Application fi1ed October 11, 1924:.
T0 oZZ whom 2'25 may concern:
Be it known that I, ALFRED WILLIAM FLINT, a subject of the King of Great- Britain, residing at 2 Harewood Pl ce, 0X- t'ord Street, London, iv. 1, England, have invented. new and useful Improvements in or Relating; to Devices for Removing Closures from Bottles, of which the following a specification.
This invention, relates to devices ftor removing closures trom settles and has for its object to provide a new or improved device capable of use as a corkscrew or as a crown stopper opener.
According to the invention a combination tool is provided comprising two elements either oi which can constitute or form part of the operating handle for the other according to whether the device is to be used as a corkscrew or for removing a crown stopper. The corkscrew may be adapted to embrace the shank of the crown stopper removing tool which may also be passed through an. aperture in the corkscrew shank in each case to form a handle whilst in another form of tie invention the corkscrew may be pivotally mounted on the handle 01: the crown stopper removing tool.
Reference will now be made to the accompanying drawings which illustrate by way of example constructions according to the invention and in which Figure 1 is an elevation of a device consisting of two completely detachable ele-- incuts, V
Figure 2 is an elevation similar to Figure 1 but showing an alternative "form of crown stopper removing tool,
Figure 3 illustrates the method of using the device shown in Figure 1 or 2 as a corkscrew.
Referring first to Figure l a crown stopper removing tool a is formed at one end with a pair of prongs Z) and 0 adapted to engage respectively above and below the crown of a stopper the prong Z) being so shaped as to exert a positive grip beneath the crown. The shank portion at of this Serial No. 7%,064.
element is of such diameter that it can be pushed through the helical coils c of the corkscrew element which grip it frictionally to a sufiicient extent to enable the shank j of the corkscrew to act as a handle, when the device is to be used for removing a stopper, the combined length of the two elements thus assembled forming a tool of sut' .ficient length to enable the requisite amount of leverage to be exerted to remove a stopper easily. The engagement between the coils e of the corkscrew and the shank (l is suflicient-ly tight to prevent all except intentional disengagement so that the device can most conveniently be carried so engaged without risk of one element becoming misplaced. The device illustrated in Figure 2 is in all respects similar that of Figure 1 with the exception of the crown stopper removing tool which has a single prong 9 having an inwardly projecting tooth 72 this form being suited to stoppers of shapes that could not be engaged by the double prong shown in Figure l.
The manner of using either of the devices above described as a corkscrew is shown in Figure In each case the corkscrew shank f is formed with a transverse aperture 2 through which the shank d of the crown stopper tool can be passed, the
shank. (Z being so proportioned that snbstantially only half its length can pass ALFRED WILLIAM FLINT.
