Abstract:
An implement for separating the liquid medium from the solid contents of canned foodstuffs, e. g. , canned tunafish, having two arms pivotally connected by a hinge, e. g. , a pivot pin, one arm ending in a compression plate and the other arm ending in a can receptacle, one or both arms being bent to allow substantial alignment of the compression plate and can receptacle, is described. The opposite ends of both arms are handles; and the compression plate is sized so as to fit into the can containing foodstuffs and allow liquid to escape therefrom when the contents are compressed. The thickness of the compression plate is also sized so that a portion protrudes from the top of the can after the contents thereof have been compressed, so that it can be used to strike a solid surface, generating a further compressive force.
