Application filed June 29, f.
1/ 0 aZZ w/wm it may concern J v Be it known that l, JOEL H. Do Bose, a citizen of the United States, residing at Clarkesville, in the county of Habersh'am and State of Georgia, have invenfc'l a new and useful Cork-Extractor, of Whichthe following'is a specification.
It is the object of the present invention to provide a cork extractor which will pass between the cork and receptacle without caus-. ing a distortion of the cork, the extractor being so constructed that a laterally eX- tended, cork-engaging blade will automatically swing beneath the cork, without rotating the shank of the extractor, when the blade has passed downwardly belbw the cork and is free from the compression imposed by the cork and the receptacle.
/Vith the foregoing and other objects in view, which will appear as the description proceeds, the invention resides in the combination and arrangement or" parts and in the details of construction hereinafter described and claimed, it being understood that changes in the precise embodiment of invention herein disclosed can be made with in the scope of what is claimed without departing from the spirit of the invention.
In the drawings, Figure 1 shows the in vention in perspective; Fig. 2 is a side elevation; Fig. 3 is a sectional view showing the extractor in place within the receptacle? Fig. d is a section on the line d l of Fig. 52; and Figs. 5, 6 and 7 are diagrarnmatical views referred to hereinafter in the de scription of the operation of the structure.
The cork extractor herein disclosed. comprises a. shun... l which may be of any desired form, the shank 1 being provided at its upper end, in the present instance, with a finger-receiving eye 2. The shank 1 is provided, at its lower end, with a laterally extended, rectangularly disposed blade 3, the blade 3 preferably being formed integrally with theshank l. -ll1e blade 8 is provided with slant side faces 5, defining a thinned, entering edge 6 at the bottom of the blade, and defining a flattened, corkengaging face 7 at the top of the blade, the shank 1 having slant faces 8 which, as indicated at 9, merge unbrokenly into the slant faces 5 of the head 3. The edge 6 and the face 7 are preferably parallel, and both, preferably, are disposed at right angles to the axis of the shank-1. As shown at 10,
the extractor.
the blade 3 is curved. The blade, further, is resilient, the entire structure, or at least the blade 3 and the shank 1, being fashioned from metal. 1 Owing. to the fact that the thinned entering edge 6 is provided, the blade may be inserted readily between the cork 11 and the receptacle .12. Owing to the resiliency of the blade 3, the'same will accommodateih selr" readily to corks having different curvatures. The flat face 7 permits the extractor to lift the cork 11', without cutting into the cork. Uwing to the fact thatthe faces 8 of the shank merge into the faces 5 of the blade, as indicated at-9, there will be no caring of the cork, as the cork rides off the blade and onto the shank.
So far as I am advised as to thestate of the art, it has been necessary heretofore, in cork extractors of the general type herein disclosed, to rotate the shank l, in order that the blade 3 may "e engaged beneath the cork. This operation is fraught with many disadvantages. In the first instance, the shank l. must be made strong enough to withstand torsion, it being recalled that the shank l is wedged tightly between the cork l1 and the receptacle 12. Furthermore, this rotation of the shank 1 serves to fashion a longitudinal groove in the outer face of the cork, notably, since the shank 1 must be provided with the flattened faces 89in order that the shank, as well as the blade, may pass smoothly and evenly between the cork and the receptacle. No one hitherto, so far as I am acquainted with the art, has devised a cork extractor of the type which will automatically engage beneath the cork when a right line movement only is imparted to In the present instance, a single movement only is necessary to cause the blade 3 to engage beneath the cork, this movement being the right line movement wherebytheblade 3 is thrust between the cork 11 and the receptacle 12. The foregoing constitutes one of the important features of the present invention. Referring to Fig. 5, the blade 3 is first placed against the cork, the blade 3 curving away from the cork, as shown in Fig. 5. The blade 3 is then flattened'out slightly, as shown in Fig. 6, so as to engage between the cork 11 and the receptacle, the blade remaining in the position shown in Fig. 6, until the blade has been pushed downwardly be- Patented-Jan, 5, 19115.

. drawn upwardly,
low the cork. So soon as the blade 3 has assed below the cork, the bladefwill spring intothe position shown in Fig. end of the blade swinging-beneath the cork, due to the resiliency of the blade, and the cork engaging face '7 which is located at the top of the blade, being thereby disposed.beneath the cork, so that When the shank is the cork will be With- It is to be observed that the foregoing operation renders entirely unnecessary, a twisting or rotatory the shank 1.
Having thus described the invention, what is claimed is 1. A cork extractor comprising a shank and a transversely curved blade outstanding from the shank, the blade being resilient in a direction at right angles to the axis of the shank and being rigid in a direction parallel to the axis of the shank.
2. A stopper extractor comprising a shank and a rectangularly disposed outstanding blade, the blade being curved.and being resilient, whereby the blade may be partially drawn;
7 the free v movement 1n blade to conform flattened between the stopper and the stop er-holding receptacl'and may expand eneath the'st'opper when the upper edge of the blade has passed below the stopper, the shank having opposed flat side faces mergin unbrokenly into shank and constituting receptacle and stop per engaging means for preventing the shank from rotating and for preventing the free end of the blade from being forced through the stopper as the blade moves longitudinally of the stopper, the blade'being of the same cross-sectional area from end to end, thus insuring an even curvature of the to the periphery of stopper and to prevent a forcing of the free end of the blade into the stopper.
In testimony that I claim the foregoing as my own, I have hereto aflixed my signature in the presence of two Witnesses.
