ABSTRACT:
The invention pertains to an apparatus for extracting a cork from a bottle comprising a cork-engaging member, including a corkscrew, and a holder for aligning and guiding the corkscrew, via its own diameter, with respect to the bottle. The cork-engaging member is completely removable from the holder for independent use, and to permit the corkscrew point to be used to sever the metal foil, which covers the bottle top, and both the holder and cork engaging member to be more easily cleaned. The holder includes a plurality of longitudinally extending circumferentially spaced, radially deflectable gripping elements connected to and spaced downwardly from a guide which receives the corkscrew, and are all approximately equally resiliently biased to a normal unflexed radial position. One embodiment is capable of two alternative modes of operation. The corkscrew itself is improved by the provision of an outer layer of friction reducing material.
