ABSTRACT:
A portable can opener tool shaped as a gun, with an elongated trigger pivoted to a butt handle. Pulling of the trigger to the butt of the handle serves to rotate a can past the blade of the tool so as to cut the top of the can away from the can rim. The tool incorporates a basic frame member to which a cutter frame is pivoted at the front end of the basic frame with both the basic frame and cutter frame extending to form butt handle ends which are drawn together to clamp the cutter blade into a can top. The trigger is pivoted to the basic frame and pivotably joined to a pusher arm which bears against radial members of a shaft fixed to a rachet wheel, or alternately, the pusher arm is fitted with rachet teeth for directly bearing against the rim of a can to be rotated against the cutter blade. The cutter blade may be in the form of a free turning wheel.
