Abstract
A bottle opening device includes a flat base member which is adapted to be secured to a counter top or the like by suction cups on an under surface of the base member. A support member is secured to an upper surface of the base member and is provided with a horizontally disposed slot extending therethrough. An elongated strap is secured at one end to the support member adjacent the slot. The strap is adapted to extend about the periphery of the bottle and pass through the slot. Upon rotation of the lid and bottle in an opening direction, the bottle will clamp the strap between the bottle and the support member to immobilize the bottle so that upon continued application of turning force to the lid, the lid will be unscrewed from the bottle.
