An apparatus and methods of opening containers which permit the user to remove the entire flat upper planar surface. The apparatus and methods, incorporate a platform with a plurality of arms operatively coupled to respective blade members that engage inner circumferential edge of a container by folding the edges inward. The blade members and arms are operatively coupled to a lever and rotate outward when the lever is compressed. The inventors have determined that apparatus and methods provided herein are able to adhere to the different sizes and contours of a sealed can lid. Additionally, by way of example, the inventors have determined that apparatus and methods provided herein can permit the user to safely remove the top of the can with both ease and efficiency.

The mixing tool is for opening a container and for mixing a product contained in the container. The tool includes a mixing device which is shaped to mix the product contained in the container. A shank extends along a length from the mixing device to an end face. A channel is formed into the end face for receiving an edge of a lid of the container to allow the tool to be used to pry the lid off of the container.

A combination strap or collar and bottle opener device that may be designed to have a short height and/or width and may include a combination attachment member and bottle opener. The bottle opener may be made in a number of different shapes, for example, a D shape (including D-ring), an oval shape, etc. A plastic quick-release coupling device may be included as a clasp system for selectively and releasably coupling two or more strap areas or ends together. The combination attachment mechanism and bottle opener may include a generally flat frame body having a first opening and a second opening, the first opening may be smaller than the second opening and may be separated by an intermediate or first linking member at a first end of the frame body, a second linking or cross member, and a third linking or cross member at a second end of the frame body.

A multi-functional safe-touching tool allows a user to safely interact with door handles, touchscreen devices, or other objects. The multi-functional safe-touching tool includes a main shaft, a stylus, a door-handle claw, a bottle opener, and a user handle. The main shaft is an extension from a user's hand in order for the user to safely interact with objects. The stylus allows the multi-functional safe-touching tool to interact with a touchscreen interface. The door-handle claw allows the multi-functional safe-touching tool to engage a door handle in order to open the associated door. The bottle opener allows the multi-functional safe-touching tool to be used to open bottles. The user handle allows a user to efficiently grip the multi-functional safe-touching tool and provides leverage when opening doors using the multi-functional safe-touching tool.

A lighter case is provided. The lighter case may have a main body forming a clamshell shaped to receive a cigarette lighter. The lighter case may have a grinding apparatus on a portion of the main body or slidable relative to the main body and configured to disaggregate a smoking material. The lighter case may collect the disaggregated smoking material and may guide the disaggregated smoking material into a receptacle such as by scooping or via a piston. In this manner, the smoking material may be prepared.

Disclosed is an apparatus for opening and closing sample storage containers, including: a housing 110 having an external appearance provided such that a handle 130 held by a user is exposed; a driving device 180 for generating driving force to rotate a rotation shaft; a key 150 fitted and coupled to a lid 1 of at least one sample storage container and configured to be rotated by the driving force; and an ejector 160 for pressing the lid 1 when the handle 130 is pressed, so that the key 150 is disengaged from the lid 1.
