Figure

represents

a

self-

extracting screw, the cut

being half size.

It is so

constructed that it is to

be turned until the flange

reaches the cork, when,

by continued turning and

a slight pull, it is stated, the hardest cork can be extracted.

It is made either bronzed or in full

nickel-plate. Figure 2 represents a spiral twist corkscrew with pick or wire stripper. This also is

made bronzed of full nickel-plate.
