Abstract: A cork puller of the kind wherein a puller shaft is supported in a sleeve for vertical movement by means of pivotally mounted levers provided with toothed sectors which mesh with rack teeth on the puller shaft and, more particularly, to a bearing structure for supporting the levers which enables easy assembly of the levers with their toothed sectors in engagement with the rack teeth of the puller without the aid of rivets or screws visible from the outside and without having to distort the lever-supporting structure.
