A draining device adapted for draining liquids from canned goods and for removing severed lids from canned goods includes an upper handle assembly, a lower handle assembly, a food-press member, a pin for attaching the food-press member to the upper handle, and a pin for pivotally attaching adjacent respective distal ends of assemblies to permit the upper handle of the upper handle assembly and the lower handle of the lower handle assembly to be moved toward and away from each other between a closed position and an opened position. The upper handle assembly has the upper handle. The lower handle assembly has the lower handle and a truncated, circular can-support member. The food-press member, which is located directly above the can-support member and is attached to the upper handle, may be downwardly advanced toward the bottom of a supported can to press down on the lid and the contents inside the can.

[ I claim:] [1.]1. A draining device adapted for draining liquids from canned goods and for removing severed lids from canned goods comprising:an upper handle assembly comprising a first end, a second end, and an upper handle,said upper handle having a first end and a second end;a lower handle assembly comprising a first end, a second end, a lower handle, and a truncated-circular can-support member for seating a can which has a severed top end or lid and encloses a material to be compressed,said lower handle having a first end and a second end, is defined at said first end of said lower handle assembly, and is attached to said can-support member,said can-support member having a pair of arcuate ends and a pair of sides, and is defined on said lower handle assembly between and spaced from said first end of said lower handle assembly and said second end thereof,wherein said arcuate ends having side walls which face toward one another, and is defined at positions opposite to one another,wherein said sides having no side walls;a food-press member for attaching to the lid of the can so as to overlie the lid for applying a sufficient force on the lid as said handles are moved relative to one another from an opened position toward a closed position to compress the material in the can and extract liquid therefrom and then remove the lid from the can as said handles are moved relative to one another from said closed position toward said opened position;means for attaching said food-press member to said upper handle assembly; andmeans for pivotally attaching adjacent respective said second ends of said assemblies to permit said handles to be moved relative to one another toward and away from each other between said closed position and said opened position.
