PALAHNIUK, a

invented certain new and useful Improvements in Cork-Extractors, lowing is a speclficatlon.

Th1s inventlon relatesto improvements in of which the foldevices for removing bottle corks, and has as its special object the provision; of an implement by means of which a cork may be readily extracted from in an easy and convenient manner; This object is attained by the novel construction and combination ofparts hereinafter described and shown in the accompanying drawing,

ing a cork extractor made in accordance with the invention.

Fig. 2 is another side elevational'view' of a straight cylindrical'handle 1O preferably of wood and having rigidly engaged upon opposite sides,'by screw bolts or rivets" 11, a pair of arms 12, their lower ends 14,

e which extend to some distance below the handle, being resilient so that they can be;

entered into various sizes ofbottle necks.

Formed upon the inner sides of the resiliv ent elements 14 are a plurality of sharp, up-

wardly turned spurs 15, adapted to engage in the cork which is to be extracted, and in order to guide the resilient arms 14, with respect to the opening in the bottle, other sprlng arms 18 are secured by rivets or like fastenings 19, to the handle through the arms 12, the spring arms 18 having flat elliptical ends 20, curved so as to slide freely over the neck of particularly in Fig. 1.

Formed axially through the handle 10 is an opening 22 containing 'a rod 23, having at its lower enda convex I adapted to make contact with the upper surface of the cork, so that the samemay residing at Brule Mines,

within a bottle neck a forming a material part of this disclosure, and ]l'l. Wll10l1I Figure 1 is a s de elevational view showare entered into a bottle, gaged within said handle,'means at the a bottle'as indicated more disk-like head 24,

handle 10 when in adepressed position.

In the-modification shown in Fig. 3, the

into which extend the arms 30 formed with the slidable bar 23, the" arms taking the place of the convex head 24 as shown in Figs.

' 1 and ,2, and, due to the angularity of the V Patented Aug. 24, 1920.

resilient arms 14-are formed with slots28 arms 30, when they arecaused to engage With the upper surface of the slots 28, the

arms are causedto spring slightly inward, forcing the spurs 15 into the cork.

The foregoing description, taken into connection withthe drawings, isbelieved to form a complete disclosure of the invention.

Having thus described my invention what I claim" as new and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is.

1. In ,a pork extractor, the combination" with a cyllndrical handle, of a pairof'resilient arms engaged therewith, said arms extending below and adapted to enter a bottle neck, a plurality of upturned spurs formed integrally with said resilient arms, means for gulding said arms as they are,

forced into, the .h0tt1e, a rod slidable cen trally in said handle and 1 a convex head formed at the lower end of said rod adapted to contact Withthe upper end of the cork whereby it may beforced upon said spurs.

2. In a cork extractor, the combination with a straight cylindrical handle, of apair of, resilient arms engaged upon opposite sides of said handle and extending therebelow, a plurality of". upturned sharply pointed spurs formed intpgrally with. said resilient arms, guides a xed upon said handle adapted to guide a rod 'slidably em upper end of said rod whereby it may be said arms as they being adapted to enter. into slots formed in; said resilientarms whereby they are brought. 5

toward each other as the cork is extracte In testimony whereof'Ijhave affixed my signature; i
