the outer end of a cork when inserted into a bottle.
This plate is at one side connected by a hinge joint to a ring or band around the
bottle neck and at the other side is provided with a hook adapted to engage with a
spring catch also attached to or forming part of the ring or band.
When the hook is in engagement with its catch the said plate bears firmly upon the

is pressed the plate will fly back and allow the cork to be expelled under the pressure
within the bottle, or to be withdrawn.
