ABSTRACT:
A bottle cap remover having a gripping head and an actuator. The gripping head has at least two pivotally mounted arms biased in a closed position, each arm having a respective gripping surface. Preferably the bottle cap remover has a neutral state, an insertion state, a bottle-gripping state, and a cap-removal state. The method for removing a bottle cap from a bottle using the bottle cap remover includes the first step of inserting a bottle and bottle cap between the gripping surfaces of the pivotally mounted arms by forcing the pivotally mounted arms into an at least partially open position. The next step is gripping the bottle cap between the gripping surfaces. The next step is to activate the actuator so that the actuator moves between a neutral position and an extreme position thereby pulling and removing the bottle cap from the bottle.
