J. BARNES. CORK-SCREW.
No.179.090. Patentec1 June 27,1876.
N. PETERS. PHOTO LTMOGRA UNITED STATES PATENT QFFIOE.
JOSHUA BARNES, OF BROOKLYN, NEW YORK.
IMPROVEMENT IN CORKSCREWS.
Specification forming part of Letters Patent No. 179,090, dated J uno 27, 1876; application filed March 27, 1876. I
To all whom it may 00%66770.
Be it known that I, JOSHUA BARNES, of the city of Brooklyn, in the county of Kings and State of New York, have invented a new and useful Improvement in Corkscrews, which improvement is fully set forth in the following specification, reference being had to the accompanying drawing.
The object ofmy invention is to make a corkscrew which shall be adapted to pull corks of all sizes, from those used in vials and small bottles up to those used in large bottles.
' For this purpose I make my improved corkscrew of one or more pieces of wire, of iron, steel, brass, or of other suitable material. The lower portion of the wire or other material is I twisted into a small slender spiral or screw,
and thus adapted for corks of vials and small bottles. Another portion of the said wire or other material is made into a larger and stouter spiral, and is thus adapted for drawing the larger-sized corks.
One or more pieces of wire may be used for the coils or spirals, shank, and handle of the corkscrew. This is shown in Figure l of the drawing.
The coils or shank may be attached to any suitable handle, as shown in Fig. 2.
The wires; forming the shank may be twisted,
coiled, or soldered together.
Metal may be run upon the wires forming the shank, to make it heavier and more solid.
The lower portion of this metallic shank can be formed into a guard or shoulder, for the purpose of preventing the shank from penetrating the cork. The under side of this guard may be roughened, or points or prongs may be formed thereon, for the purpose of allowing the coils to be more firmly held by the corkscrew. This modification of my corkscrew with metallic shank is shown in Fig. 3 of the drawing. A metallic tube or ring may be also used for strengthening the shank.
In Figs. 2 and 3 the handle has a loop'or ring attached to it, for the purpose of hanging the corkscrew.
My improved corkscrew, as above described, thus combines in the same article a corkscrew for drawing corks of vials and small bottles, and also one for drawing the corks of large bottles.
By thus duplicating the coils or spirals the advantage is obtained in drawing large corks of getting a better hold on the cork, and thus extracting it with more case than can be done by the use of an ordinary corkscrew.
Having thus described my invention, what I claim is An improved corkscrew, made of one or more pieces of iron, steel, or brass wire, or of other suitable material, and with two or more coils or spirals, and thus adapted for drawing corks of all sizes, substantially as shown and described.
In testimony that I claim the foregoing I have hereunto set my hand this 25th day of March, 1876.
JOSHUA BARNES.
