ABSTRACT:
A hand held and base operated can opener combination that can be both operated in a base mounted counter top configuration and a portable hand held configuration is disclosed. Consisting of a base unit with an integral power supply and battery charger, it is physically connected to a head unit containing rechargeable batteries, an electric motor, a conventional can opening mechanism, a manual can opening means, and associated electrical control circuitry. The invention may be utilized to open cans on a kitchen counter top by attaching the can and pressing down on the top lever section of the unit, in the same manner as one would use a conventional electric can opener. The invention may also be operated in a portable hand held configuration, in the same manner as one would use a manual hand operated can opener, except with the added convenience of pressing a switch to operate an electric motor in lieu of a hand crank.
