Abstract

See full text

A variable-position can opener for opening cans with various-sized beads has a pair of handles on a pivot and is able to pierce a can's lid. The cutter is on the first handle of a handle pair, and a driver, on the second handle, grips the bead and moves along its periphery. When handles are gripped, the cutter and driver are brought together and apply a piercing force to the can and bead. A pair of gears, one on the cutter and one on the driver, engages cutter and driver when the handles are closed. A turner, which moves the driver and cutter along the bead, can move among a number of positions, and a cam limits the degree to which the handles can close and adjusts the cutter to a predetermined depth of lid penetration.
