Letters Patent No. 104,954, dated July 5, 1870.
IMPROVEMENT 1N FRUIT-CORING- KNIFE.
The Schedule referred to in these Letters Patent and making part 0! the lame.
To all whom it may concern:
Be it known that I, ALFORD L. HARRIS, of Kent, in the county of Portage and State of Ohio, have invented a new and useful Improvement in Fruit-Goring Knife; andI do hereby declare that the following is a full, clear, and exact description thereof, which will enable others skilled in the art to make and use the same, reference being had to the accompanying drawing forming part of this specification.
This invention relates to a new and useful improvement in a knife for coring apples and similar fruit for drying or cooking, whereby time and labor, as well as fruit, are saved; and
It consists of a knife with a bow or curve inthe blade, as will be hereinafter more fully described.
In the accompanying drawing-- Figure 1 representsan edge view of the knife, showing the bow or curve, and the method of its application.
Figure 2 is a side view of the same.
Similar letters of reference indicate corresponding parts.
It is well known that, in coring apples with the common straight-bladed knife, quite alarge portion of the apple is wasted or taken away with the core.
Apples for cooking or drying are quartered for this kind of coring, and each quarter must be separately handled; and, if the work of coring is well executed with a straight-bladed knife, the quarter must be turned end for end. In this case, even, a large percentage of the apple is wasted, to say nothing of the time and. trouble expended in the operation.
By simply paring and halving the apple, the core may be neatly taken out, and in the most expeditions manner with my improved coring-knife.
In preparing quinces and pears for preserving or canning, this knife can be used to the best advantage.
A is the coring-knife.
B is the fingenpiece.
0 is the bow or semicircular edge for taking out the core.
'fruit-corer A, constructed substantially as described and for the purposes set forth.
ALFORD L. HARRIS.
