Abstract: An armrest assembly for use on a folding chair. The armrest assembly has a molded plastic body with a top surface and an underside. A leg joint receptacle is present on the underside of the molded plastic body. The leg joint receptacle has two parallel walls, wherein a leg joint from the folding chair is received between the two parallel walls. A bottle opener is provided. The bottle opener has a base and a head section that extends from the base. The base is mounted to the underside of the molded plastic body, wherein the base directly contacts a wall of the leg joint receptacle. The wall of the leg joint receptacle reinforces the bottle opener, therein accommodating the significant forces that are transferred through the bottle opener when the bottle opener is used to open a bottle.

Abstract: Provided are flush mountable bottle openers and methods of using such openers to remove bottle caps. These openers may be used in aircraft and other types of vehicles as well as any applications where protrusion away from supporting structures may be undesirable. A flush mountable bottle opener may include a base and a cap leverage plate pivotably coupled to the base. The base may protrude into a supporting structure such that the top edge of the base is substantially flush with the surface of the supporting structure. When the opener is not in use, the cap leverage plate may be closed and be substantially coplanar with the base edge. During operation, the cap leverage plate is brought into its open position directly by a user or using a bottle. The base and plate include engagement surfaces that support a bottle cap while the cap is removed.

Abstract: A tool for removing a crown cork bottle cap from a beer or beverage bottle is disclosed. The tool is a wristband, comprised with an opening component to remove the cap, secured to the wristband. The wristband is made of leather and the opening component is a stainless steel metal plate, used for the removing of the bottle cap, which has been secured between two layers of leather. The wristband consists of straps which can be made adjustable to the user's wrist size.

Abstract: A lid opener includes a handle and an opening mechanism extending from the handle. The opening mechanism includes at least two projection members. Each of the projection members extends from the handle at an angle with respect to a longitudinal axis of the handle, and the projection members are spaced apart from each other for insertion of a lid between first and second adjacent projection members. A lid opener mount may also be included to couple the lid opener to a surface.

Abstract: This invention includes embodiments which disclose a tool implement or apparatus which may include a paint can opener implement mountable and removable from a paint brush handle, including a can opener body with a can opener end, a fastener aperture and with one or more protrusions disposed to engage a paint brush handle to which the can opener body is mounted, and a fastener sized and figured to insert through a paint brush handle aperture and fastened to the can opener body utilizing only the paint brush handle aperture and one or more protrusions to removably secure the can opener body to the paintbrush handle.

Abstract: A movable outer cylindrical member and a movable inner cylindrical member are arranged vertically movably in a lower half of a cylindrical main body. By placing the movable inner cylindrical member on a bottle mouth and pushing down the cylindrical main body, a lower end of a hooking member is engaged with a lower end of the crown cap to pry the crown cap away. At the same time, the movable outer cylindrical member is moved up and a piston inside a cylinder arranged in an upper half of the cylindrical main body is moved up with the movable outer cylindrical member, so that the air in the cylinder is compressed, and a cover member is brought out in by the compressed air.

Abstract: A combination handle clamp, beverage bottle and can opener having a generally curved shaped body and integral attachment point to allow connection to other personal item such as a key ring. A secondary and tertiary integral curved section form a pair of loading points for fixing open a handle-trigger assembly and incorporate a gripping edge to facilitate opening a crimped or vacuum sealed bottle top. The tertiary curved section additionally functions as a second clamp position for the larger handles and also doubles as a pry mechanism to assist opening a pop-top can. The said gripping edge of the invention which contacts with said bottle top to be constructed of a durable material that won't abrade from its intended use.

Abstract: Decapper consisting of a monopiece body, configured with a straight profile of angular section and symmetrical, whose sides have flaps that are noticeably arched inwards, ending in sharp edges, in such a way that in both directions they make it possible to retain the edges of the crown-type bottle caps, so that they may be decapped through a levering or movement of the bottle in question.

Abstract: A corkscrew comprising a body and a handle, the body including a socket adapted to receive the neck of a bottle sealed by a cork, an actuation lever, an axially rotatable worm spiral mounted on a carriage within the body and arranged to rotate and penetrate the cork as the lever is lowered, the spiral being further arranged to cease rotation as the lever is raised to withdraw the cork from the bottle, the corkscrew being further arranged to discharge the cork from the screw by lowering and raising the lever after the neck of the bottle has been removed from the socket.

Abstract: A tool for aiding master link removal from a chain. The master link includes two pins and a clip with two ends extending from one pin to the other. The chain includes plates, pins, and rollers. The chain has a longitudinal direction along the length of the chain. The tool includes a support member, a plurality of coupler legs, and two pry posts. The coupler legs extend from the support member and are sized to fit between adjacent chain rollers. The legs, combined with the support member, bridge across the master link to hold it secure relative to the pry posts. The pry posts extend from the support member laterally offset from the coupler legs. The pry posts are generally laterally adjacent the ends of the clip when the coupler legs are secured to the chain.

Abstract: Safety Opener is a device having a toothed opening corresponding to the ridges of a standard twist off bottle cap. To use Safety Opener, a consumer simply places a twist off bottle cap attached to a bottle underneath the toothed opening. When the bottle opener or bottle is rotated in the appropriate direction, the twist off bottle cap will loosen. It can then easily be removed by hand.
