UNITED STATES PATENT OFFICEO JOHN A. I-IURLEY, OF ERIE, PENNSYLVANIA, ASSIGNOR TO THE F. F. ADAMS COMPANY, OF SAME PLAGE.

eoFiK-PULLER.

ESFECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 348,911, dated September 7, 1886.

Application filed April 10, 1886. Serial No. 198,471. (No model.)

.To @ZZ whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, JOHN A. HURLEY, a citizen of the United States, residing at Erie, in the county of Erie and State of Pennsylvania, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Cork-Pullers; and I do hereby declare the following to be a full, clear, and exact description of the invention, sncli as will enable otliei's skilled in the art to which it appertaiiis to make and use the sanic.

This invention relates to eork-pullers; and it consists in certain improvements in the construction thereof, as will be hereinafter fully described, and pointed out in the claim.

The invention is illustrated in the aecompanying drawings. as follows:4

Figure l is a side elevation view of the dcvice. Fig. 2 is a vertical section on the line x x in Fig. 1.

The construction is as follows:

A A is the supportiiig-frame, ol" which A is a bracket or arm, which may be attached to a table, shelf, or other fixture, and A is a vertical guide-post with a central bore throughout its length. A corkscrew, consisting of the crank B, shaft or stem B', and worm B2, is journalcd in the central boreofthe guide-post A, and is free to move vertically therein.

Gis a sleeve which surrounds the lower end of the guide-post A', and moves vertically thereon. It has a flaring lower end or mouth to receive the nose of a bottle, and it is provided with an arm, c, at one side.

D is an elbow-lever pivoted at its bow to the bracket A at a, and provided with a slot, d, at the end of its-short arm, which engages with the arm c of the sleeve C. This lever thus con strncted will move the sleeve C up or down on the guide-post.

In the sleeve O there are screws c, which pass through it and protrude on the inside, where they are flat-pointed, with the points set vertically, the Unthreaded part of the screw indicating the 'liat point.

The operation is as follows: The bottle-nose is put in the position shown in Fig. 1. (See E.) YVhen this is done, the corkscrew will be pushed n p. By tnriiing the crank B the worm will be screwed into the cork, which being done the lever D will be depressed, and this will cause the sleeve O to push the bottle down away from the cork, which is held by the corkscrew, and as this occurs the cork of course is surrounded by the sleeve, and the points of the screws c are embedded in the cork. By then iinscrewing the corkscrew from the cork, and then lifting the lever D up, so as to slide the sleeve back up on the gnide-post,'the cork will becxpelled from the sleeve.

rIhe object el' the screw-points c is to hold the cork from revolving when the screw is be-y ing turned to unserew it from the cork.

I do not claim in this application the combination of a supporting-frame, one part having a flaring mouth, in wardly-1 n oj eeti ng pins, and a slot, a hollow plunger within the barrel,

a lever for moving said plunger, a longitudinally-nioving crank-shaft journaled in said plunger, and a corkscrew, as sncli a construetioii as that forms the subject-matter of a separate application, No. 179,014, filed October 5, 1885.

XV hat I claim as new is- In a cork-puller, the combination, substantially as herein set forth, ofthe bracket A, vertical hollow guide-post A', supported by said bracket, the cork-puller B B Bi, `journaled in said guide-post and vertically movable therein, the sleeve C, with mouth C on its lower end, guided ou said post A', and the lever D, for moving said sleeve vertically on the said guide-post. y

In testimony whereof I affix my signature in presence of two witnesses.

JOHN A. HURLEY.
