摘要:
A cutting device for cutting material covering wine bottle necks comprising cutters defining at least three cutting surfaces and a frame carrying the cutters. The frame has an axis and positions the cutters such that the cutting surfaces are radially spaced from the axis, aligned transversely in the axis and circumferentially spread with the angular displacement between each cutting surface and the two adjacent cutting surfaces less than 180°, whereby, upon rotation of the frame about the axis by an amount less than 180°, the cutting surfaces respectively define continuous arcs of a common circle. The frame further permits the cutting surfaces to so define a plurality of such sommon circles of different diameters.

The invention provides apparatus for extracting a cork from a bottle comprising:
a corkscrew; guide means receiving said corkscrew and permitting longitudinal and rotative movement of said corkscrew; a holder including - bottle-engaging means connected to said guide means for positioning said guide means and said corkscrew in generally coaxial alignment with the neck of said bottle, said bottle-engaging means including stop means for limiting downward movement of said guide means with respect to said bottle; spacer means interconnecting said guide means and said bottle-engaging means and spacing said guide means upwardly from said bottle-engaging means, said spacer means defining an opening for receipt of said cork as it emerges from said bottle; connection means interconnecting said corkscrew and said holder, said connection means being mounted for longitudinal but generally non-rotative movement on said holder and said corkscrew being mounted for rotative but generally non-longitudinal movement in said connection means; and abutment means carried by said corkscrew for limiting downward movement of said corkscrew with respect to said guide means.

An apparatus for removing corks from bottles is adapted to allow for automatic ejection of the cork from the apparatus, after the cork has been withdrawn from the bottle, by reverse rotation of the corkscrew. The apparatus comprises a corkscrew (10) having a first helical section (10a) with a first outer diameter and a second helical section (10b) disposed below the first section and with a second outer diameter greater than the first outer diameter so that an upwardly directed screw shoulder (10c) is formed between the sections. A handle (12) is fixed to the upper end of the corkscrew. The corkscrew is longitudinally movable with respect to a guide frame (14) therefor. The guideframe includes stops (16b) for abutting the top of a bottle and spacers (16e) extending upwardly from the stops and defining a cork receiving space (28) for receipt of a cork as it is withdrawn from a bottle by the apparatus. Catches (30) are connected to the spacers, and disposed in the cork receiving space, the catches being engageable with a cork to prevent rotation thereof. Upward movement of the corkscrew shoulder with respect to the spacer means is limited by the screw.
摘要:
Apparatus and method for removing a stopper from a bottle having an internal pressure greater than the ambient pressure surrounding the bottle, e.g. a champagne bottle. At least one generally vertical edge of the apparatus is placed in a generally vertical groove in the periphery of the stopper, in some cases cutting the groove simultaneously as it is moved downward over the stopper. The apparatus is then oscillated or rotated, whereupon the internal pressure in the bottle can overcome the sliding friction between the stopper and the bottle. The apparatus is also adapted to control the stopper, once expelled.

The present invention provides apparatus for extracting a cork from a bottle comprising:
a corkscrew; guide means receiving said corkscrew and permitting longitudinal and rotative movement of said corkscrew; spacer means connected to said guide means and defining a stop shoulder adjacent a laterally inner side of said spacer means and spaced from said guide means and engageable with said bottle for limiting downward movement of said guide means with respect to said bottle and spacing said guide means upwardly from said bottle, said spacer means further defining an opening for receipt of said cork as it emerges from said bottle; a plurality of gripping elements connected to said guide means and extending below said shoulder for gripping engagement with said bottle, said gripping elements being resiliently radially deflectable with respect to said stop shoulder; and abutment means carried by said corkscrew for limiting downward movement of said corkscrew with respect to said guide means.
