Patent ID: 7827884

Claim:
A combination pop-top can opener, opening location dent marker and bottle opener which comprises a lever body formed as a unitary elongated, planar body; a pop-top can tag lifting means for fitting underneath a pop-top can lift tab on a pop-top can, said lifting means formed as an elongated portion of said unitary lever body; said pop-top can tag lifting means including a wedge surface means for fitting between a pop-top can lift tab and the top surface of said pop-top can and a channel means formed as an opening between said pop-top can tag lifting means and a first straight section of an elongated fulcrum means; the elongated fulcrum means being formed as an elongated portion of said unitary lever body located in a parallel planar association with said lifting means and the first straight section of said fulcrum means and extending parallel to said pop-top can tab lifting means; the elongated fulcrum means including a second straight section extending at an angle to said first straight section and away from the pop-top can tag lifting means, an arcuate section joining said first straight section to said second straight section, and, a can marking engagement end located at an end of the second straight section distant from the pop-top can tag lifting means, the can marking engagement end having a generally curved forming surface having an extent generally equal to a thickness of the lever body extending in a direction generally perpendicular to a plane defined by the lever body and an extent of the can marking engagement end in the plane of the lever body defined by a continuous curve shaped to deform a material of a side of a can into a depressed form without piercing the material of the side of the can when brought into engagement with the side of the can; and an edge gripper for gripping one of the inside edge of the top of a pop-top can and an edge of a bottle cap, said edge gripper being formed integrally with said elongated lever body and in physical association with said elongated fulcrum means-with said arcuate section of said elongated fulcrum means curving away from said lifting means and towards said edge gripper, wherein an extent of the lever body in the plane of the lever body including the second straight section of the elongated fulcrum means, the can marking engagement end and the edge gripper is defined by a continuous smooth curve having no angular protrusions, whereby engagement of said edge gripper with the inside edge of the top of a pop-top can and rotation of the lever body about the edge gripper in a direction toward a side of the can will bring the forming surface of the can marking engagement end of the elongated fulcrum means into contact with the side of the can to form a depression into the material of the side of the can without piercing the material of the side of the can.
