Abstract: The invention involves a system and method for preserving and dispensing liquids from a corked bottle. The system includes a manifold connected to a supply of pressurized gas. Fluidly connected to the manifold is a tube assembly, which extends through the cork of a bottle for the introduction of pressurized gas to the inner portion of the bottle. A second tube within the tube assembly is provided for the transfer of liquid out of the bottle to the manifold for dispensing through the dispensing valve. A floating tip assembly is provided on the distal end of the outer tube member for covering the gas and liquid openings during insertion of the tube assembly into the bottle. The floating tip assembly moves either automatically or manually after insertion of the tube assembly to allow gas and fluid to flow through the assembly.

Abstract: The present invention provides an apparatus for turning the pages of books. The page turning apparatus includes a housing which receives the book. Further, the page turning apparatus includes a shaft having single or multiple protrusions. The shaft rotates and one or more of the protrusions attached to the shaft act through a number of steps to lift the page, and subsequently push the page as the shaft moves linearly to complete the page-turning process and then reset so the process can be repeated. The rotational motion and the linear motion are provided by one or more energy means. Also, the energy means provides a rotational and a linear motion to the shaft for turning the page of the book. In addition, the rotational motion of the shaft is followed by the linear motion along a horizontal axis of the housing.
