ABSTRACT:
Apparatus for extracting a cork from a bottle comprises a movable portion, a handle, and a holder. The movable portion includes a helical corkscrew. The handle includes at least one elongate arm and is associated with the movable portion such that the arm may extend radially outwardly with respect to the corkscrew in an operating position of the handle. The arm has a restraining formation disposed distal the corkscrew in the operating position and adapted to engage a human finger and restrain it against movement radially outwardly. The holder is engageable with a bottle and defines an opening for receipt of a cork as it emerges from the bottle. The holder has a guide which allows rotational and longitudinal movement of the movable portion relative to the holder whereby the corkscrew can be driven downwardly into the cork and to a lowered position with respect to the holder upon rotation of the movable portion in a first direction. The movable portion and the holder have force transmitting formations interengageable, when the movable portion is in its lowered position, and adapted to cause the cork to be removed from the bottle upon further rotation of the movable portion.
