In 1795 The Revd Samuel Henshall was the first person to patent a corkscrew.  His simple addition of a button at the top of the worm made it easier to remove a cork by helping to break the seal between cork and glass.

 The torpedo shape of the turned hardwood handle makes it particularly comfortable in the hand.
