    The twist-key style was patented by J. Osterhoudt in 1866.

    Sorry i didnt know the correct english name for it. Further the question was what they used before can openers and that was mostly key taps

      Looks to me that that was invented 10 years after the can opener, and more than 50 years after the can.
