ARCHIBALD" STILES, OF BATON ROUGE, LOUISIANA, ASSIGNOR OF ONE-HALF TO CLINTON C. LEWIS, OF STEPHENSPORT, KENTUCKY.
CORKSCREW.
SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 613,176, dated October 25, 1898.
Application filed August 13, 1896- Selal No. 602,660. (No model.) Y
To all whom it may concern:
Be it known that I, ARCHIBALD STILEs, a citizen of the United States, residing at Baton Rouge, in the parish of East Baton Rouge and State of Louisiana, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Corkscrews; and I do hereby declare the following to be a full, clear, and exact description of the invention, such as will enable others skilled in the art to which it appertains to make and use the same.
This invention relates to certain new and useful improvements in corkscrews and it has for its object, among others, to provide a simple and cheap form of corkscrew by which the cork may be withdrawn from a bottle more rapidly and with less exertion than by the oldforms. The construction is such that when the handle of the corkscrew is pushed inward the screw runs into the cork, and then by giving it a twist or turn the cork is withdrawn, and then when the handle is lifted or drawn back the screw is turned out of the cork.
The device is provided with jaws which are adjustable so as to fit any sized bottle.
The device is cheap of manufacture, not liable to get out of order, and in practice has proven most efficient for the purposes for which it is intended.
The other objects and advantages of the invention will hereinafter appear, and the novel features thereof will be specifically defined by the appended claim.
The invention in this instance resides in the peculiar combinations and the construction, arrangement, and adaptation of parts,
all as more fully hereinafter described, shown in the drawings, and then particularly pointed out in the claim.
The inventionis clearly illustrated in the accompanying drawings, which, with the letters of reference marked thereon, form a part of this specification, and in which- Figure l is a view showing the application of the invention to a bottle. Fig. 2 is an enlarged view of the corkscrew. Fig. 3 is a central vertical section through the same. 4 is a cross-section thereof.
Like letters of reference indicate like parts throughout the several views.
Referring now to the details of the drawings by letter, A designates the head or body Fig.
portion, having the vertical portions connecting the upper and lower parts thereof and provided with longitudinal slots a, in which work the pins or projections a', which are car-V ried by the sleeve A. This sleeve has an inter-nal spiral groove to receive the spiral threads B on the shank B, which at its lower end carries the corkscrew C and is provided at its upper end with a handle C'. The corkscrew is designed to work through the open,- ing in the lower portion A2 of the head, as indicated best in Fig. 3.
D are jaws which are pivotally mounted, as at d, between the lugs d', which project from the sleeve D2, surrounding the lower portion of the head. These jaws are provided at their upper ends with the set-screws G, adapted to bear against the sleeve D2, and thereby adj ust the same jaws to fit the necks of bottles of different sizes. By the use of these set-screws it will readily be seen that an ease of adjustment is accomplished which can be readily manipulated. The inner faces of the lower ends of lthe jaws are serrated or roughened, as seen at E, so as to afford a secure hold upon the exterior of the bottle at the neck portion thereof.
In the operation of the device the handle carrying the internallygrooved sleeve is pushed downward after placing the device lupon the neck of a bottle, and in this movement the spirally-threaded shank carrying the corkscrew is also forced downward until the corkscrew comes in contact with the cork. The further downward movement being resisted by the cork, the shank is thereafter caused to rotate by reason of the threaded engagement of said shank with the sleeve. It will thus be seen that the corkscrew is caused to enter and twist itself into the cork. After a sufficient hold has been taken upon the cork by the corkscrew the handle is drawn upward, the tendency to rotate the cork being resisted by its frict-ional engagement in the neck of the bottle. After the cork is drawn out it will move upward until it comes in contact with the head of the device, which thus forms a stop for limiting the upward movement of the cork, and upon a further upward pull on the handle the threaded engagement of the shank and sleeve causes the shank to be ro IOO mounted jaws carried by the lower end of the head and set-screws engaging the upper ends of the jaws above their pivots, substantially as described.
In testimony whereof I have signed this specification in the presence of two subscribing witnesses.
ARCIHE STILES.
Titnessess WM. A. WARD, B. F. STILES.
