Claims13
A device comprising:
- a corkscrew;
- a shaft operably attached to the corkscrew at a first end of the shaft;
- and
- one or more protrusions extending from the shaft between the first end of the shaft and a second end of the shaft, wherein the second end of the shaft is configured to transmit a torque to both the first end of the shaft and to the corkscrew,
- wherein the one or more protrusions comprise a central support, wherein the central support is operably connected to one or more plates or the central support is formed of a unitary piece of material with the one or more plates, and
- wherein each of the one or more plates comprise a height direction that is substantially parallel with the shaft, and a depth direction that is substantially orthogonal to the height direction, and wherein the one or more plates comprise one or more through holes along an axis in the depth direction.

A device comprising:
- an anchor;
- a substantially planar base, wherein the substantially planar base is operably connected to the anchor;
- a shaft operably attached to the substantially planar base at a first end of the shaft;
- and
- two or more protrusions extending from the shaft between the first end of the shaft and a second end of the shaft, wherein the two or more protrusions extend from the shaft along the entire length of the shaft, and contact adjacent one or more protrusions, between the first end of the shaft the second end of the shaft,
- wherein the two or more protrusions comprise a central support, wherein the central support is operably connected to one or more plates or the central support is formed of a unitary piece of material with the one or more plates, and
- wherein each of the one or more plates comprise a height direction that is substantially parallel with the shaft, and a depth direction that is substantially orthogonal to the height direction, and wherein the one or more plates comprise one or more through holes along an axis in the depth direction.
