Description

FIG. 1 is a front perspective view of an oil and natural gas pump bottle opener showing my new design;

FIG. 2 is a left side elevation view thereof;

FIG. 3 is a right side elevation view thereof;

FIG. 4 is a top plan view thereof;

FIG. 5 is a bottom plan view thereof;

FIG. 6 is a front elevation view thereof; and,

The claimed oil and natural gas pump bottle opener is used to open bottles and provide aesthetic nostalgia. This design is of a wine and beer bottle opener which is functional and presents an original likeness mimicking land-based oil and natural gas pumping units. These pumping units are often referred to as “Horse Heads” in the oil and gas industry.

Wine and beer bottle openers often use a corkscrew-lever type and pry-open design to remove wine corks and beer caps. This design uses similar, but different angles to produce an effect which accomplishes this removal of corks and caps. Simultaneously, this design produces a visual effect similar to the operation of a pumping unit in an oil or natural gas field.
