ABSTRACT:
A device for detaching the top of the can and draining the fluid contained therein. In the first embodiment, an upper and lower handle are adjustable in relation to one another to account for different can sizes. A conventional can opener is attached to a plunger that includes a magnet. A can is placed on a lower, can bottom engaging member, and the can opener is operated to detach the top of the can. The plunger can then be pressed downwardly, with the can being securely held by the device, and the liquid contained therein is thus expelled. In the second embodiment, The handle is a single, substantially vertical member. Integral to it is a can bottom engaging member. The can is placed on the member, and then a can lip engaging member and a plunger, also including a magnet, are manipulated to hold the can in place. The otherwise conventional can opener is used to open the can and the plunger can be manipulated, as before, to expel the liquid from the can. In both embodiments, the magnet on the end of the plunger allows the user to easily remove the detached top when the operation is completed.
