What is this thing?

There was some confusion with last week's since some of you thought we were pointing to the guard over the rear wheel. What we were trying to point to is the 'Springer.'

I have a vague memory of using one and just being able to open the can halfways. I guess it only works on specific cans, like that terrible canned ham you had to eat when you were out camping with school.
If this answer is correct, I wish you would also show how it is used.
I forgot how the Europeans love their tubed food. How many varieties have you sampled so far?
