Abstract
This corkscrew consists of a main body (1) fitted to a foldable blade (7) to open bottles, a helicoidal screw (2) and a guide (4) over which is fitted a detachable arm (3) having an end nail (3a) providing a point of support over the bottle neck during uncorking. The arm (3) may be placed, with the aid of a curved retainer (5) and helicoidal spring (6), in a front or rear position.
Claims4
A multipurpose corkscrew, of the type comprising a main body (1), to which is joined, in a foldable manner, a blade (7) for the lifting of crown corks, a helicoidal screw (2), destined to be introduced in the cork and an arm (3) with an extreme nail (3a) forming a support over the bottleneck during uncorking thereof;
- characterised in that the arm (3) is joined to the main body by means of a foldable guide (4), over which it is fitted with the possibility of longitudinal displacement, being it possible to arrange the arm (3) in a rear position for the partial removal of the cork or in a forward position for its total removal. Likewise, it is characterised in that it includes rolling means to maintain the arm in the forward position and elastic means tending to displace it towards the rear position.
A corkscrew, according to the previous claim characterised in that the rolling means destined to maintain the arm in the forward position consist of a curved retainer (5) fitted with the possibility of rotation over the main body (1), being it possible to activate said retainer whenever necessary, as a means for removing crown type corks.
A corkscrew, according to the previous claims characterised in that the arm (3) has at its end an oblique fin (3b) destined to act against the retainer (5) when in the forward position.
A corkscrew, according to the previous claims characterised in that the elastic means tending to maintain the arm in the rear position consist of a helicoidal spring (6) whose ends are fixed to the lugs (3c and 4a) respectively defined in the arm (3) and in the guide (4).
