Specification of Letters Patent.
Patented Sept. 18, 1906.
Application filed February 21,1906. Serial No. 302.276.
T0 (LZZ whom/ it 71mg concern.-
Be it known that I, HERBERT D. SHARP, a citizen of the United States, residing at Sandusky, in the county of Erie and State of Ohio, have invented a new and useful Can- Opener, of which the following is a specification.
This invention relates to can-openers, and has for its object to improve the construction and increase the efficiency of devices of this character.
YVith these and other objects in view, which will appear as the nature of the invention is better understood, the invention consists in certain novel features of construction, as hereinafter fully described and claimed.
In the accompanying drawings, forming a part of this specification, and in which corresponding parts are denoted by like designating characters, is illustrated the preferred form of the embodiment of the invention capable of carrying the same into practical operation.
Figure 1 is a perspective view of the device. Fig. 2 is a longitudinal sectional view. Fig. 3 is a transverse section on the line 3 3 of Fig. 1. Fig. 4 is a perspective view of the cutting-blade detached.
The improved device comprises a stock 10, preferably in the form of a stove-lid lifter with the lifter portion 11 at one end and the handle at the other end, the handle portion being hollow and provided with a longitudinal slot 12 and the lifter portion formed with a tack-pulling claw 13. The stock 10 is also provided with a corkscrew lei, pivoted at 15 therein and foldable within the hollow under portion when not in use, as shown in Fig. 2, the corkscrew being yieldably supported in its two positions by a spring 16 and with a recess 17, formed within the hollow portion to enable the thumb of the operator to be inserted beneath the point of the corkscrew to release the same when folded.
Disposed in the sides of the slot 12 are guidec'hannels 18 19, opening at the ends into the hollow portion of the stock, as rep- Slidably disposed in the channels 18 19 is a plate 21, having a cuttingblade 22 extending therefrom through the slot 12.
A can-puncturing pin 23 is connected to the outer end of the handle portion of the stock.
The plate 21 with its blade 22 is insertible' in the guide-channels 18 19 through the open ends 20 of the same and being of resilient metal, preferably steel, and slightly wider than the distance between the bottoms of the channels will buckle or bend transversely when forced into the channels and will thus engage them sufficiently tight to prevent accidental displacement, while at the same time readily adjustable longitudinally of the channels or toward and away from the puncturing-spur.
The stock 10 with its puncturing-spur 23 and cutting-blade 22 form an effective can opener, whereby an aperture of any required diameter may be out within the range of the slot 12, as will be obvious.
The implement is simple in construction, strong and durable, efficient in action, and can be inexpensively manufactured.
Having thus described the invention, what is claimed is 1. In an implement of the class described, a stock having a puncturing-spur at one end and a longitudinal slot provided with guidechannels in the sides thereof, said channels open at one end, and a plate slidable in said channels and provided with a cutting-blade protruding through said slot.
2. In an implement of the class described, a stock having a puncturing-spur at one end and a longitudinal slot provided with guidechannels in the sides thereof, said channels open at one end, and a plate of resilient metal slightly wider than the. distance between said channels and adapted to be forced into the same and with a cutting-blade protruding therefrom through said slot.
In testimony that I claim the foregoing as my own I have hereto affixed my signature in the presence of two witnesses.
HERBERT D. SHARP.
