Abstract
A manually operated corkscrew for removing a stopper from a mouth of a bottle is described. The corkscrew includes a body and a support arm, with an edge, pivotally connected to the body. A ringlet, for removable insertion into the stopper, is pivotally connected to the body adjacent to where the body and support arm are pivotally connected. A mechanism, providing at least two intermediate and graduated points along the edge of the support arm for engagement with the mouth of the bottle to permit removal of the stopper without having to further insert the ringlet into the stopper is also provided.

A manually operated corkscrew for removing a stopper from a mouth of a bottle, comprising:
- a body;
- a support arm pivotally connected to the body, the support arm having an edge;
- a ringlet, for removable insertion into the stopper, pivotally connected to the body adjacent to where the body and the support arm are pivotally connected;
- means pivotally connected with said support arm and providing separately at least two intermediate support points along the edge of the support arm for engagement with the mouth of the bottle to permit removal of the stopper without having to further insert the ringlet into the stopper.
A manually operated corkscrew for removing a stopper from a mouth of a bottle, comprising a body;
- a support arm pivotably connected to the body and having an edge;
- a ringlet removably insertable into the stopper and pivotably connected to the body adjacent to where the body and the support arm are pivotably connected;
- a first rocker pivotably connected to the support arm adjacent to where the body and the support arm are pivotably connected and having a lower end with a first claw;
- and a second rocker pivotably connected to the support arm adjacent to where the first rocker is pivotably connected to the support arm and having a lower end with a second claw and an upper end in contact with the lower end of the first rocker, said second claw being biased to protrude from the edge of the support arm until the second claw is pressed against the bottle, whereupon the upper end of the second rocker acts upon the lower end of the first rocker to expose the first claw from the edge of the support arm, and the rockers provide two intermediate support points along the edge of the support arm for engagement with the mouth of the bottle to permit removal of the stopper without having to further insert the ringlet into the stopper.
