ABSTRACT:
The subject device comprises two cams structurally supported from a base attachable to a vertical surface. The cams are positioned to interact with the lift-tabs of lift-tab containers as the container is in a vertical position and moved first toward the device and then from it. As the container is moved toward the opener, one cam engages the lift-tab and lifts it to open the container. As the container is moved away from the opener, the other cam depresses the lift tab to approximately its position before the can was opened. The cams are positioned one behind the other in a line perpendicular to the vertical surface. The tab lifting cam extends below the tab depressing cam and is the closer of the two to the base. The end of the lift tab moves below the end of the depressing cam as the container is moved into the opener and raised by the lifting cam. The lifted tab is then engaged and depressed by the depressing cam as the container is moved away from the opener. The depressing cam is above the opening cam and is configured to allow clear visibility of the engagement of the opening cam with the tab.
