<p id="p0001" num="0001">The present invention concerns a corkscrew comprising a handle, a helical screw connected to the handle, a first lever connected to the handle through a first rotation pin, and a second lever connected to the first lever through a second rotation pin, the second lever having an engagement surface able to engage a neck of a bottle.</p>
<p id="p0002" num="0002">Such a corkscrew is used to extract a cork from the neck of a bottle, the helical screw penetrating and capturing the cork, allowing it to be pulled out of the bottle neck.</p>
<p id="p0003" num="0003">Extracting the cork requires progressively more force as the cork is pulled out of the bottle neck. Thus, the force required by an operator to completely extract the cork can be quite high and several mechanisms are known to provide mechanical advantage during the extraction of the cork.</p>
<p id="p0004" num="0004"><patcit id="pcit0001" dnum="DE202004018118U"><text>DE 20 2004 0181 18 U</text></patcit> discloses a cork screw with a first lever connected to a handle through a first rotation pin, and a second lever connected to the first lever through a second rotation pin and two fixing elements being abutment surfaces to allow a two-stage cork extraction.</p>

During a first rotation stroke, a handle and a first lever are jointly lifted around a rotation pin, arranged through a second lever, until the first lever abuts against the second lever. Then, during a second rotation stroke, the handle is lifted around another rotation pin, arranged through the first lever.</p>
<p id="p0007" num="0007">However, in this corkscrew, the range of the first rotation stroke is limited.</p>
<p id="p0008" num="0008">One aim of the invention is to provide a corkscrew, with a simple design, allowing removing a cork in a single movement of the handle in an easy and reliable manner.</p>

<p id="p0078" num="0078">Then, the engagement surface 80 of the second lever 26 is engaged on the neck 16 of the bottle 12, by rotation of the second lever 26 around the second rotation pin 28. During this rotation of the second lever 26, the stop rod 78 slides from the second abutment 70 to the first abutment 68 in each slot 72, such that the stop rod 78 is in abutment against the first abutment 68 in each slot 72.</p>

<p id="p0088" num="0088">This passage from a first arm lever 88 to a greater second arm lever 90 facilitates the extraction of the cork 14 to the operator.

<p id="p0089" num="0089">Besides, the change of arm lever does not require a manual intervention of the operator other than the continuous lifting of the handle 18. This passage does not require the operator to stop the lifting of the handle 18.</p>
<p id="p0090" num="0090">At the end of the second combined rotation stroke, illustrated in <figref idref="f0004">figure 7</figref>, the second abutment 70 blocks the first lever 22 against the second lever 26.</p>

<p id="p0092" num="0092">In a variant (not shown), the first lever 22 comprises the stop rod 78 and the second lever 26 defines the slot 72 in which the stop rod 78 is inserted.</p>
