ABSTRACT:
The present invention provides a jar opener which is designed for easy handling by people with arthritis. The jar opener providing a larger than normal handle with one end being flat and non functional while the opposite end is indented in a concave dish design, with a gripping teeth thereon, so as to accommodate and mate with the ribbed edge of any cap on ajar. A gripping strap loosely wraps around the cap of ajar while the opposite end of the strap aligns and tightens onto the opposite side of the handle by a releasable securing means, such as VELCRO. The user then grasps the handle of the present invention in one hand and uses their opposite hand to stabilize the jar. The user simple applies grasping pressure on the handle of the present invention and pushes in a counter clockwise direction thereby loosening the cap while rotating the cap of the jar to the open position. The strap is sufficiently long enough to be wrapped around any size circumference of a cap. The present invention has a preferred list of component parts and a method of use sequence for removing the cap of any jar.
