POWER PIERCE CAN OPENER ABSTRACT OF THE DISCLOSURE An electric powered can opener has a housing, a feed gear that is motor connected and rotatably mounted to drive and rotate a can while holding it by its rim. An operating lever is pivoted above the gear on the housing and carries a cutter mechanism to remove the can lid. To this conventional arrangement an improvement is added to the cutter mechanism of a gripping structure connected to and movable by the lever with the gripper lying on a line between the lever pivot and the top of the feed gear and disposed to contact the can rim top ahead of or before the cutter contacts it so the gripper bites into the rim on lever rotation toward the can and then pulls the cutter into the can top providing a power pierce. The lever is preferably spring-biased for rotation toward the can at all times and has a slidable switch actuator that is linkage-connected to the lever for manual operation.
