Figure 2 is a face or under-side view of the same. Similar letters of reference'indicate corresponding parts. My invention has for its object to furnish a simple and convenient' instrument for opening cans, sardinehoxes, Sto.; and
It consists in the instrument, constructed as hereinafter more fully described. A is the handle of the instrument, consisting of a wooden disk, having a handle upon its opposite edges. To the face of the disk of the handle A, is attached Aa metallic disk or plate, B, having a cutter, O, formed uponor attached to its edges. The cutting-edges of the cutters C are made pointed and angular, as shown in iig; 1.
ForV opening sardine-boxes and cans, where it is desired to leave one side of the piece cut out attached to the box` or can, to serve as a hinge, a part of the cutter upon one side may be cut away, as shown in i 1.
l g'lhe opener may be so made as to cut a circular opening, as shown in the figures, or it may be made to conform in shape to the shape ofthe boxes or cans to be operated upon.
In using the opener, the points ofthe cutter O are placed upon the can or box, iu the place where the opening is to be made, and the instrument is forced down until the wooden handle A strikes upon the tin of the cau or box.
