CAN-OPENER.
Specification of Letters Patent.
Patented June 9, 1908.
Application filed November 16, 1907. Serial No. 402,401.
To all whom it may concern:
Be it known that I, MARTIN BUSH, a citizen of the United States, and a resident of h Ionroe, Orange county, State of New York, have invented an Improved Can-Opener, of which the following is a specification.
My invention relates to a can opener, its object being to provide in an article of manufacture an improved can opening device, mounted on the shank or handle of a tool adapted to perform other functions.
In the accompanying drawing, Figure 1 is a side elevation of a tool embodying my invention; Fig. 2 is a sectional view taken on line 2-2 Fig. 1.
A indicates the handle or shank of a tool shown in this case as a claw hammer, B, which may be used to drive or draw tacks or nails. As shown, the handle or shank, is formed of two parallel bars or rods a, b, with a space between them and connected together about midway their length by a bar 0 and at their outer ends by a bar (1 from which extends a point or prod 0 adapted to be forced through the top of a can near the center thereof and form a pivot for the shank to turn on.
F indicates a sliding plate, preferably of spring sheet metal having 0 posite edge portions bent over to form s eeves f through which the rods a and (Z pass so that the plate may have a sliding movement on the rods. As shown the rod a is I rovided with a series of recesses g and the sleeve f that slides on the rod a has a portion of its metal formed into a leaf spring h by slitting the sleeve on each side of the spring and around one end thereof. Preferably the free end of the spring will be bent outwardly a slight distance to facilitate moving it. The spring it has a projection i on its inner face to engage in any of the recesses g and thereby lock the plate F in position. This projection i may be formed by striking up a portion of the metal of the spring.
K indicates a cutter, preferably hookshaped and pointed as shown. This cutter is pivotally connected to the two sleeves f and is provided with a lug at its back. A leaf spring Zis formed from a portion of the metal of the plate F by slitting said plate on each side of the spring and around one end thereof. This spring Z engages the lug 7c and will permit the cutter to be opened or closed and hold it in either position.
M indicates a corkscrew connected to the bar 0 to fold in between the rods a and b or to extend at substantially a right angle thereto.
It will be seen that the cutter K can be easily adjusted to vary its distance from the pivot prod e and the device may thus be used for opening cans of various sizes. cutter has been properly adjusted and the prod forced through the top of the can ap proximately at the center thereof the cutter is then forced through the can top and by turning the tool on the pivot a circular portion may be cut out of the can.
Obviously the plate spring It might be formed in the side of the sleeve f opposite to that shown, and in such case the depressions g would be formed in the opposite surface of the bar a.
Having described the invention I claim:
1. In a can opener the combination with a handle comprising two parallel rods con nected together at their outer ends and provided thereat with a pivot prod, of a plate having sleeves at opposite sides mounted on the rods to slide thereon, one of said rods having a series of depressions, and the sleeve sliding thereon having an integral leaf spring provided with a projection to engage said depressions, and a cutter pivotally connected to the sleeves.
2. In a can opener, the combination with a handle comprising two parallel rods connected together at their outer ends and provided thereat with a pivot prod, of a plate having sleeves at opposite sides mounted on the rods to slide thereon said plate having an integral leaf spring, a cutter pivoted between the sleeves and provided with a lug on its back for engaging said leaf spring.
In witness whereof, I have signed my name to the foregoing specification in the presence of two subscribing witnesses.
MARTIN BUSH.
