JOSEPH KAISER, OF SAN FRANCISCO, CALIFORNIA.
CORK-.EXTRACTOR- I SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 772,888, dated October 18, 1904,
Application filed January 15, 1904. Serial No. 189,079. (No model.) 7
' of California, have invented new and useful Improvementsin Cork-Extractors, of
the following is a s'pecification.
My invention relates to improvements in devices for extracting corks from bottles. Its
which object isto provide asimple inexpensive compact means accompanying every bottle for removing the cork entire.
Itv consists of the parts and the construction and combination of parts hereinafter more fully described, having reference to the accompanying drawings, in which Figure l is a front elevation of metal strip. Fig.2 is a side elevation of metal strip, showing projections for engaging cork. Fig. 3 is a modificationof the device. Fig. at is a partial section showing method of extracting cork. Fig. 5 showsthe device used as a corkprotector and Wired down, as for shipment.
In carrying out my invention I employ two flexible metal strips, each comprising a shank portion A and a head 2. The shank is providedwith a series of spurs 3 on one side or other suitable means for engaging the periphcry of the cork. These spurs are preferably formed by indenting the opposite sides of the shank with a prick-punch. The head 2 is preferably round and of a size not to exceed the exposed end of the cork and is perforated,
Y as at f. In operation two of these strips,iwith of the cork and the bottle sealed in the usual fashion.
When it is desired to open the bottle, the seal is brokenand the protruding or head parts 2 of the extractors straightened out.
By inserting a rod, nail, or any suitable instrument through the holes 4: in each head and exerting a pull on the rod the cork is easily extracted.
The shank may be. of any suitable width sufiicient to provide the necessary engagement with the fcork when inserted into the bottle to insure the extraction of the cork when a The pull is exerted on the head of the strip, length of the shank is preferably less than the length of the cork to allow a part of the cork to remain in engagement all the way around the inside of the neck to insure a perfect seal; otherwise. there would be opportunity for the ingress of air or the egress of liquid between the metal and glass, and the metal would be liable to contaminate the liquid in case the metal extended the entire length of or below the cork.
This device is simple, takes up no room, is invisible when the bottle is sealed, preserves the cork by leaving it entire, and enables the cork to be reused. Where malted liquor, as beer, or carbonated beverages, as ginger-ale and the like, are bottled and corked, it is customaryto safeguard against the accidental expulsion of the cork, by reason of the confined gases, by means of wires twisted about thelneck of the bottle and passed over the cor Z.
In. Fig. 3 I have shown the heads of my extractors transversely corrugated at5 to afford a suitable seat for the wires and prevent their Slipping. Thus the top projecting portion of my extractor becomes a combined cap to pro-- cork.
Having thus described my invention, what I claim, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, isv '1. A cork-extractor comprising'a flexible metal strip adapted to be inserted with the cork between said cork and bottle, said strip having one end portion provided with means for engagement with the cork, and the opposite end portion provided with a transverse perforation adapted to receive an instrument to facilitate the extraction of the cork.
2. A cork-extractor comprising a flexible metal strip adapted to be inserted with the cork between the same and the bottle, said strip having one end portion provided with means for engagement with the cork and having the opposite end adapted to project above the cork'and perforated and provided with transverse corrugations adapted to receive the tying-wires.
3. A cork extractor comprising a metal strip having a shank portion adapted to be inserted between the cork and bottle and provided with means for engagement with the cork. said strip having a flexible projecting portion of disk-like form normally foldable over upon the cork and to be raised thereabove at the time of use said foldable portion perforated to receive means for facilitating the extraction of the cork.
4. A cork-extractor comprising a metal strip having a shank portion adapted to be inserted between the cork and bottle and having means for engagement with the cork, said shank portion extending less than the entire length of the cork, and said strip having a flexible perforated projecting portion adapted to be normally folded down upon the cork and to be raised thereabove at the time of use.
5. A cork-extractor comprising two opposed and independent flexible metal strips inserted with the cork between the cork and bottle and having means for engaging the periphery of the cork, said strips having flexible projecting perforated portions foldable in opposite directions over upon the exposed end of the cork.
In testimony whereof I have hereunto set my hand in presence of two subscribing witnesses.
JOSEPH KAISER.
