Abstract: Cork removal apparatus of the type in which gas under pressure is directed into a container thereby to eject a cork or like stopper. The apparatus directs gas from a gas cylinder into a gas reservoir sealed by a valve. The gas pressure provides the sealing force. When an actuator opens the seal, gas passes through a series of passages and a hollow needle that penetrates the stopper to exit within the container to eject the stopper.A cover assembly on the needle completely encloses the needle. A disk at one end of the cover retracts as the needle is inserted into the stopper. After the stopper is ejected it remains on the needle within the cover. Tabs extending through the cover enable the disk to be returned to its original position thereby removing the stopper and enclosing the needle.

The gas in the bomb is fed into the air-space present below the cork of the container, such as a bottle containing beverages such as wine, through a insertion needle whereby the pressure in the container raises to remove the cork automatically. The cork-extracting device is characterized in that a valve seat of a needle valve, which opens and closes the gas supply port, is made of a resilient valve seat plate, the lower surface of the resilient valve seat plate being used as a packing for supporting the cap of the gas bomb, accommodated in a cylindrical container, and the needle valve being able to protrude the resilient valve seat plate to open the cap of the gas bomb.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a cork mounting apparatus for bottles which comprises two head parts, one lower part, and one upper part. The invention stands out from earlier well-known apparatus in that the upper part which includes a piston has an outer tube which is arranged around an outer wall of the lower part. Accordingly, the piston will therefore go straight up and down in a socket connected to the lower part. The lower part is also provided with a tube which extends down around the bottle-neck. The lower part tube eliminates wobbling of the bottle during the cork mounting operation. The apparatus is also useful for mounting capsules and foils on bottles. Also, with an extra fitting, the apparatus may be used as a corkscrew. The upper part may furthermore be used separately as a "doughy-free" closing plug for bottles.

Abstract: A bottle opener comprises a bomb; a cylindrical body encasing the bomb; a needle mounted on the cylindrical body; a cylinder wherein are disposed an air flow path for guiding the gas released from the bomb to the needle, a piston having a valve for opening and closing the air flow path, a bomb needle for breaking through a gas outlet port of the bomb, and a variety valve; a lid body mounted on the cylinder; a handle pivotably mounted on the lid body for operating the piston; and airtight sealing members for forming airtight seals between the handle, the cylindrical body, the bomb, the piston and the cylinder. The bottle opener can be used a plurality of times with a single bomb and is capable of withstanding use over a long period of time in safe and without leakage.

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 corkscrew itself is improved by the provision of an outer layer of friction reducing material such as a tetrafluoroethylene or other suitable plastic. Additionally, the tip portion of the corkscrew is formed in an improved manner which prevents fragments of cork from breaking off and falling into the bottle even though the screw is driven completely through the cork. Also disclosed is an improved method of making such a corkscrew.

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.
