Grape grabs cork grip

Abstract

A small elastic band designed to slip over a wine cork to allow one to get a good grip on the cork and ease removal without having to use costly, cumbersome, frustrating contraptions that usually result in a damaged cork and/or cork bits in your wine.

I claim:  
     
         1 . An elastic band specifically designed to ease removal of a wine cork from a previously opened, re-corked bottle of wine.  
     
     
         2 . Said band is designed to easily slip over a wine cork so that one can get a good grip on the cork and remove it easily utilizing ones bare hands.  
     
     
         3 . Said band is approximately {fraction (1/32)}″ thick, 1⅛″ in length (when laid flat), and ¾″ wide but these dimensions can vary significantly due to the impreciseness of the manufacturing process.  
     
     
         4 . Said band is produced in a variety of colors and left blank or imprinted with logos or designs.
