ABSTRACT:
A can opener having at least two guide rollers or wheels positioned to moveably engage the underside of the lip around the top of a standard cylindrical tin can. These guide rollers are held in position by a main bracket that also holds a pivotably mounted cutter arm. The cutter arm includes a cutting device or wheel that is pushed through the top lid of the can just inside the outer lip when the cutting arm is depressed. When the cutting device has punctured the top lid of the can, the cutter arm is drawn around the periphery of the can, in one quick, easy motion to open the top of the can. The guide rollers hold the cutting device against the inside of the lip of the can and keep it penetrating through the top surface of the lid of the can throughout the operation.
