ABSTRACT:
An opener for beverage cans which employ fulcrum-type tab openers is described. Fulcrum-type openers effect the rupture opening of a drinking aperture within a can body through displacement of a key which remains affixed to the can. The key is subsequently rotated back to its original position while the contents of the can are consumed. The opener includes an elongated handle and a tab embracing element which abuts the upper and lower surfaces of the key simultaneously allowing the user to gain a mechanical advantage both in opening the aperture and returning the key to its original position. The opener can be integrally configured from a piece of tubing which has been crimped or flattened at one end or, alternatively, from an elongated piece of metal band. Additionally, advertising indicia can be included on the handle as well as attachment means to permit securing the opener to a single can or multiple container pack as a promotional item.
