Abstract:
Embodiments are directed to a puncture device that is adapted to puncture an array of beverage cans with a single actuation. A pivot arm rotates relative to a base that holds the array of beverage cans. The arm may include teeth that may be advanced or pushed into the array of beverage cans when the arm is rotated, thereby forming auxiliary openings in each of the cans. The punctured cans may be removed from the device and opened by a tab at a top end. This may create a vent that allows fluid to quickly expel from the auxiliary opening.

Claim (Index 1):
A puncture device for producing an auxiliary opening in a beverage can, the puncture device comprising:\n a base configured to position an array of beverage cans, each beverage can of the array of beverage cans positioned in an inclined orientation with a top end of the beverage can positioned lower than a bottom end of the beverage can; and an arm pivotally coupled to the base, the arm including an array of puncture teeth, each puncture tooth of the array of puncture teeth configured to be positioned above a respective beverage can of the array of beverage cans, wherein: the arm is configured to be manually rotated relative to the base to drive each puncture tooth of the array of puncture teeth into the respective beverage can to produce the auxiliary opening located proximate to the bottom end of the respective beverage can.
