Abstract (en)
Caps with pull rings can be difficult to remove, especially for persons having weak finger strength. In order to facilitate the removal, a cap opener according to the present invention can be applied. The opener comprises a handle (1) which is provided with an elevation in the form of a bent part (2) having an elongated slot or opening (3). By inserting the pull ring (4) into the opening (3), the ring will extend over the handle (1) to the effect that the handle (1) can be raised and thus release the cap (5,6) easily and effortlessly. The opener can be applied to cans as well as to bottles having caps with pull rings (4). <IMAGE>
