Abstract
Corkscrew, consisting substantially of two handle parts each provided with a metal tongue and being mutually shiftable within a common guide sleeve. For uncorking a bottle, the two metal tongues are successively introduced between the cork and the bottle neck, under automatic centering. Thus the cork is clamped between the two metal tongues and can without damage thereto be pulled out of the bottle neck, combined with a rotatory motion.
