Abstract

A tin opener has a circular guide 2, a cutting piece 4 and a handle B. The cutting piece has two sharp cutting edges. <IMAGE>

Description

SPECIFICATION Tin opener The description A household tool, called tin opener, made of a plane with a band or a few pieces sticking out to form a circular or a curved guide, and a cutting piece sticking out within the circular or curved guide on one side of the plane, and a handle, which is optional, fixed on the other side of the plane, can be used to cut on a side of suitable size and shape of a normal tin open smoothly, when the side of the tin is placed within the circular guide or included by the curved guide, and pierced through by the cutting piece, and keeping the plane of the opener facing the side of the tin, the opener and the tin are forced to rotate in opposite directions.

The openers, made of a plane with a band or a few pieces sticking out along the circumference of a circle forming a circular guide on one side of the plane, and a cutting piece sticking out within the circle, but not at the centre, and a handle, which is optional, fixed on the other side of the plane, can be used to cut smoothly a round tin open along the circumference of the circle described by the cutting piece on the round side of the size just sliding in the circular guide, when the round side of the tin is placed in the circular guide and pierced through by the cutting piece, and keeping the plane of the opener facing the round side, the opener and the tin are forced to rotate in opposite directions.

The openers, characterised by a circular guide formed by a band, can be used to cut open an angular tin on the angular side of suitable size to the guide.

The openers, characterised by a circular guide formed by a band or a few pieces of a curved guide formed either by a band or a few pieces, can be used to cut open a round tin on the round side of suitable size to the guide of the openers.

The drawings Figure 1 to Figure 3 shows the views of the openers characterised by the circular guide formed by a band. Features (1) and (2) show a round, shallow container consisting of a round disc, feature (1), closing one end of the short cylinder, feature (2).

Feature (4)' its the cutting piece. The cutting arrow head is shown in Figure 4. The container, the cutting piece and the handle, feature (3), are shown bolted together by two bolts, feature (5).

In Figure 1, it shows part of feature (2) is cut offto show the cutting piece and the heads of the two bolts.

Best mode for carrying out the invention The invention can be carried out economically as follows. A band of 20 mm wide is cut offfrom an iron sheet of 1 mm thick. A short cylinder is formed by rounding the iron band and welding together the two ends of the band. A round disc, having the same diameter of the internal diameter of the cylinder, is also cut off from an iron sheet of 1 mm in thickness.

One end of the cylinder is closed by the round disc and welded to form a shallow container.

One end of a band of 16 mm wide of mild steel is cut to form a neckless arrow with a head of 9 mm long. The arrow head is sharpened to form two sharp edges for cutting. It is bonded to form an angle of 90" with the body in order to form the cutting piece. The handle can be cut out from an elongated metal piece of half an inch square in cross-section.

The handle, the cutting piece and the shallow container are double bolted together to form the opener.

Commercially, the handle and the shallow container must be cast together by plastic which is more economical.

CLAIM

1. A household tool, called tin opener, made of a plane with a band or a few pieces sticking out to form a circular or curved guide and a cutting piece sticking out within the circular or curved guide on one side of the plane and a handle fixed on the other side of the plane, can be used to cut on a side of suitable size and shape of a normal tin open smoothly when the side of the tin is placed within the circular guide or included by the curved guide and pierced through by the cutting piece, and keeping the plane of the opener pressing against the side of the tin, the opener and the tin are forced to rotate in opposite directions.
