The Reusable Can Opener: A Stop on the Knife and a Rim Left to Use Again

A can hacked open is fit only to be thrown away. Richard H. Atwell of Baltimore, Maryland, received US 86,626, dated 9 February 1869, for a can opener: a bar at right angles to a handle that carries a piercer, a hook-shaped fulcrum pin in a hole made at the centre of the piece to be removed, a concave knife in one of several holes, and a stop that limits how far the knife goes in; the edges of the opening are so turned "as to adapt the can to be again used." This rung works out which hole leaves a usable rim, then builds the bar, pin, knife and stop and opens a can cleanly enough to refill.

Which hole leaves a rim

2

A centre-pivot cutter before it

The embedded blueprint cuts a round hole round a spike. Atwell adds a stop on the knife and turns the edge so the can is fit to use again.

Read US 86,626

"The edges of the opening made in the can are so turned, by this construction of knife, as to adapt the can to be again used." "A rest or stop, D, preferably cast on the bar, and arranged between the fulcrum a and knife C, limits the insertion of the knife, and thus prevents its hanging in the tin at its shank."

Make the bar and handle

Cut 90 mm of 25 × 3 mm flat bar and drill 5 mm holes 20, 28 and 36 mm from one end. Fix its other end at right angles into a hardwood handle with epoxy, and file a point on the handle's far end as the piercer.

Make the knife

Cut a knife from 1 mm steel sheet with a 5 mm shank, file its cutting edge concave and its flat side toward the pin. Fit the shank through a hole and nut it on top.

Open a can for reuse

Pierce the centre of a sealed can's top with the handle's point and hook the pin in. Press the knife through to the stop and turn the bar round once. Measure the rim left and run a finger-safe check along it with a rag.

History and honest limits

**Richard H. Atwell** of Baltimore, Maryland, received US 86,626, dated 9 February 1869. His bar may be cast in one piece with the handle or hinged to it; the knife is held from lateral pressure and bending, its edge preferably concave so it need not be pressed down to its work. When the can is not to be refilled, part of the circle may be cut and the piece bent up. **Honest limits.** Epoxy and a hardwood stop stand in for his casting, and the knife is unhardened sheet. Your rim measurements are the result.
