ABSTRACT:
Apparatus for use in removing container caps and especially screw cap elements which may be tightly engaged with the top of a container body. The apparatus comprises a housing having a base and side wall means arranged to form an enclosure within which a pair of fixed cap gripping jaws are secured by means of a spacer and divider plate elements in spaced relation to one another. The several components are further arranged to define cap receiving spaces occurring in two different levels in the housing capable of accommodating a wide range of cap sizes. Rotatably attached to the base at one side thereof is a flat handle element whose outer end projects from the housing to provide a grip.
The handle member is constructed with cap gripping jaw parts which may be moved, together with the handle, toward and away from respective fixed jaw portions. The housing is constructed for use in either one of two ways. The housing may be secured by fastenings to the underside of a shelf or cover or the like. In such case the container cover is gripped by the handle and the container may be manually turned. In another mode, the housing may be placed over a container which is at rest and the housing is then manually turned with the aid of finger grips formed along the outer surface of the side wall.
