MULTIFUNCTIONAL 21-IN-1 OPENER

摘要

An opener for opening the pull tab of beverage cans, made of plastics, elastomers, silicones, rubbers and other polymers, with an elongated, elliptic tubular shape 3 (figures 1A, B, C), sufficiently wide to cover the pull tab 7, or with another geometric shape (figures 9 to 11), or six-sided, inter alia. The dimensions, thickness, hardness and flexibility 8 are selected to optimise and facilitate insertion 10 over the pull tab 7 in order to open the beverage can 11. The main difference and innovation is the unprecedented flexibility 8, which easily overcomes the level difference 9 between the can edge 5 and the beginning of the pull tab 7, without requiring any effort to insert the opener, the body 1 of which forms the lever 12. The opener can also be used to open metal and plastic screw caps, being rigid enough to open the pull tab of beverage cans and flexible enough to envelop the screw cap, making it easier to open the cap in an optimised manner (figure 7, 8 or 14). The opener is also a bag opener, formed by the cavity in the body of the opener, when the body (4) if hollow, or by the hollow ends of the body, when the body is solid, for which purpose a pull tab for beverage cans (figure 16) or a fixed blade (figures 15 and 20) arranged inside the opener is used. The opener can also open caps of glass bottles, for which purpose a can pull tab (figures 24 and 25) or special ring (figures 21 to 23 and 26 to 28) are used. The opener is also a multi-tone whistle (figure 29) and the body of the opener has a total of 21 effective functions. The opener is therefore inventive, industrially applicable and without precedent. It represents an excellent functional and technological innovation.
