Monopol Rockets

The two rockets on the left

are needle type cork

ejectors. The patent

drawing shows the ejector

on the left. A lever is

pressed against the side of

the rocket nose to engage

the CO2 cartridge and eject

the cork. In the second

example, the top of the nose

cone is pushed down. The

base is used to strip the

cork from the needle after

ejection.

The ejector in the

foreground is called the

Kork-Ex.

The rocket on the right is a corkscrew.
