7481134 - Bottle opener with integrated wrapper cutter - Owned by Brookstone Purchasing, Inc. (Merrimack, NH)

A bottle opener has a holding body that holds the top of the container. The holding body has a support that contacts the container and a gripping member opposite the support. The gripping member moves relative to the support between a released position, in which the gripping member permits the container to be released from the device, and an engaged position, in which the gripping member causes the container to be held between the gripping member and the support. The bottle opener also has an extracting element, such as a corkscrew, operably connected to the holding body which extracts the stopper from the container. The bottle opener has an integrated cutter positioned on at least one of the support and the gripping member, the cutter being adapted to cut the wrapper.
