U.S. Patent #6,148,692
(other patents pending)
JAROMATIC is a registered trademark.
JAROMATIC opens both jars AND bottles regardless of size or shape. Lids-Off and One Touch openers will not open bottles. JAROMATIC opens beer bottles, ketchup bottles, pepper sauce bottles, and any other container with a twist-off lid!
JAROMATIC is a patented small appliance designed to open all jars & bottles with twist-off lids, from 1" to 12" high, and up to 5-1/4" diameter. Opens jars and bottles with the push of a button. Glass, plastic, metal, odd shape, small or large, with either metal or plastic lids. One hand operation, with absolutely no strength or effort needed. Just place the jar or bottle in the appliance, press the button, and the JAROMATIC will open it and break the safety seal. Even opens most safety-lid medicine bottles!
HOW IT WORKS:
This patented appliance uses a small motor to turn a threaded rod. This causes the actuating head to travel down inside the appliance. When it reaches the lid to be opened, the down force is converted to rotational motion. It only applies enough down force to overcome the resistance of turning the lid. By holding the button, it continues to rotate, breaking the safety seal and unscrewing the lid in one operation.
JAROMATIC is safe for anyone to use. The rotating safety door door must be closed for the appliance to work, and is physically impossible to open while in operation. It's safe for anyone to use, even children and disabled persons.
95% of this simple mechanism can be made from injection-molded plastic. A steel guide rod & 4 rollers, along with the small motor are the only metal parts. This puts the production costs and assembly at less than $8.00.

UPDATE: May 12, 2009.
Funding for production has been delayed again! I want to see this useful product produced and marketed. Therefore, I am willing to sell the invention outright. Includes all patents, prototypes, websites, designs, research, and my assistance to complete the project.
Any semi-small to medium-size manufacturer can successfully take this product to the mass consumer market.
I am actively retired. I have spent 10 years and over $80,000 of my own money on this project. Therefore, I'm offering the JAROMATIC for sale at $250,000. All other offers will be seriously considered. Payments can be arranged.
Or, I will sell an exclusive license to my invention for a small up-front fee and quarterly payments, charged to future royalties. Contact me to inquire about terms or potential offers.
If you're interested in purchasing or licensing, please contact me at: jermanco@cebridge.net. My personal contact information is on the COMPANY page.
