Abstract

A can cutting device having a main body and a can support assembly coupled to the main body. The can support assembly having a shaft that extends along a longitudinal shaft axis, an eccentrically mounted mandrel that extends along a longitudinal mandrel axis parallel to the longitudinal shaft axis, and a cutter coupled to the main body having a cutting surface. The can is positionable in a mounted position such that the can is rotatable about a can axis of rotation, the cutting surface is positionable to contact the portion of the can body supported by the mandrel at the cutting location, and when the cutting surface is in contact with the portion of the can body supported by the mandrel at the cutting location and the can is rotated about the can axis of rotation, the cutting surface cuts the portion of the can body at the cutting location.

Dependent claims

A can cutting device for a can having an open end, a base end, and a can body extending between the open end and the base end, the can cutting device comprising:

a main body;
a can support assembly coupled to the main body, the can support assembly having a shaft that extends along a longitudinal shaft axis and a mandrel that extends along a longitudinal mandrel axis parallel to the longitudinal shaft axis, wherein the mandrel is eccentrically mounted to the shaft;
and
a cutter coupled to the main body, the cutter having a cutting surface;
wherein
the can is positionable in a mounted position on the mandrel with the can mounted in a position that holds the can body in contact with the mandrel at least at a cutting location,
when the can is positioned in the mounted position:
the can is rotatable about a can axis of rotation,
the cutting surface is positionable to contact the portion of the can body supported by the mandrel at the cutting location, and
when the cutting surface is in contact with the portion of the can body supported by the mandrel at the cutting location and the can is rotated about the can axis of rotation, the cutting surface cuts the portion of the can body at the cutting location.
