The bottle cap prying structure has a bottle cap receiving opening therein with opposing edge portions. The bottle cap receiving opening is exposed within the access opening of the main body. A bottle cap edge engaging portion of the bottle cap prying structure is defined by a first one of the opposing edge portions of the bottle cap receiving opening. The magnet is positioned adjacent to a second one of the opposing edge portions of the bottle cap receiving opening.
Claims20
A bottle cap remover, comprising:
- a bottle cap prying structure having a bottle cap receiving opening therein with opposing edge portions, wherein a bottle cap edge engaging portion of the bottle cap prying structure is defined by a first one of the opposing edge portions of the bottle cap receiving opening, wherein a bottle cap bearing portion of the bottle cap prying structure is defined by a second one of the opposing edge portions of the bottle cap receiving opening, and wherein the bottle cap bearing portion protrudes toward the first one of the opposing edge portions of the bottle cap receiving opening;
- a main body fixedly attached to the bottle cap prying structure, wherein the main body is made of non-metallic material and is secured to the bottle cap prying structure in a fixed relationship with respect to the main body, wherein the main body includes a magnet receiving receptacle that extends at least partially over said protruding portion of the bottle cap bearing portion;
- and
- a magnet positioned within the magnet receiving receptacle, wherein the magnet and the magnet receiving receptacle are jointly configured such that at least a portion of the magnet is positioned over said protruding portion of the bottle cap bearing portion, and wherein the magnet is positioned over the top surface of the bottle cap prying structure.
