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.
