscrew
pivoted in the bend, a fulcrum arm pivoted in the end of the extension, both
screw and arm adapted to be folded into the frame on opposite sides, substantially
as described.
3. In a corkscrew, a frame made of a single piece of metal bent to form a yoke
shaped open body portion, and an end extension formed by the two ends arranged
in parallelism, a lateral bend in the extension, a screw pivoted in the bend and a
fulcrum arm pivoted at the end of the extension, both screw and arm adapted to
be folded into the frame on opposite sides, substantially as described.
4. In a corkscrew, a frame consisting of an open yoke shaped body, an extension
formed by two parallel bars having a lateral bend and having a restricted portion
between the bend and the body, a screw having its shank pivoted in the bend,
and adapted when closed to enter the restricted portion, substantially as described.
5. In a corkscrew, a frame consisting of an open yoke shaped body, an extension
formed by two parallel bars having a lateral bend and having a restricted portion
between the bend and the body, a screw having its shank pivoted in the bend and
an extension of the screw beyond the pivotal point, the shank and the extension
respectively being adapted to be forced into the restricted portion to lock the screw
in its folded and extended position, substantially as described.
6. In a corkscrew, the frame substantially as set forth, the corkscrew pivoted
in the bend of the extension, the fulcrum arm pivoted in the end adapted to be
folded into the frame across the pivotal point of the screw, and the extension of the
shank of the screw for forcing out the arm in opening the screw, substantially as
described.
