Abstract
Provided is an opener that allows for a smaller angle of aperture between the members when used, even with handle parts and trapping parts of the same size. Furthermore, the opener can be easily and reliably turned, so as to remove a cork or cap, with a hand covering the cork or cap. The opener comprises a pair of members; the members each having a handle part, a trapping part for trapping a cork or cap, and a hinge part; the trapping part is located between the handle part and the hinge part; the pair of members is hingeably coupled at the hinge parts so as to rotate around a hinge axis between an open position and a closed position; and the hinge parts project in the lengthwise directions of the members.
