Apparatus For Controlled Stopper Extraction From And Reinsertion In Sparkling Wine Bottles
US Patent:
4437360, Mar 20, 1984
Filed:
Feb 23, 1983
Appl. No.:
6/469198
Inventors:
Hal C. Becker - Fort Collins CO
International Classification:
B67B 706, B67B 744
US Classification:
81 344
Abstract:
A strip of tensile material is transversely bent in the middle to form equal elongated upper and lower flat members that are longitudinally parallel with free handle ends oppositely disposed to the bent closed end. The members are spaced apart the height of a sparkling wine bottle stopper head for receiving the head therebetween. The lower member, adjacent the curved end, defines a compound hole comprising contiguous holes of unequal radii longitudinally oriented and adapted respectively to receive a stopper head through the larger hole and for the smaller hole to engage around the stopper body, slidably. Moving the handle ends back and forth and up and down moves the stopper as desired under complete control regardless of the lack of engaging pressure on the handle ends, and without force engaging the bottle.
