Opening Cans with safety.

with the majority of can-openers IL
Is NO pleasant task to cut the tin which
allows the contents of the can TO be
removed, and oftentimes there is dan
ger of injury to the hands from the
slipping of the cutter, allowing the
hand to scrape across the Jagged edges
of the tin. A man at Cairo, ILL.,. has
designed an implement with which
cans may not only be opened rapidly,
but with entire safety TO the operator.
IL consists of spring-controlled YER.
teal rod, having a cutting blade OF pc
culiar shape attached to the curved
upper end. with foot lever controlling
the movement Of the rod. The machine
may be placed on the kitchen table in
a position convenient for use. The can
to be opened Is placed on the table
under the cutter, and by depressing the
treadle the cutter Is forced into the top
of the can. the construction of the
blade being such hat the sharpened
point first punctures the top, when the
beveled edges finish the work by a
shearing cut. This machine will be
found especially useful in hotels. board
Ing houses and restaurants. where
large quantities of canned goods are
used at certain seasons of the year.
