Description |
This german corkscrew
is entirely made out of nickel-plated steel. Monopol 117 was patented
per G. Usbeck de Steinbach-Hallenberg on December 23, 1909. It takes
again the system of Edouard. Becker for the cage made up of the two
mobile reinforcements. The sliding ring comes to close the cage during
the use. To give off the stopper, the ring is raised thus releasing
the cage which opens in two parts facilitating the extraction of the
cork. The higher part of the corkscrew includes/understands the handle
and the shaft of only one part, this unit is a prisoner of the cage
so that only a rotary movement of the handle is possible. This corkscrew
is equipped with a long full worm (half of the stem). A crown of 12
balls is inserted between the top of the cage and the base of the handle.
