ABSTRACT:
Provided herein is an opener for use with ring-type can opening tabs. The opener includes a ring insertion head spaced from an elongated handle by an extension member. The insertion head comprises a pair of ring gripping ears symmetrically positioned about a common longitudinal centerline on which the extension member and insertion head lie. The extension member is tapered inwardly from the handle-extension interface to the head-extension interface, and the head is tapered inwardly from the head-extension interface to a blunt tip formed at the distal head end. The underside of the head is curved upwardly from a point between the ring gripping ears and the tip to the tip, while the ears are tapered upwardly from their underside. The head, because of the curved and tapered ears and tip, is easily slid beneath the tab ring and the ears maneuvered to grip that ring. Upward and forward pressure on the handle is multiplied over the length of the extension member to produce a lever-like mechanical advantage effortlessly opening the can.
