Field of the Invention: The present invention relates to the field of beverage container openers, in particular, directed to a multi-function tool for opening and handling containers with crown style caps, twist off caps and tabs on cans, specifically in the category of such devices most often used by industry professionals, these are known as "speed openers," "bar blades" and "bar and/or bottle wrenches."

Description of die Prior Art: Historically, crown-style bottle caps are used to seal several types and styles of glass and plastic bottles, especially beers or carbonated soft drinks bottled under pressure, but also water and juice style beverages. The corrugated ridges on the outer crown of the bottle caps are crimped down to lock on to the rim of the bottleneck firmly. It is necessary to use a bottle opener to open these types of bottles, which have been sealed with a traditional crown-style cap.

The function of the component designed to open crown-style caps on bottles, i.e., the opening head, works by inserting one part of the opening head, in the space between the rim of the bottle and underneath the edge of the ridge on die outer edge of die crown cap, while the opposing side of the opening head, simultaneously holds the top of die crown cap partially in place, creating a leverage when the handle of the bottle opener is pulled upward (front to back) or pushed downward (back to front) while the bottle itself is held in place, resulting in the crown cap bending and break- ing the seal so that it can be lifted off to open the bottle.

There are many different types and styles of bottle openers in prior art designed for that purpose. The style of bottle openers in the field preferred between professional bartenders are commonly referred to as "speed openers," "bar blades," and liar and/or bottle wrenches". These and most other styles of traditional bottle openers are however predominantly designed to open die bottle in only one direction (front to back). This limitation and the repetition of this movement over long durations and many hours at the time is a contributory cause of significant stress to the wrist, elbow, and shoulder, which can lead to carpal tunnel syndrome and damage to the ligaments, joints, tendons, muscles, nerves, blood vessels or cartilage. All are common ailments amongst bartenders, resulting in needless suffering, lost workdays, possible economic difrlculties, some of which can be career ending.

Some designs of opening devices allow the user to open bottles in either direction. While, this does oiler a choke, which can alleviate the repetition for the user, they are generally flawed because either the design is not practical for professional use behind a bar, or they do not work from both of the surface sides of the device, hence there is a wrong and a right way to apply the device in order to achieve the function and shifting quickly between die two methods is often impractical. This is especially true in high-volume work environments, where "speed opening" of numerous bottles one after each other is common practice. The main problem is that the already released crown caps obstructs the process, either by being in the way of the opening head itself or by building up in the user's hand, because there is not enough space to comfortably release mem, to avoid this, the professional bartender, must use a sideways technic, where the opening motions derives from the elbow to get enough air underneath the crown cap, so that they are not an obstruction. Where this does provide for increased speed, the sideways - elbow movement technique is difficult to master and causes significant strain to the operators' elbow. Limitations to how fast service can be expedited in high-volume bars, nightclubs and restaurants lead to customer service delays and reduced revenues for the principles. Further, the phenomenon of picking up, a bottle opener racing the wrong direction, after it has been laid on a counter or other surface, to get the bands free to perform another task, like making a cocktail, or receiving a payment, are well known. Repeating this can be the cause of exasperation, which has no place in the service industry, where a pleasant, outgoing disposition is a requirement of the job, many bartender's works in intense high-pressure situations and continued unnecessary stress and delays arc not beneficial to the health of the bartender nor service to customers.

A limited number of opening devices with opening heads on both ends of the opener are also included in the prior art; they are however primarily designed for the private market as household items and therefore void of other key features, they do not have the flat embodiment preferred by professionals. The shape, comers, and edges of bottle openers are vital in dictating whether or not they can be comfortably stationed in the users' pocket or apron for easy access and efficiency. The following are some examples, which have a proven track record of being impractical: An opener, which is too small or too short can disappear into a pocket and become difficult to reach, and does not allow for a prober comfortable grip, which is a problem for especially males who generally have larger extremities. An unbalanced "top heavy" opener can tip over as soon as the bartender moves around. Bottle openers with bulky or thick handles or features, either do not fit and/or slide easily into a back pocket. Neither do bottle openers, which are rectangular, have sharp points, corners, or applications, which stick out or in, as they get hung up on the seam of the back-pocket itself, preventing it from sliding in or out. There are even examples of designs, which bends to the embodiment arc so critical, that they have been known to break the glass neck of the bottle, instead of opening the bottle. Moving around rapidly, an incident like that, puts bartenders at risk of serious injury from cutting their hands, fingers or wrist.

As an example, it is known from Patent No.: US 2049116 A, 28 July 1936 that a double ended opener is a benefit to solving the problem concerning picking up the bottle opener in the wrong direction, yet it does not accommodate the need to open in both directions, nor from both sides of the flat surface. The combined milk can and bottle opener of the invention is fitted with spurs providing the function of a church key. Church keys were used in the I930's to open flat top cans, which in that era was made out of metal and not aluminum, in order for the spurs to be able to pierce through a metal top it would have been necessary for thern to be extremely sharp, posing a significant danger and risk to the users' hands. William F. Harris describes his invention as a household item, which is also evident front the lack of comfort to the handle, hence it is intended for occasional use at home and not a professional environment where there is less time to ensure that it is used very carefully to avoid cutting yourself.

Another example; a double-sided bottle opener it is also known from Patent No.: DE 34252176. February 1986. This patent is primarily intended for the introduction of a manual way of recapping crown caps bottles, where the crown caps opening heads has a dual function as a handle for the device center recap component. It is noticed that Ncben recognizes the difference between household and workplace by listing both. It is agreed mat his invention has a place in the household where it offers a solution to hygiene and a need for recapping bottles. However, it is against health code to resell a bottle which has already' been opened in the workplace, for the same hygiene reasons Neben refers to, to the best of my knowledge these laws have not been changed with the introduction of Neben's "MulrikiankorkenvcrschlieBcr in kombination als flaschenOffber". Further, the embodiment and size (length) of bis invention does not meet the professional standard, at 138mm this invention is very small and doesn't offer the user sufficient sizing for a proper grip.

Other examples of size problems are included in Patent No.: CN 106946200 A, 14. Jury 2017, when using the known measure for functionality in a crown cap opening heads in both Fig 1) and Fig 2), it is revealed that the opener is sized as a standard business card. The problem is also found in Patent No.: D6 8112234 Ul, 13. April 1981, which measures 130- 135mm these devices are very short in length and small in overall size to meet the requirements outside the household, because the size dictates that in order to have enough of the opening head free to operate the tool, there is very little space left over for the user to hold, this is a problem in a professional environment, where comfort is important, m addition, Mr. Jung has some functionality issues with his conical shape, the benefits stated to be a snug fit (openers with a snug fit are already provided by the beer manufactures in the form of a bottom half moon or half circular shape) regardless, in Fig 2) the opening head is set to size, and duly reflected in Fig 1) but the narrow bcrttornpartof bis conical shjq* in Fig 1) doesn't clear the needed measure side to side for a crown cap, therefore, tine sides in his conical shape will catch before he can utilize the leverage of the top bar. If we scale Ms drawings to clear the side to side measure, his top bar arrives on the opposing side of the crown cap, with a bending point appn»drrtateh/ 5mm from the edge. Even if the function could be archived, at best, this results in a poorly leveraged bottle opener, which is a known risk factor in breaking the glass bottleneck.

With regard now to carpal tunnel syndrome and other muscular and joint ailments. It is known from Patent No.: US 8607668 Bl, 17. Dec 2013 Fig.4) and Fig.5) That a double-headed opener can help reduce the number of repetitions by 50% by offering a bottle opener, which can open two bottles at the time. Whereas this can help elevate some stress on the user's wrist, it doesn't help the bartender who is already suffering from carpal tunnel syndrome because he or she is still forced to use the same repetitive motion from back to front, which caused the carpal tunnel syndrome in the first place, just reducing the number of times repeating an already painful motion is not sufficient if mat is the very motion that hurts you, therefore what is needed is the choice of a different motion to relieve the actual culprit and cause.

Patent No.: US 8607668 Bl, 17. Dec 2013 Fig.4) and Fig.5), also excludes the possibility of speed bartending, which cannot be eliminated as an essential need. There is a vast difference between opening two beers at the time and a row of 12 or more beers, which would be impossible to do with this device. To operate the side by side double opening head, it is necessary to pick up the two bottles from the surface of the desk or a cooler. Hold them in the one hand, press the necks together, and then get the device in position to open the bottles with the other hand. Speed bartending is done by placing a row of beets on the desk and then move down the line as fast as possible. One technique used is to "pop and fly" the crown caps off, the stability of the desk is a most Speed opening is so important in a busy environment that it is even included as a discipline in bartending competitions (the current world record is held by a gentleman by the name of C. Delpech, opening 16 beers under 5 seconds.) It would take a bartender longer to open up two beers with mis device of Fig. 4) and Fig. S) than the time a skilled bartender can open a full row of beers. Perhaps this is best illustrated with a "how to" video: ht^;//www.yputute,conywal^

Finally, mere are some awkward issues with the shape of this device, which resembles a phallic symbol, whereas this might be a cause for great amusement in a local pub, it is not appropriate in any establishment of higher quality and some, especially woman, might even find it offensive. Attaching the circle component to a retractable string on a key wheel to use the tools ability to hang from a belt only makes it worse. Holding it by the handle with the opening heads upward doesn't improve the 'situation' at all. Bartenders shoulder a considerable amount of suggestive verbal commentary when dealing with intoxication as a part of the job; Ibis device can only result in increasing sexually loaded comments and jokes of poor judgment. Another problem with the prior art is that the majority of bottle openers included in the field used by professionals, are mass-produced, inexpensive and of inferior quality, often included as giveaway^ as a source of advertisement for beverage companies. Little attention has been given to comfort, outer edges can be sharp and uncomfortable to hold, and over prolonged use, can be the cause of blisters and calyces to the hands, causing pain and discomfort to the bartender. Cots and blisters are known problems, especially when handling citrus fruit and other garnishes, and is not beneficial to either the employee or the customers for health and sanitary reasons. Anti-slip grips and comfort additions including rubber, plastic, vinyl, gel-grip cushions, and similar elements might elevate this problem, but are by their very nature, counterproductive in the situations where slipping the device is needed, such as slipping the opener into a pocket or apron between uses.

Further, the style of opening devices in the field are often made with only the limited features of an opening head in one end with a larger circle aperture utilized to attach reel wheels or similar, on the other end. They do not provide users with an all in one solution containing all of the different features required in a professional setting.

Therefore, mere is still a need to solve these problems. The present invention provides a new multifunction beverage container opening and handling device of the kind mentioned in the introduction, with the additional benefits that it can open bottles from both flat surfaces of the device, in both directions at each end, has a double opening head, while introducing a high-quality device with rounded smooth edges providing comfort and easy slip.

Other beverage bottles are sealed with twist-off caps. These bottle caps work on a similar principle to a nut and boh, with the outside of the opening neck on the container being threaded which correspond with threads place on the inside of the twist-off cap. The outside of the twist- off cap is textured with ridges and grooves and are connected to a bottom ring, which fits snuggly around the lower part of the opening neck of the bottle, just below or by the threads sealing the container. By rotating the twist -off cap, while simultaneously holding the bottle in place, the connection between the bottom ring and twist-off cap seal is broken, which allows the twist-off cap to be unscrewed and removed so that the contents inside can be dispensed.

Performing this task can be a problem given the situation when attempting to loosen the twist- cap off by hand is rejected because of the inability to break the connection between the bottom ring and the twist-off cap. People who do not have the necessary strength or whose hands are wet are especially vulnerable to experience problems. Subsequently, this can cause injury to the wrist and the fingers and the skin inside of the hand, due to the combination, of the strength applied and the sudden slop to the momentum of the motion. As evidenced by the prior art, in Patent No.: US 2,568,612 September 18. 1931 and Patent

No,: US 4,681,358 Jul.21 1987 and Patent No.: US 4,967,622 Nov. 6. 1990, this problem is well known, although appreciated, these patents do not fall into the modem field of bottle openers used by professionals and are therefore inherently different From Patent No.: US 7,343,835 B2 a device is known whose principal objective is to provide a device which allows a user to remove twist-off bottle caps easily. Being skilled in the art the following was found in examining the patent: Illustration Fig. 1 , 4 shows a semi-circle with teeth. It should be evident that a semi-circle cannot possibly fit over the circular shape of a twist- off cap. The inventor states in the description that "ail of the openings could also be used to aid in opening pop off bottles as well," this statement logs the size of the semi-circle component, as there is only one size semi-circle and tiny fractions thereof which can perform mis technique, and that size semi- circle would be too large to engage a twist-off cap (even partially).

From Fig. 1) In the description, we learn that the device is: "2 inches wide, 7 inches long and 1 /4 inch in thickness." There are some troubling problems with the embodiment end components of this invention. It is not possible to open a crown-style bottle cap with a straight device, that is i/4-inch-thiclc, because the 1/4-inch width cannot fit between flic rim of (he bottle and underneath a crown style bottle cap and be positioned in such way that the opposing side of the opening head, can create the leverage to bend the crown cap, which is required to remove it Neither the description, (he illustration, (he production process, nor any other section in this patent document includes a single explanation or verbiage on how the inventor intends to break the law of physics.

In line 5 of the description, we learn The circular shape opening 2 and the curved rectangular shaped opening 3 can be used to open pop off bottle caps in a conventional manner." This claim is clandestine in the fact that it is not possible to open a crown style bottle cap with a circular shaped opening since the technic which creates the leverage, depends on the crown cap being held down partially on the top of the cap and simultaneously lifted from the bottom to bend it The distance between the bottom and the top in an opening head has to be precise; mis would make Inventors' circle so small, that the horizontal sides on the edge of the circle itself would obstruct it from clearing the crown cap. A circle large enough to clear the sides of a crown cap is too big to provide the technic needed. Even if the device could perform some of the technical functions the inventor claims, at two inches wide this device is overly broad and a person with smaller hands, would not be able to get a proper grip on the device. The more extensive stretch between the thumb and fingers would change the hand position needed to hold the device, mis shift of position places the edges of the device in such a way, that it would cause discomfort to the fingers, especially for women who generally do not have large hands. The more extensive stretch would also increase the stress on the wrist when used repetitively and therefore increase the risk of carpal tunnel syndrome and other work-related musculoskeletal disorders.

Further figure 2, in said patent, illustrates a stationary apparatus, which is not portable. Bartenders spend many hours on their feet, often walking around for 8 - 10 hours at die time, causing considerable stress to the lower extremities, which can lead to occupational lower extremity musculoskeletal disorders such as back and knee problems, varicose veins, and poor circulation amongst others. Having to walk back and forth to one stationary location to open a bottle, would not only add miles to a bartender's day but slow down customer service as well, which is anything but desirable. The Principal object of the disclosure in Patent No.: US 7,343,835 B2 is to provide a device that allows users to remove twist-off bottle caps easily. The mere idea and principal of a device which can assist in an opening twist-off caps were not new at the lime of the application, as it was granted in Patent No.: US 2,568,612 September 18. 19SI, neither was a regular opening head, the circle component or the standard oblong shape. Seeing that Patent No.: US 7,343,835 B2 has no working functions, in the form in which it was presented and applied for, very clearly there is still a need for an invention, which addresses all the problems bartenders face dairy.

It is also known from DE Patent No.: 8112234 Ul that a twist-off component can help assist opening mineral waters with twist-off bottle caps. The problem with Mr. Jung's twist-off component from 1981 is that the twist-off caps used by some of the larger manufacturers 28 years later, have evolved from using die known smaller ridges cans to a new modern style of heavy duty, much more extensive and broader grooves in the twist-off cap itself. Mr. Jung's component doesn't fit these new caps; their cap diameter is approximate 30mm, his component is 24mm, he can't scale his twist-off component to fit a larger cap without effecting his crown cap opening head, which, as stated previously, already has some questionable measures. Further, Jung's twist-off component docs it have the ability to even fake using it as a hands-free tool, in the situation when direct contact with a bottle is unde sired, because it can't fit over a crown cap bottle head to reach the bottleneck.

In addition to permanent stationary bars and setups with ice wells, bartenders are often required to work portable bars or bare with fresh ice cooling tubs, portable beer tubs or use similar coolers and containers including larger metal tubs and insulated containers of different varieties and sizes. The containers are filled with ice to cool down the bottles, which are placed therein to keep the beverages cold. Unavoidably ice melts if not stored in a freezing element causing ice water to collect on the bottom of the containers, which causes me bottles to shift from their upright position to their sides. To reach bottles which are laying down on the bottom of an ice tub or container the bartender must teach into the ice water to retrieve them. It is very uncomfortable for anyone to stick their bare bands into ice water repeatedly over several hours, the low temperatures cause stress to the blood circulation and can be a hindrance to die full use of die fingers slowing down productivity and increase the risk of illness.

Another situation; to meet health code, it is necessary to continually rotate beer bottles, which have been placed in slide top beer coolers to ensure thai they do not expire and that the rust and dirt caused over time from daily use of the coolers, has not collected on the bottles. In mis style of beer coolers, bottles are placed on their side and stacked on top of each other. Before pressure cleaning and disinfection can take place, all bottles must be removed and depending on how often coolers are cleaned, many of the bottles on the very bottom can be covered in a slimy substance caused by a mixture of debris, such as; labels which have separated from the bottles, condensation water and so forth, frequently broken glass bottles are found, creating a danger for the person tasked with the job. Bottles which are broken or submerged in this murky substance need to be discarded. This task, is daunting at best, and mere is no saying what kind of danger, and bacteria the bartender is exposed too.

The present invention provides a new and vastly improved socket wrench component in the multi-function beverage container opening and handling device that has the additional benefit of a dual function which allows the user to use the device to access and carry bottles by the bottleneck hand-free and also assist the user when opening the new heavy-duty twist-ofF bottle caps.

Aluminum cans arc another popular choice for beverage containers; their opening mechanism typically consists of either a; Zip Top, Pull Tab, Ring Pull Pop Top or StaTab (Stay Tab) sometimes they are also referred to as a lift Tab or just "Can Tab." Being in public domain for decades, they have undergone an evolution from the first patent in the 1930's until today, which accounts for the different names, generally featuring minor changes and improvements to the basic principle of a tab devise fastened to the top surface of the can, which can be removed or repositioned by hand, to open the can. The most noteworthy being the Pull-tabs (ring pull) and the StaTab's which has dominated the market since their invention. To be inclusive of the full scope and all the different varieties, I am using the most generic term: "can tab' ' going forth. A can tab works by; first lifting the can tab up from the flat surface of the can. With the can tab being fastened to a pre-scored part in the can top, the designated pre-scom part of the can, can either be removed entirely by pulling it of¾ or be pushed down, where after the pre-scorn part folds down and into the opening and away, as a means of opening the can and get to the content inside. Traditionally can tabs He tightly on the top of the can and prying them upward from the surface often causes damage to the fingertips and nails. In addition to the previously highlighted medical disorders, arthritis is another health hazard which causes many people throughout the world to experience difficulties opening beverage containers of all kinds. Depending upon the severity of the condition, simple household chores can be challenging to perform for anyone who has been diagnosed with arthritis in their hands and/or fingers. Assistive devices can help.

As an example, the prior art includes Patent No.: US 8,607,668 Bl dated Dec. 17, 2013, wherein a slot for opening StaTab's has been built into the openers. The slot being present in Fig I), Fig 4) and Fig 11) indeed this attempt to solve the problem should be appreciated, but the principal idea of a skit style component in the very top or bottom of a bottle opener, is not that much different man the Patent No.: US 4,967,622 dated Nov 6. 1990. Those skilled in the art will recognize, that the problem with the slots is that they are prone to get caught on the edges of a pocket or caught on a pen, which is commonly kept in the back pocket The location on the very ends is not in the scope of the most natural hand movement when the user is holding the bottle opener. Further, it has to be ensured that the slot is inserted in precisely the right place to function. In work-place environments with low visibility like bars and nightclubs, it is impractical and slows down customer service, negatively affecting the revenue of the bartender and the business.

Further, the slots are frequently matched to fit the StaTab's which excludes the Pull Tab and/or Ring Pull variety by their width. Depending on country and region, Pull Tab and/or Ring pulls are still on the market, especially in regard to canned fruits and vegetables, which are often used as garnishes or for their juice. Perhaps the best example being Coco Lopez Cream of Coconut, which has worldwide recognition as the favored ingredient in the equally famous cocktail the pina colada. Their product comes in a can with a ring pulL which is accessed from the center and not the side and when the ring pull is pulled, it removes the foil aperture from the top of the can. Therefore, there is still a need to solve this problem, with a device which has a skinner, and not thicker component if that worked, we could use any part of the existing openers embodiment to do the job.

What is needed is the new vastly improved solution of the present invention with a double- sided narrowing in the openers plane on the comer mat has the additional benefits; that it fits all sizes and varieties of can tabs, placed in the natural hand position for both left and right- handed users, that does not compromise the strength of the opener, or obstruct the natural workflow even in low visibility situations. Opening bottles or cans with the bare hands has the potential of severe injury and discomfort

Work-related musculoskeletal disorder accounts for 70 million physician office visits annually, and according to the CDC, the Institute of Medicine estimates the economic burden of WMSD, as measured by compensation costs, lost wages and lost productivity are between S45 - 54 billion annually. In the European Union, it is now the most common occupational disease.

Many devices ate found in the prior art for opening can tabs on cans, twist off bottle caps and crimped on crown bottle caps. Many of the tools found in the prior art include a combination of these functions embodied in one device. However, in all of the prior art designs, various compromises are present. For example, they do not include several crown cap opening heads ensuring the tool is always turned in the correct direction, no matter how (he user picks it up, while still ensuring the tool, can be both; hung from a reel wheel and keep the ability to slide. They do not have a component which offers a double head to allow ample time to shift between the methods of opening. The can lift opening features are not located in the most natural hand position when operating the device, for left and right-handed users, some are designed specifically only to accommodate StaTab's. They do not have a component specifically designed to ensure a grip on a bottleneck that allows the user a hand-free handling, which simultaneously can assist the user in opening twist off caps. In many of the multi-function devices, the components on the opener arc arranged for reasons of manufacturing expediency and not to improve the operation or comfort of the opener in the hand of the user. Inexpensive production takes priority over quality in the field of professional equipment. Tools of better quality aimed at the broader private market often derive from the fact mat designers (not industry professionals) sit behind a desk where they seldom have the full insight and scope of the needs behind a bar, and therefore (he practicality of their tools functionality and comfort leaves much to be desired for the professional user.

Therefore, what is needed is a NEW vastly improved multi-function beverage container opening and handling device, invented by someone who is in the business, and has the additional benefit of firsthand knowledge of the problem's bartenders faces and the expertise to individually address each of the issues.

According to the present invention, a NEW multi-function beverage container opening and handling device is provided, which solves the problems in the prior art. The multi-function beverage container opening and handling device is particularly directed to containers of the type having can tabs, a twist-off bottle cap and bottles with crimped-on crown caps.

It is the object of the present disclosure to provide a NEW significantly improved and distinctly beneficial muhi-function beverage container opening and handling device, which is comfortable and easy to use; of excellent quality for handling bottles hands-free while providing other functions associated with opening beverage bottles and containers, which solves all the compromises in the prior art Summary of the invention: The multi-function beverage container opening and handling device comprises of an elongated oblong body with two opposite ends, the two planar surface sides are symmetrical over the axis centered on the side of the device and the side edges are smooth and rounded for comfort, and easy slip, which ensures the invention is comfortable to hold, yet still has the capability of slipping easily and freely into a pocket or apron, solving the problem in prior art with a new significant improvement; the all-around smooth rounded edges on the device benefits the user because it is very comfortable to hold and use. One end of the device comprises a double-sided narrowing in the openers plane at the corner, which is symmetric on the two surface sides, forming a skinnier dull comer, which slides easily between the top edge of an aluminum can and underneath the can tab on the top of the can, whereby the can tab can be flipped up for easy access, by pushing forward in the conventional manner, the working technique of the can, can be achieved using the device instead of your fingers. The double-sided narrowing is positioned in the natural hand position, when using and holding both the device and the container for left and right-handed users, providing an easy and flexible solution to opening cans, while at the same time not being limited to the StaTab variety of can tabs, the double-sided narrowing also works on the Pull Tab and Ring Pull variety's by assisting the user in lifting those styles of can tabs from the surface, with the variation mat those styles of can tabs are pulled off the can entirely. The double-sided narrowing on the openers plane gives a full spectrum of choice, which fits all forms of can tabs, for both the left and right- handed user, which substantially eliminates the risk of injury or discomfort, thereby it benefits the user and solves the problems in the prior art with a new and vastly different solution. This end of the device also includes an opening-head component for opening crown style caps on bottles, the component comprises of symmetrical opening blades, which allows the function to work using both methods; opening by pulling up (back to from) and opening by pushing down (front to back), the position and shape of the opening blades ensures mat this technique works from both of the planar surface sides, having a choice of different methods helps die alleviate stress on the body, benefits the user and solves the problems in prior art Within the vicinity of the said opening head, the embodiment comprises an octadecagon shaped hole, which has had every second line indented at the middle creating a socket wrench opening. The socket wrench has two technical functions which work from both the planar surface side of the device, it can be used to assist the user in breaking heavy-duty twist-offbottle cap seals and thereby loosening hard to open twist-off bottle caps. The teeth perform as a wrench grip when placed over the top of a twist-off cap while holding the bottle in place the device is rotated counterclockwise to assist the user in breaking the twist-off bottle cap seal. Equally important, the socket wrench opening is explicitly designed to assist the user in handling bottles hands-free, by placing the wrench opening around (he bottleneck and tilling the device slightly to the side, (he teeth in the wrench keeps the bottleneck steady in place, while the inclined position of the device gains a leverage on die bottle allowing it to be lifted and carried hands- free out of tube with ice water or other storage containers in situations where direct contact is undesirable due to broken glass or other rides, this dual function is a new signiBcandy different and vast improvement to prior art On die opposing end the device, is a double opening head component consisting of two identical opening heads for opening crown style caps on bottles, the components each comprise of symmetrical opening blades, which allows the function to work using both methods; opening by palling up (back to front) and opening by pushing down (front to back). The position of the opening blades ensures that the technique works from both planar surface sides, in both of the opening heads. The double opening head provides ample space for switching between die two methods of opening, by allowing the user to open both "back to front" and "front to back" while having time to release the already opened crown caps, so the obstruction to the workflow is avoided. Thereby sufficient speed and efficiency can be achieved; without the need to use of a "difficult to master ^w sideways method, which strains the elbow and joints, it also provides relief to the person who is already suffering from ailments, without sacrificing the choice and ability of speed opening. Hence the new dual opening head technique benefits the bartender, facilitates better customer service, which increases the bottom line earning potential of the bartender and the establishment, the dual opening head is a new significantly different and a vast improvement to die field of multi-function beverage opening devices. By containing crown cap opening heads on both ends of the device, which all work from both planar surface sides and work in both directions. The present invention is always in die correct position and turned the right way for opening crown style bottle caps, as there is simply no wrong way to pick the device up, this differ significantly from the known art and is vast improvement to the field of planar speed openers used by professionals, it solves the problems in the prior art and benefits the user by decreasing work environment stress for bartenders, which improves customer service. Adjacent to die double opening head towards die end, die device comprises a hole in the embodiment for attachments such as a reel wheel, carabiner clip or similar, this provides die user with the benefit of being able to hang the device without sacrificing other functions, such as die dual ended crown cap opening heads or the ability to slide, another vast benefit and significant new improvement to die prior art.
