R. R. QUACKENBUSH CAN OPENER Filed Aug. l, 1922 Patented Dec. 18, 1923.
Roy n. co'Acifrnniatrsn,` or GRAND niirrns, MICHIGAN.
CN' OPENER.
Application filed August 1, 1922. Serial No.i579,006.
To aZZ witam it may concem:
Be it known that I, RoY R. QUAOKEN- nnsrr, a citizenrof the United States, residing at Grand Rapids, in the county of Kent and State of` Michigan, have invented a new` and useful Can Opener, lowing isa specificatlon.
of which the fol- This invention-relates to'can openers, one
of the objects being to provide a simple and efiicient device which is to cans of different sizes inj ury to the user.
Another object is to p readily adj ustable and which can be rovide a device of this character whichvis cheap to manufacture, durable, and will not readily get out of order.
vWith the foregoing and other objects in view which will appear as the description proceeds, the 'invention resides in the combination and arrangement of parts and in the details of constructi scribed and clalrned, 1t
on hereinafter debeing understood i that within theV iscope of what is clainied, 25 changes in the 'precise embodiment of the invention shown can be made without departing from the spirit of the invention.
In the accompanying drawings the preferred form of the invention has been shown.
;m In said drawings Figure l is a side elevation of the device. Figure 2 is a bottom plan view thereof. Figure 3 is an end elevat1on.
Figure t is a perspecti V :x5 'justable member.
ve view of the adparallelH with the bar.
A prong 4: is extended downwardly from the center of the bar 1 and constitutes the pivot member about which the device use.
rotates while in thus hold the sleeve 5 against sliding movement. An angular cutting blade 7 is struck downwardlyfrom the sleeve 5 or is otherwise formed thereon.
VVhen it is desired to open a can the prong 'at is forced in the center of the top thereof. Previously' to this, however, the sleeve 5 is adjusted along the bar 1 until the blade 7 is brought to the point where the cut is to be made. The set screw 6 is then tightened to hold the sleeve against further movement. Thus when the prong 4 is forced downwardly into the can the blade 7 will also be forced thereinto. After the parts are thus arranged the device can be rotated about the prong i as a pivot and the blade 7 will cut through the can so as to sever the top thereof.
That is claimed is In a can Opener the combination with a bar, of a yoke fixedly connected at its ends to the end portions of the bar, a handle carried'by the yoke, a prong fixed to and extending from the center of the bar, a sleeve embracing and slidably mounted on the bar, said sleeve being insertible onto either end of the bar. and Inovable from the prong to the end of the bar, the top of the sleeve being opened to pass the yoke. a Cutting blade struck from and integral with the sleeve, and means carried by the sleeve for engaging the bar to hold the sleeve against movement along the bar.
In testimcny that I claim the foregoing as my own, I have hereto afiixed my signature in the presence of two witnesses.
