A corkscrew is a tool for drawing corks from wine bottles and other household bottles that may be sealed with corks. In its traditional form, a corkscrew simply consists of a pointed metallic helix (often called the "worm") attached to a handle, which the user screws into the cork and pulls to extract it.
Henshall was awarded on 24 August 1795 the first patent for a corkscrew. It had a fixed disc or button between the worm and the shank, so that the worm would not advance further when the button reached the top of the bottle.
