ABSTRACT:
A pliers-type top opener has a pair of pivotally interconnected handles each having a gripper at one end. Each handle is bent from sheet steel and has a flat intermediate portion. The flat intermediate portions of the handles are pivotally interconnected for relative swinging movement about an axis passing through and perpendicular to the flat intermediate portions. The sheet steel of the handles is bent substantially 90.degree. about a helical bend out of the plane of the intermediate portion to form an end portion carrying the gripper. Each gripper has a web that extends from an edge of that end portion away from the other gripper and terminates in a flange which extends from the edge of each web remote from the other web, only in a direction away from the plane of the flat portion. Each web is spaced a substantial distance to one side of that plane, so that all portions of the flanges are spaced a substantial distance from that plane. The flanges are concave, and open toward each other to grasp a top between them when the handles are brought together. Each said flange has a concavity deeper than circular, so as to contact container tops at four peripherally spaced points about the top.
