<p>The invention concerns a corkscrew assembly of the self-pull type comprising a screw member (12) and a holding member (30), the screw member comprising a screw (13) having a lower end (16) adapted to be inserted into a cork and an upper end (17) secured to a handle (18) by which the screw member may be rotated about the axis (15) of the screw, the holding member having a body (31, 35) formed with a bore (32, 36) to loosely receive the screw, and a pair of arms (40) extending downwardly therefrom and arranged to engage the top of and opposite sides of the neck of a bottle, the arrangement being such that initially as the screw member is rotated the screw enters the cork while further rotation causes the cork to be pulled from the neck of the bottle, and in which a projecting portion (26) on the lower part of the handle is a retaining fit in the bore (32) of the holding member (30) when the screw is fully inserted into the holding member so as to retain the members together in that position against inadvertent separation. Preferably the projecting portion (26) is a snap-fit in the holding member (30). The handle has three equi-angularly spaced arms (21), of substantially depth and rounded in side view, extending outwardly from and symmetrically about the axis (15) of the screw (13).</p> |
