ABSTRACT:
A pry device adapted for removing a lid from a container comprises a first lever member, a second lever member and a fulcrum element interconnecting the first and second lever members for relative pivotal movement therebetween. The first lever member has a first handle portion and a first lip portion opposite the first handle portion. The first lip portion is configured to engage an edge portion of the lid when the lid is secured to the container. The second lever member has a second handle portion and a second lip portion opposite the second handle portion. The second lip portion is configured to engage a flange on the container. The first and second lip portions are movable between a contracted position and an expanded position. In the contracted position, the first and second lip portions are at a first distance sufficiently to respectfully engage the edge portion of the lid and the flange. In the expanded position, the first and second lip portions are separated a second distance greater than the first distance while respectfully engaged with the edge portion of the lid and the flange. The first and second lip portions are operative to exert a prying force between the edge portion of the lid and the flange thereby removing the lid from the container when the first and second lip portions are moved from the contracted position to the extended position.
