Container Top Opener With Directionally Inclined Gripping Ribs

US Patent:
2008007, Mar 27, 2008
Filed:
Sep 21, 2006
Appl. No.:
11/523934
Inventors:
Walter C. Dye - Winchester CA, US
International Classification:
B67B 7/44, B67B 7/18, B67B 7/14
US Classification:
81 309, 81 34
Abstract:
This invention is directed toward a container top opener with a hand gripping portion and a concave container top gripping portion. The device has a series of tapered gripping ribs which allow the device to be used on a wide range of container top sizes. The gripping ribs are directionally inclined such that the tighter a user twists the device, the more securely the gripping ribs bite into the container top and assist the user in untightening and removing the container top.
