ABSTRACT:
A pocket can opener comprises a body with a propelling wheel and a handle for rotating the propelling wheel and a cutter blade pivotally attached to the body so that both the handle and the cutter blade can fold down across the body with the cutter blade overlying and being of such a size as to cover the propelling wheel when the can opener is in inoperative condition. The cutter blade also provides a bottle opener at its free end having a longer arm and a shorter arm, the longer arm being shaped also as an opener for pressed-on jar lids, this latter opener structure being so arranged as to take up no additional space in the folded condition of the parts. Also, a further blade is pivoted on the first-mentioned blade and has sharpened edges for puncturing and slitting aluminum or plastic or other packaging materials for food products and is so constructed as to lie flat against and be masked by the longer arm of the bottle opener in its inoperative condition but to project freely and have purchase against a guide bar of the can opener in its operative condition, in which latter case the first-mentioned cutter blade becomes in effect part of a handle for the puncturing and slitting blade.
