ABSTRACT:
An opener accessory for opening containers designed with flip-top opening mechanisms. The accessory is formed in the shape of a finger band having a pry end extending from the finger band for urging a pull-tab member of a flip-top opening mechanism. The opener accessory is preferably produced from a flat, thin, narrow, one-piece construction metallic structure formed having a pry end at one end and a finger band end at the other end. The finger band is formed as a rounded portion and a straight portion for encircling a user's finger, such as a thumb. The straight portion extends across the rounded portion and terminates at the finger band end. The pry end is formed as an integral extension of the finger band's rounded portion and is preferably machined stamped and chamfered for facilitating snagging a pull-tab member of the flip-top opening mechanism. In certain respects the accessory's pry end resembles a fingertip and fingernail, but accomplishes the same function without the normal prying discomfort.
