Abstract: Corresponding ends of long, narrow legs are joined together for resilient spring like movement toward and away from each other. The swinging ends of the legs have inward extending flanges with flat bottom portions and teeth projecting downward beyond the botttoms. The legs can be inserted into a tissue box and pressed gently against the top tissue of the box, whereupon the legs are brought together so that the flanges and their teeth pinch or grasp the top tissue of a stack, for withdrawing the top tissue when the legs are removed from the box.

Abstract: A one-piece elongated body has a widened handle end portion at one end and a sharpened nose end portion at the other end. A slot extending lengthwise of the body opens generally centrally of the nose end portion. A can of the type having an opening ring attached to a lid separable from the base of the can by manipulation of the opening ring can be opened easily by use of the device by either: (1) inserting the nose of the device through the aperture of the opening ring until the ring engages in a notch adjacent to the nose portion, whereupon the device can be pulled for separating the lid from the can; or (2) sliding the device toward the opening ring such that the ring is fitted in the slot, wedging the ring upward by upward-swinging of the device, followed by turning the device such that the ring is fitted sideways in the slot and rotating the device in a screwing motion for peeling the lid from the can.
