1. A combination corkscrew tool and pipe comprising:
- (a) a first handle member having a bore extending along the longitudinal axis and communicating with a one end of said first handle member to form a mouthpiece;
(b) an access port located on an outer surface of said first handle member and communicating with the bore;
(c) a second handle member having;
(i) a bowl in one end for holding smoking material;
(ii) a helical, cork-penetrating blade extending outwardly from an opposing end;
(iii) a hole extending transversely through said second handle member, intermediate the blade and the bowl, of a size and shape to receive said first handle member therethrough;
(iv) a channel through said second handle member connecting the bowl with the hole; and
(d) wherein said first handle member and said second handle member are configurable in;
(i) a storage configuration wherein the helical, cork-penetrating blade is received in the bore of said first handle member; and
(ii) a use configuration wherein said first handle member is positioned transversely through the hole in said second handle member with the access port of said first handle member in communication with the channel of said second handle member to form a flow path between the mouthpiece in said first handle member and the bowl in said second handle member permitting the combination to be used as a smoking pipe and a corkscrew tool in the same use configuration.

Abstract
A corkscrew tool and pipe combination including a first handle member having a bore that extends along a longitudinal axis and communicates with one end thereof and defines a mouthpiece. An access port is located on an outer surface of the first handle member and communicates with the bore. A second handle member has a bowl in one end for holding smoking material, a helical, cork-penetrating blade that extends outwardly from an opposing end, a hole that extends transversely through the second handle member, intermediate the blade and the bowl, of a size and shape to receive the first handle member therethrough, and a channel through the second handle member that connects the bowl with the hole. The first handle member and the second handle member are configurable in a storage configuration wherein the helical, cork-penetrating blade is received in the bore of the first handle member and a use configuration wherein the first handle member is positioned transversely through the hole in the second handle member with the access port of the first handle member in communication with the channel of the second handle member to form a flow path between the mouthpiece in the first handle member and the bowl in the second handle member permitting the combination to be used as a smoking pipe and a corkscrew tool in the same use configuration.
