Device and method for unscrewing a lid from a container body
A device (1, 1′) for at least partially unscrewing a lid (30) from a container body (31) has a lid engagement portion (3) and a container body engagement portion (13) each having opposite first (4, 14) and second ends (5, 15). Levers (20, 21) project from these first ends (4,14). An elastically expandable member (22) is connected between the second ends (5, 15) of the lid engagement portion (3) and the container body engagement portion (13). If the lid engagement portion (3) is in contact with the lid (30) and the container body engagement portion (13) is in contact with the container body (31), moving the levers (20, 21) towards each other first causes the lid (30) to be entrained relative to the container body engagement portion (13) and the container body (31) to be entrained relative to the lid engagement portion (3) while the elastically expandable member (22) is stretched.

Implement for Opening Sealed Beverage Lever Tab Cans, Twist Cap Bottles and Pop-Off Cap Bottles
An implement for opening a variety of sealed beverage containers including those having pop-off caps, twist off caps, and lever tabs. The implement comprises a pop-off cap opening tool that is engageable with a pop-off cap, a twist off cap opening tool that is engageable with a twist off cap, and a lever tab opening tool that is engageable with a lever tab. The pop-off cap opening tool is stacked on top of the twist off cap opening tool and a passage opening extends through the twist off cap opening tool wherethrough the pop-off cap opening tool is accessible. To engage a pop-off cap with the pop-off cap opening tool, the pop-off cap is inserted through the passage opening. The implement can be secured to an insulated sleeve adapted to receive beverages and/or beverage containers.

Screw cap twisting tool
A screw cap twisting tool uses two primary members—a stationary member with gripping surface(s) and a high-mechanical-advantage-for-gripping pivoting member with gripping surface(s)—to easily and effectively grip and twist a screw cap. The screw cap twisting tool is easily operated by pushing the screw cap against the pivoting member. A screw cap twisting tool also uses a method for holding the pivoting member in its most open position before screw cap insertion. This method for holding the pivoting member in its most open position can be accomplished in numerous ways by using a force opposing feature, member, or mechanism that allows movement and/or deformation when force is applied and restores position and/or shape when force is removed. Examples include, but are not limited to: built-in elastic metal or plastic material, separate metal or plastic spring, separate elastic O-ring or rubber band, gravity, or magnetism.

Wallet
A wallet includes a first shell with one or more openings on a shell perimeter adapted to clip one or more objects to the one or more openings; and a second shell coupled to the first shell, the second shell including a storage compartment; and first and second rails on each side of the second metal shell to slideably receive one or more cards in the storage compartment.
Multi-tool container opening device
A container opening device is provided. The device can comprise a plurality of opening structures, including at least a pry portion, a twist-off portion, and a finger receiving portion. A gripping portion can also be included. These structures and elements define a multi-tool device configured to open various types of containers, such as beverage bottles having a pop-off cap, beverage bottles having a twist-off cap, and beverage cans having an opening tab (e.g., pull tab).
