Description

"Opening device for cans with removable lid"

For many purposes, cans with removable lids are used as containers used. Often those cans made mostly of sheet metal are used, in which the upper parts of the can as a lid on the lower parts of the can, which usually have a small protruding edge for better positioning of the lid » be put on. Opening such cans is often difficult, since the lid cannot always be removed with the desired ease.

It has therefore already been proposed, so-called. ! To use sash opener. However, the use of this gate direction has only found its way into practice to a limited extent (e.g. with shoe polish tins), especially since it also has certain technical flaws. For example, leaks on the pivot, easy wearing out or skipping over the protruding edge of the can and the like.

With the new, technically simple opening device described below it is now possible to solve the difficulties described above when opening cans with removable lids.
