    Abstract: A bottle cap opener and gripper made of resilient materials and used for bottle cap removal. It is essentially a circular configuration with a predetermined thickness and has a rough surface on its circumference for improved grip. The top surface is flat and ready for identification or advertisement. The bottom has a series of step cut gripping rings to engage and hold the bottle cap in a fixed position as the device is turned and the cap is twisted and removed from the bottle. The relationship of the center grip and outer circumference provides a leverage by a radius between the turning force at the circumference by the operator and the twist force transferred to the bottle cap. The radius serves to multiply the twist force with the radius of the device and thereby turn the cap easier than by just the operator gripping the cap alone.
