Half-Round Can Opener: Push the Cutter In and Twist
Opening a sardine box or tin with a flat knife takes many strokes and leaves a ragged edge.
Seth P. Chapin of Atlantic, New Jersey, received US 56,368, dated 17 July 1866, for an implement for opening sheet-metal cans and boxes: a cutter semicircular in section with sloping edges to a point, bevelled inside, on a handle; forced in nearly to the handle and twisted, it cuts a circle the size of its own curve, and a guard at its top keeps it in position and stops it going too deep.
This rung works out how many twists a hole takes, then files the cutter from steel tube and opens a can.

"The said edges a are beveled upon their inner side to make them sufficiently sharp, and the implement is used for cutting circular holes in the tin box by forcing it, point first, into and through the sheet metal nearly up to the end of the handle A, and then turning or twisting the cutter around by means of the said handle, which causes the foremost of the edges a to cut the thin metal in a circular line corresponding to the circle of which the back or convex side of the cutter forms an arc."

History and honest limits
History and honest limits
**Seth P. Chapin** of Atlantic, Monmouth County, New Jersey, received US 56,368, dated 17 July 1866, for opening tin or other sheet-metal boxes in circles or straight or irregular lines. Widened at its widest part, the cutter cuts a larger part of a circle or oval at one thrust, leaving a piece easily bent over; another form has one edge flattened for sardine boxes, and a metal handle with a cross-piece for turning. Wyman's 1868 patent names it.
**Honest limits.** A washer stands in for his guard, and the tube is unhardened. Your twist counts are the result.
