CORK- PULLER.

GPECIPICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 372,266, dated October 25, 1887.

Application filed July 9, 1886. Serial No. 207,592. (No model.)

- exact description ofthe invention, such as will enable others skilled in the art to which it appertains to make and use the same.

This invention relates to cork-pulling machines, and .it consists in certain improvements in the construction thereof, as will be hereinafter fully set forth.

The device is illustrated in the accompanying drawings as follows:

Figure 1 is a side elevation of the device in place on a shelf, table, .or counter. Fig. 2 shows the device, partly in vertical section, with the lever Oin an elevated position. Fig. 3 is a view from below, looking directly up into the mouth of the barrel A. Fig. 4 is a perspective view of the swivel B B detached from the device. Fig. 5 represents an alternative construction.

The construction is as follows: The body or fixed part of the device consists of an attaching-bracket, A", a barrel, A, and a neck; A, extending up from and arranged concentric with the barrel. These parts are best made in one piece of cast metal; but of course they may be of separate pieces joined; but such a construction would be expensive. The barrel A has a flaring mouth, a, and V-shaped ribs a on its inside. The neck A is made smooth both inside and out, either by finishing or by chilling, as desired, and serves as a journal for the swiveled part B B and the corkscrewstem D, and also as a guide for the said stem D as it moves up and down.

The part B B is made of cast metal, and'consists of a collar, B, and a horn or fulcrum-post, B. It is finished or made smooth within and at the ends of the collar B, so it can be rotated freely on the neck A. At the extremity of the fulcrum-post B there is a tenon, I), with a pivot-hole therein.

0 is a lever, which is fulcrumed on the post B by a pivot-pin, c, which passes through the pivot-hole in the tenon b on the post. This lever is connected by a link, cl, with the screwin Fig. 2.

will be the center of. motion and will be revolved, the post B describing a circle around the neck. The swiveled collar B and post B are kept in place on the neck by a collar, E,

which is secured by a set'screw, e.

The, operation is as follows: The nose of the be in-about the position shown by dotted lines The operator will then, while holding the bottle in place with one hand, revolve the lever 0 like acrank with the other hand. This will drive the corkscrew Dinto the cork.

The operator will then raise the lever G into the position shown by full lines inFig. 2. This will draw the cork from the bottle up into the barrel A. lVhile the cork is in the barrel A it is preventedfrom revolving by the V-shaped ribs (4, and therefore by revolving the lever G in the proper direction the cork will be expelled from the barrel and the screw.

I am aware of the constructions of corkpullers shown in the following patents, viz:
