ABSTRACT:
An improved container opener is disclosed for removing bottle caps of the threaded type. The container opener has a handle and a bottle and/or can opener at one end of the handle. The bottle opener includes a lip for engaging the top of a standard bottle cap and a tang for engaging under the skirt of the bottle cap for prying the cap from a bottle. The can opener includes a tapered blade terminating in a point for piercing the top of a can and a tang for engaging the side of the can while the blade is piercing the top. The improvement comprises means disposed on at least one of the bottle opener and the can opener for engaging a threaded bottle cap in at least three spaced locations defining a triangle such that counterclockwise rotation of the container opener as it engages the threaded bottle cap will rotatably remove the cap.
