ABSTRACT:
A lift-up tab opener for a beverage can is improved by providing an actuator with a finger loop and pressure tab to push open a closure tab as in the prior art. The actuator is modified to elevate the pressure tab with a bend forming a fulcrum, so that the pressure tab can be pushed to elevate the finger loop for ease of grasping it to operate the actuator.
