Carl Hollweg registered his design for a collapsing corkscrew on November 7, 1901 in Germany (No. 171,941). He had not patented the corkscrew in Germany but it had already been patented in England (1890) and in the U. S. A. and France (1891). The collapsing pocket corkscrew protected the pocket from the worm. Hinges in four places allow the user to fully close the corkscrew for storage or fully open to use the case as the handle. Several examples are shown on the following pages.
