Abstract
An electronic device controlling and bottle opening device, having a handle portion for grasping; a top portion of the handle portion having a keypad; a rear portion behind the top portion and having an aperture; and a bottle opening device fixedly displaced within the aperture. The bottle opening device has a bottle opening top portion for engagement with the rear portion of the device; an optional substantially centrally defined dimpled extension; and a pair of downwardly displaced extension portions depending from the top portion for engagement of the edge of a bottle cap for opening, and for leveraging the bottle cap by grasping the handle portion. The device can be used by leveraging by upward pulling against the bottle cap or by downward pushing against the bottle cap. The downwardly displaced extension portions are preferably substantially curvilinear or linear. In particular dimension, an internal bottle-cap-interfacing longitudinal dimension of a distance "d.sub.1 " is defined as the distance between the interior surface of one of the extension portions and the center between the two extension portions, and the cap of the bottle has a radius of "d.sub.2," wherein d.sub.1 >…
