ABSTRACT:
A symmetrical, one-piece, aesthetically and ergonomically pleasing bottle opener and re-capping device is made up of a main body having a substantially annular shape, the central opening of the annulus having a substantially cylindrical shape with inwardly extending flanges at each end, the first inwardly extending flange having a planar, axially-inward facing first surface for engaging a lower surface of a bottle cap, and a curved or inclined second surface opposite the first surface for enabling the opener to be snapped over the bottle cap into a position at which the first surfaces can be caused to engage the lower edge of the bottle cap, and the second inwardly extending flange having a substantially planar axially-inward facing surface that engages the top of the bottle cap to retain the cap following removal and to apply pressure to the top of the bottle cap during re-capping.
