Thus, an opener for a pull-top can that can be opened without load even if it is frequently used is provided.
A hook portion of a pull top can opener made of a rigid material in a plate shape is inserted into a ring, and a handle portion is rotated upward along an arc portion of an operation arrow with the hook portion groove serving as a fulcrum. Can open easily with less force than the point continuous simultaneous operation method.

Description

  The present invention belongs to an opener for a pull-top can.

  Looking at the inventions and ideas that have been published so far, for example, utility model registration No. 3080568 is quite different from the product shape and design that the present invention aims. This product uses a pulling force to open the can by hooking the tip of the opener to the pull-top ring and pulling up the product with the fingertip. However, after hooking the tip, a strong force must be applied to the fingertip. It is dedicated to beverage cans and does not support various canned foods with different pull-top shapes. It is unsuitable for supporting the physically vulnerable (children, the elderly, women) and those who value their hands and fingers. The present invention is not limited to the application of conventional tab raising and mere levers, but adopts an original two-point continuous simultaneous operation (forced compression) method. is the current situation.

  At present, pull-top cans are frequently changed in shape and design by food / beverage manufacturers in order to bring out the features of each product and brand name. Therefore, not only physically weak people (children, elderly people, women) who are said to be difficult to open, especially those who value their hands and fingers, but also the general public feel inconvenience. . Aside from luxury goods, measures are not taken for emergency foods (disaster prevention foods and drinking water), daily-use baby foods, milk and pet foods. Therefore, the present invention aims to provide an opener for a pull-top can that can be opened (including canned foods and the like) reliably and easily by any person with a slight force.

  In order to solve the above problems, the present invention processes a rigid material into a plate shape, presses the cutting part of the can at the tip, the hook part / hook part groove inserted into the ring of the can, the upper part from the previous pressing part It consists of a circular arc part extending in the direction followed by a handle part. Grab the handle so that the hook groove is positioned below, pull it forward until it clicks into the ring to match the hook groove, and use the hook groove as a fulcrum to move the ring to the arc. The handle can be easily opened by a two-point continuous simultaneous operation (forced compression) system by rotating the handle portion upward along the line. In the case of food cans (canned foods), the can lid can be completely opened by pulling it forward with the can open.

  The opener for a pull top can of the present invention can be opened reliably with a slight force without damaging nails, fingers, palms and arms, regardless of the design of the pull top can, the shape of the ring, and the position of the tab. In the case of canned foods, not only domestic products but also foreign products can be handled.

  The pull-top can opener according to the present invention will be described below, but this description does not explain all of the invention, but is a brief description based on the drawings.

These are the perspective views of the moment which is going to rotate the handle | pattern part 5 of the opener which inserts the opener for pull top cans (canned goods) of this invention in the ring 6, and is grasped with the right hand. Inserts the opener for pull-top cans (compatible with beverages, etc.) of the present invention into the ring 6 and pivots the handle 5 of the opener gripped with the right hand upward to force the cut-out (opening) 7 of the pull-top can hole It is a perspective view of the moment when the compression part 2 pushes down. These are the front views which looked at the hook part 3 of the opener for pull top cans of this invention on the left, and the broken-line part displays the free-form handle | pattern part 5. FIG. These are the rear views which looked at the hook part 3 of the opener for pull top cans of this invention on the right.

Claims (2)

  A rigid material is processed into a plate shape, and consists of a compression part that presses the cut part of the can at the tip, a hook part / hook part groove that is inserted into the ring of the can, an arc part that extends upward from the compression part, and a handle part that follows it The handle part is gripped so that the hook part groove is located below, and pulled to the front until it clicks so that the hook part groove matches with the ring, and the ring is operated with the hook part groove as a fulcrum. An opener for a pull top can characterized in that the handle is rotated by a two-point continuous simultaneous operation method by rotating the handle portion upward along the arc portion.   The shape of the handle is ergonomic, and is made of wood, metal, resin, etc. depending on the purpose of use, grip, anti-slip, etc. Pull-top can opener with a free-form hole for hanging, with design and decoration such as winding, sealing, engraving, plating, printing, etc.
