Abstract

Can opener, characterized in that it is constituted by a handle forming a gripping arm and a head for the cutting device, whose device consists of a transverse axis which, at one end, is coupled to a driving crank and, on the other, it is fixed on a wheel having a peripheral recess on its inner edge, with an acute angle profile forming a cylindrical face with grooves, and a frustoconical face also provided with grooves, a circular blade with a slightly frustoconical profile also being contained in said head. Wherein the protruding edge is the cutting element and whose axis is perpendicular to that of the said wheel, both axes being in the same vertical plane according to the position of use of the instrument, so that said wheel is placed on the upper base of the container and flanking its peripheral seaming flange, whereby its cylindrical face is applied against the seaming flange, while the frustoconical face does so against the inner side, while said blade locates its cutting edge against the outer flank of said seaming rim, so that, when the instrument is supported on the container by a side shank of its handle, the handle is held with a and the handle is rotated with the other hand, the flange between the said wheel and blade being imprisoned, the head advancing around the container, during which the blade exerts the cutting of the outer sheet of the seaming flange, after which the upper base of the container is loose and provided with a peripheral grooved relief in an inverted position, suitable to serve as a lid on the container.
