Abstract: A champagne bottle opener designed to dislodge an overhanging top of closure of the type commonly used to close champagne or sparkling wine bottles. The device includes a handle and a bifurcated working area having a prying surface designed to engage the overhanging edge of the closure and deflect it sideward to begin its removal. In one embodiment the bifurcated working area includes a pair of arms which are spaced a distance greater than the bottle neck diameter and less than the diameter of the wire retaining ring around the neck of a champagne bottle. In another embodiment a single angular arm forms with the handle a recess for receiving the bottle neck. In still another embodiment the arms are bent to conform with the upper surface of the ring of the bottle. In normal use, the sideward movement of the cork is sufficient to cause its dislodgement from its sealed position and it may be easily removed manually or it may pop off in a controlled and predictable manner.

Abstract: A simple, unitary flexible sheet member designed to be removably secured to the burner region of a stove to prevent dislodgment of a coffee pot or cooking pot. The holder is fabricated from sheet material including a side wall portion and a number of depending legs, each of which terminate in a foot part. The holder is deformable to form generally into a circular shape and is spring action tending to flatten which brings the foot portions into engagement with the lip of the burner opening into the top of the stove. The spring action of the body holds the foot portions into engagement despite movement of the stove, as is common in a recreational vehicle, and the device is automatically adjusted to the size of the burner opening.
