ABSTRACT:
An apparatus for removing a cork from a bottle is disclosed. The apparatus includes a housing, a motor disposed within the housing, and a corkscrew mechanically associated with the motor. An outer sleeve is associated with the housing. A shuttle is displaceably positioned within a channel defined in the outer sleeve. A slide, having a slot therein, is associated with the shuttle. The slot is configured to intercooperate with a rail positioned on the sidewall of the channel. The slide interacts with the rail to render the shuttle nonrotatable about its axis as the shuttle is displaced over a first length of the channel. In a second length of the channel, the shuttle is free to rotate about its axis. The corkscrew extends through a recess defined in the shuttle. A portion of a bottle containing a cork is received within the outer sleeve to engage the shuttle whereby the corkscrew may be inserted into the cork. An operation of the motor causes the corkscrew to be imbedded into the cork. Due to the interaction of the corkscrew and the shuttle, the cork is removed from the bottle.
