Abstract
Device for opening container lids. The device includes a rod that has an axial direction and a loop formed at one end of the rod. The device also includes a flange that has first and second ends, wherein the first end is attached to the other end of the rod at a predetermined angle with respect to the axial direction, and a curved tip is formed at the second end of the rod. The user holds the loop and a portion of the rod to repeatedly apply leverage force to a lid of a container and thereby to pry the lid from the container.
Claims17
A container lid opening tool, comprising:
- a rod having an axial direction;
- a loop formed at one end of said rod;
- a flange having first and second ends, said first end being attached to the other end of said rod at a predetermined angle with respect to said axial direction, said loop being formed on a plane and said flange being substantially on said plane;
- and
- a curved tip formed at said second end of said flange,
- wherein a user of said tool holds said loop and a portion of said rod to repeatedly apply leverage force to a lid of a container thereby to pry the lid from the container.
(canceled)
A container lid opening tool, comprising:
- a rod having an axial direction;
- a handle enclosing one end portion of said rod;
- a flange having first and second ends, said first end being attached to the other end of said rod at a predetermined angle with respect to said axial direction;
- and
- a curved tip formed at said second end of said flange and having a distal edge oriented in a direction substantially parallel to a plane defined by said axial direction and said flange, said flange being substantially on said plane,
- wherein a user of said tool holds said handle to repeatedly apply leverage force to a lid of a container and thereby to pry the lid from the container.
