ABSTRACT:
An opener for assisting in the opening of beverage cans of the type having a pull-up tab which levers a scored closure segment of the lid down into the can and beverage bottles of the type having a twist-off cap. The opener has an elongated body with a can tab actuator at one end and bottle cap torqueing structure at the other end. The tab actuator is bent or inclined relative to the main body of the opener so that the main body provides a down-turned handle for operating the tab actuator, while the tab actuator provides a down-turned handle for operating the cap torqueing structure. The tab actuating structure has opposed, open-sided lower and upper jaws, with a longitudinally arranged rib on the upper jaw defining both a narrow, tab-gripping notch between the jaws and a lead-in ramp for guiding a tab into the notch.
