Abstract
The device comprises a generally L-shaped body of plastic, metal or the like, with two flat arms of unequal length set at an angle from each other about 105.degree.-120.degree.. The shorter arm has a key-receiving slot at its free end, while the longer arm has a beverage can pull tab-receiving slot at its free end for prying up that tab. The body may also include a hook to pull the pried up tab completely from the can. The device also includes a key chain-receiving opening. The key-receiving slot can have sloped upwardly converging walls to accommodate keys of various sizes. Such walls may be integral to the body or part of an insert disposed in the key-receiving slot. The device enables car keys and the like to be easily temporarily fitted therein and extends therefrom for insertion in a lock. The key can then be easily turned in the lock by rotating the longer arm away from the lock, thus avoiding bumping and chipping the users fingernails against the lock. The device is simple, durable, inexpensive, efficient and portable and preserves dressed fingernails.
