Letters Patent No. 74,966, dated February 25, 1868.

IMPROVBD CORK-PULL;

T0 ALL WHOM- IT. MAY GONGERN:

Be it known that I, DAVID WILLIAMSON, of the 'city a'nd State vof New York, have incentrati, inode, and* applied to use, :L certain new ,and useful'mprovement in CorklDrawers; and I do hereby declare the following to be n full, clear, and exact description ofthe said imfcntionfreference 'being had to the annexed drawing,

making part of this specification, wherein- Figure 1 is an .elevation of said cork-drawer, with the shank near the point, in secton,l-thc cross-bar being in position for drawing the cork.'V t

'Figure 2 is a. similar vieWL-W'ith the cross-bacio position f0.1` passing throngh thecork; and

Figure is :t section in larger size, nt thelline x rv, iig'. 1-

Sinilar marks of reference denote the same parts.

Elfeletofore. a` cork-drawer has'been made with a. messbar-,tiret is in al mortise', and is thrown ont by a pro. jecting point, that tn kes the cork as the draweris -pnlled`baclc This is not reliablein its opcrzticn, and dculty isexperienced'in pullin'gthefcork o the drawer when the cork has beentaken outof thefbottie.

i The nature of my said invention consists in c cork-pull or drawer, made with a. inortise containing :tsliding and pivoted crossbar,flizving a catch at 'one end, and acted upon by a,l spring in the sii-id mortise, so that. the

cross-bar will be contained in the mortise,' and pass freelythrough the cork, but t-he friction ofthe corkafc/ains't'` its edges unlntches it, so that thespring can throw sn'd'bar crosswise toithe'pullnft'er it'hns 'cleared the inner end ofv the cork thereby said cross-bnr is in a position'for .drawing thecork, after which the cross-bnr nitty b VIn the drawing, d is `zthnndle of snitable character. Z1 is the pull ,or cork-drawer, formedwith n tnpering point, c, that will easily penetrate the cork, In this pull, YI, is it mortise, longitudinal of the same, and near the point.v The sides and ends of this mortise are xg'rooved, as at z'. c is tbe-cross-bar, formed with projections-upon its sides near the oentre,'forming pivots thnt slide in the grooves'z', und nlso allow the `cross-bar to'swing crosswiseto the pull b, :is in ig.- 1, or be turned into the mortise, :is in fig. .2. In `the ln'stinined' position the projection o, at theend-otc, enters the -notch in the bottom ofthe lnortis'e, forming a catohtolhold the same, TheV spring e acts to'throw the bnr c crosswisewhen` it has been unlntcbed by the slight e.ndmovement ot same, caused by the friction on the edges rif-th bnr in passing through the cork. The cross-bar slides in'tlo mortise,

so as tores-t in thelower end-thereof', while acting uponthe-nnder sileof the cork in withdrawing the same fromA the bottle. Ii' desired, the 'tnperingend ofthe drawer Ii moy he made withu sorew -threa,d, like a gimlehuto aid in perforating the cork. d

Whg't I claim, and -desire to'secure by Letters Patent, sv The cork-drawer, formed with a. mortiseoon taining the sliding and pivotedwross-bar', with its catch, and the spring for moving the'bar erosswiselto the mortise, sulistantiallycs specified. I

In witness whereof, I have hereunto set my signature,` this 17th day of Jennery, A. D,.`185 S.`
