ABSTRACT:
An apparatus for removing the contents of a can which uses a conventional can opener having a triangularly shaped outside edge forward portion for opening a can. Positioned on the front of the can opener near the outside edge is an opening air sealing device whereby as the outside edge forward portion makes an opening in the can the opening air sealing device closes the opening. An air pressurizing device in the form of a squeeze bulb and a conduit defining a passageway are attached to the can opener and the conduit defining a passageway is positioned through the opening air sealing device at one end of the air pressurizing device and the conduit is connected to the squeeze bulb at the other end of the air pressurizing device. After the top of the can is removed, the apparatus is pressed downwardly onto the bottom of the can thereby making a hole in the bottom of the can, the hole being sealed by the opening air sealing device such that the conduit extends through the opening air sealing device into the inside of the can. Air is pressurized in the can by the air pressurizing device and flows through the conduit into the bottom of the can thereby forcing the contents of the can to be pushed out through the top of the can.
