ABSTRACT:
An adapter is provided for the conventional can opener which allows the can opener to be used for removing the top of a common aluminum type beverage can. A circular ring sized to slidably fit the outside of a beverage can is held in position by a support member which includes a mounting flange which can be secured to an outward extending flange of a can opener. A clamp or other suitable fastener may be used for attaching the adapter to the can opener. The support member holds the can positioning ring so that the bottom portion of the can is tilted outward and slightly forward from the can opener cutting mechanism. The rotation of the cutting wheel is reversed from normal so that the forward portion of the can is drawn into the cutting edge to permit the can top to be severed and the remaining edge rolled under. The adapter allows the opened beverage can to be used as a beverage glass, a baking pan, or a container for potted plants.
