CLOSURE OPENER
Disclosed is a closure opener device having a pad-like member made from a flexible material exhibiting a desired coefficient of friction. The body of the device conforms to the user's hand as well as to the closure top of a container. The device has a hand surface that is configured to favorably interface with the skin of the palm and fingers so as to provide friction and making it comfortable to grip. The device has an opposing gripping surface that is used to engage the closure top. The gripping surface is configured to deliver enough friction while opening closure tops made of various materials, having various surface finishes, and having various foreign contaminants disposed thereon. When engaged with a closure top, the thickness of the device's body wraps around the closure top to effectively increase the diameter of the closure top, making manipulation of the closure top easier.

Apparatus for opening safety locked bottle caps
An apparatus for opening safety locked bottle caps is disclosed herein. The apparatus enables users to open safety locked bottle caps in a safe and effective manner. In one embodiment of the invention, the various elements of the inventive apparatus enable a user to remove a bottle cap when sufficient downward force is applied to the handle of the apparatus. In one embodiment, the apparatus is comprised of an engagement mechanism that lodges into the bottom portion of the bottle cap's outer lip. The engagement mechanism is designed to remain lodged within the bottle cap's outer lip through a substantial portion of the opening motion. This feature prevents the inventive apparatus from “slipping-off” from the bottle cap while a user is trying to remove the bottle cap from the bottle.
Rotation and removal tool for airless sprayer tips
A rotation and removal tool for airless sprayer tips aids in manually manipulating sprayer tips of airless paint sprayers. The rotation and removal tool is provided with an elongated body and a tip receptacle traversing into and within the elongated body. The tip receptacle is configured to releasably receive a sprayer tip of an airless paint sprayer to be retained therein so that the elongated body may be used as a handle to rotate, pull, push or otherwise manipulate a sprayer tip, facilitating easier removal or other maintenance is the sprayer tip has become clogged or jammed. At least one angled grip feature may be provided for ergonomic. A pry lip may be provided to enable can opening functionality. A wrench feature, driver feature, and cleaning prongs may also be included.

Multi-function Levering & Pivoting Device for the Toting of a Personal Water or Beverage Bottle
A multi-function convenience device for the ease of toting a water or beverage bottle to promote responsible behavior in the disposal, recycling, or the reuse of a commercially manufactured container of a personal size. By selecting from an array of connectors a bottle having a neck of virtually any shape or size may be easily affixed to a frame, which may then be subsequently affixed to various parts of clothing, or extraneous accoutrements may be affixed to the device itself, allowing the user of the device to enjoy a hands-free and unencumbered toting experience while keeping their hydrating needs close at hand during all types of dynamic end-use conditions, while providing individuals who are afflicted with impaired hand or finger strength, the ability to further utilize the device to assist in removing various types of small caliber twist-off type caps from bottles, or flip-top lids from containers.
PAINT CAN TOOL
A tool for opening the lid of a paint can consists of an elongated, generally planar, metal plate with a handle portion and a widened end having a concave edge configuration with contact areas at opposite ends of the edge for engaging the lid of a paint can at two spaced locations. The concave edge is also formed with a bend that deviates from a plane in which the handle portion of the plate lies. The bend allows the end of the tool to be inserted into a recess surrounding the paint can lid despite the spacing of the two contact areas. The tool allows the paint can lid to be pried open by prying motions at a small number of circumferentially spaced locations, and avoids the concentration of force that results in lid deformation in the case of a conventional prying tool.
