Improvements in Means for Withdrawing Corks or Bungs from
Bottles, Jars, Casks, and the like.
I, LLEWELLYN JONES POWELL of Meyrick Street, Pembroke Dock Gentleman.
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:-
My invention relates to certain improvements in means for withdrawing corks or
bungs from bottles, jars, casks, and the like, and has for its object the ready
manipulation of said withdrawal without interference with the functions of said
cork or bung as sealing mediums.
In order that my invention may be the better understood, I have appended the
accompanying sheet of drawings in which
Figure 1 represents a cork with an endless band threaded through it, and
Figure 2 a bung in section, showing the same arrangement, but with an ordinary
knot at the ends of the band.
Similar letters of reference indicate corresponding parts throughout the views.
In carrying my invention into effect 1 employ a cork or bung A of any resilient
material suitable for the purpose, and form a slot through the substance at or about
the centre thereof between the two planes formed by the ends. Through said slot.
I pass a band B of webbing, tape, ribbon or like fabric by means of a needle or the
like, and I may join it by a lap stitched joint or by a knot C as shown by
Figure 2. In practice the slot may be so placed that the greater part of the
substance forming the cork or bung may be above the said slot, and in any case the
resiliency of the substance admits of said cork or bung being driven in according-
to the usual method, the webbing or tape B sinking in so that the required degree.
of hermeticity is procured.

page_text: Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my said
invention and in what manner the same is to be performed I declare that what
I claim is ;-
In improved means for withdrawing corks or bungs from bottles, jars, casks, and
the like, the use of a slot through the body of said cork or bung, through which a
web or tape is threaded substantially as and for the purposes as herein described,
and shown by the appended drawings.
