Appl. No.:

8/659951

Inventors:

Robert A. May - Salt Lake City UT

International Classification:

B67B 704

US Classification:

81 32

Abstract:

An apparatus for removing a cork from a bottle is disclosed. The apparatus includes a housing, a motor disposed within the housing, and a corkscrew mechanically associated with the motor. An outer sleeve is associated with the housing. A shuttle is displaceably positioned within a channel defined in the outer sleeve. A slide, having a slot therein, is associated with the shuttle. The slot is configured to intercooperate with a rail positioned on the sidewall of the channel. The slide interacts with the rail to render the shuttle nonrotatable about its axis as the shuttle is displaced over a first length of the channel. In a second length of the channel, the shuttle is free to rotate about its axis. The corkscrew extends through a recess defined in the shuttle. A portion of a bottle containing a cork is received within the outer sleeve to engage the shuttle whereby the corkscrew may be inserted into the cork.
