Pull-type, hand-held package opener with pivoting blade guard

摘要

The device is a hand-held, ergonomic-friendly pull-cut tool for opening transparent thermoformed (heat-sealed plastic) over-packaging that encapsulates small consumer products. Consumers find it difficult to remove these thermoformed "clamshells." Our package opener with pivoting blade guard safely and effectively removes these thermoformed enclosures by piercing and slicing the plastic in one smooth motion.
