Abstract

A device comprising a corkscrew; and a protrusion comprising a sleeve and one or more protrusion cells. Methods of using the device are also disclosed.

Claims (28)

1 . A device comprising:

a corkscrew, wherein the corkscrew comprises a securing flange at a first end of the corkscrew;

wherein the securing flange comprises a torquing mechanism, wherein the torquing mechanism is configured to transmit a torque from the first end of the corkscrew to a second end of the corkscrew.

2 . The device of claim 1 , wherein the protrusion further comprises an upper extension that extends a distance away from an upper edge of a protrusion cell.

3 . The device of claim 1 , wherein the protrusion further comprises a lower extension that extends a distance away from a lower edge of a protrusion cell.

4 . The device of claim 1 , wherein the protrusion further comprises an upper extension that extends a distance away from an upper edge of a protrusion cell and a lower extension that extends a distance away from a lower edge of a protrusion cell.

5 . The device of claim 1 , wherein each of the one or more protrusion cells comprises one or more walls.

6 . The device of claim 5 , wherein the one or more walls are configured to be removable.

7 . The device of claim 1 , wherein each of the one or more protrusion cells comprises a protrusion aperture, wherein the protrusion aperture is configured to surround plant material in an installed configuration.

8 . A plurality of devices of claim 1 , wherein an adjacent device is configured to contact another adjacent device along a contact area.

9 . The plurality of devices of claim 8 , wherein the contact area further comprises a connector between the adjacent devices.

10 . The plurality of devices of claim 8 , wherein a bounded opening is formed between adjacent devices.

11 . A device comprising:

a corkscrew, wherein the corkscrew comprises a securing flange at a first end of the corkscrew;

a protrusion comprising a sleeve and one or more protrusion cells, wherein in an installed configuration the securing flange contacts at least a portion of the sleeve, and wherein the one or more protrusion cells are within a perimeter of the protrusion, wherein the protrusion further comprises an upper extension that extends a distance away from an upper edge of a protrusion cell.

12 . The device of claim 11 , wherein the protrusion further comprises a lower extension that extends a distance away from a lower edge of a protrusion cell.

13 . The device of claim 11 , wherein the protrusion further comprises an upper extension that extends a distance away from an upper edge of a protrusion cell and a lower extension that extends a distance away from a lower edge of a protrusion cell.

14 . The device of claim 11 , wherein each of the one or more protrusion cells comprises one or more walls that are configured to be removable.

15 . A plurality of devices of claim 11 , wherein an adjacent device is configured to contact another adjacent device along a contact area.

16 . A plurality of devices, each device comprising:

a corkscrew, wherein the corkscrew comprises a securing flange at a first end of the corkscrew;

wherein an adjacent device is configured to contact another adjacent device along a contact area, and

wherein a bounded opening is formed between adjacent devices.

17 . The plurality of devices of claim 16 , wherein each of the one or more protrusion cells comprises one or more walls that are configured to be removable.

18 . The plurality of devices of claim 16 , wherein the protrusion further comprises an upper extension that extends a distance away from an upper edge of a protrusion cell.

19 . The plurality of devices of claim 16 , wherein the protrusion further comprises a lower extension that extends a distance away from a lower edge of a protrusion cell.
