ABSTRACT:
A multiple-function beverage container opener is provided which features an ergonomically-shaped, elongate body having a stay-on tab opener on one end thereof, a crimped-on bottle cap opener on the opposite end thereof, and twist-off bottle opener in a central socket portion thereof. The stay-on tab opener is characterized by an arcuate loop formed between outboard and inboard arcuate-shaped lances. The arcuate-shaped lances and loop are provided with a radius that is substantially similar to the rim of the beverage container lid so that the loop fits between the tab handle and the rim of the beverage container. A ramp is coined in the arcuate loop to further assist in the camming of the tab handle upwardly into the arcuate loop for further pivoting and opening of the scored closure of the stay-on tab opener. The socket formed in the central portion of the opener contains and arcuate array of gear-shaped socket teeth provided with a pitch that is approximately twice the pitch of the gear-shaped cap teeth disposed on the twist-cap, the socket teeth having a nominal diameter somewhat greater than the diameter of the cap teeth so that a quick and effective fit is achieved for the operation of the twist-off cap. The end of the opener opposite the stay-on tab opener contains a pry-bar type opener for crimped-on bottle caps.
