Description |
This small italian corkscrew with double levers was patented by Placido Vogliotti on December 2, 1910 under the n° 412,560. Entirely realized out of buckled and riveted plates, the system consists of sets of levers and articulations and of a stem prolonged by a full worm. The worm is protected by two sheet arcs which open with the flower petals what differentiates it from the STURO which is larger besides also and from the French specimen BOY SCOUT. It should be noted that it is necessary to turn the corkscrew to insert the worm in the cork. |
