Retractable bottle opener and method of use

A retractable bottle opener comprising:

• a wearable wrist band with a first end defining a first aperture, a second end opposite the first end and defining a second aperture, a band length spanning from the first end to the second end of the wrist band, a magnet coupled thereto, an outer surface, and an inner surface defining a channel spanning from the first aperture to the second aperture and sized to receive a user's limb, the second end including a terminal outer edge;
• and
• a bottle opener coupled to the wearable wrist band and having:
• a first end, a second end, and an opener length separating the first and second ends of the bottle opener;
• a working surface shaped to engage with a bottle and disposed along the opener length;
• a handle portion disposed along the opener length;
• a storage position along an opener translation path with both the working surface and the handle portion disposed at least one of along the band length and proximal to the first and second ends of the wrist band, the bottle opener held in the storage position with the magnet and, the bottle opener being oriented longitudinally from the first end of the wearable wrist band toward the second end of the wearable wrist band, the magnet having a magnetic force sufficient to retain a weight of the bottle opener;
• and an operational position along the opener translation path with the working surface and the handle portion not disposed along the band length and displaced at a distance removed from the terminal outer edge of the second end of the wrist band, wherein the bottle opener is rotatably placed in the opener translation path with a force sufficient to overcome the magnetic force used to retain the bottle opener.

A method of using and storing a wearable bottle opener, comprising the steps of:

• providing a wearable wrist band and a bottle opener coupled thereto, the wrist band having a magnet coupled thereto, a first end defining a first aperture, a second end opposite the first end and defining a second aperture, a band length spanning from the first end to the second end of the wrist band, an outer surface, and an inner surface defining a channel spanning from the first aperture to the second aperture and sized to receive a user's arm, the bottle opener having an opener length separating a first end and a second end of the bottle opener, the bottle opener being oriented longitudinally from the first end of the wearable wrist band toward the second end of the wearable wrist band, a working surface shaped to engage with a bottle, and a handle portion;
• encapsulating the wearable wrist band to the user's arm such that the first end is positioned proximal to a wrist area of a user and the second end is positioned on a forearm of the user;
• retaining the bottle opener on the wearable wrist band such that both the working surface and the handle portion are disposed at least one of along the forearm of the user and proximal to the wrist area of the user;
• and
• impelling the bottle opener in a direction away from the wearable wrist band through an impetus generated by a user's arm such that both the working surface and the handle portion are disposed in a user's hand, the impetus being a force sufficient to overcome a magnetic force of the magnet used to retain the bottle opener.
