Description

New. 25 192% J., J. PHARE FRUI T TAPPING AND CORING UTENSIL Filed Sept. 2 1924 INVNTOR.
A TTORNE Y.
Patented Nov. 25, 192.4.
lhhlhtlt JOHN JAY EHARE, OF CLEVELAND, OHIO.
FRUIT TAPPING- AND CORING UTENSIL.
Application filed September 2, 1924-.
To all whom it may concern Be it known that 1, JOHN JAY PHARE, a citizen of the United States, residing at Cleveland. in the county of Cuyahoga and State of Ohio, have invented a new and use tul Fruit Tapping and Goring Utensil, of which the following is a specification.
My invention relates to a means of tap ping into oranges, grape fruit, lemons and the like, and the objects of the device are, first to provide an opening into the rind or peel and body of the fruit. Second, to provide means of removing the cut-out portions of rind and core, and third, to puncture and rupture the pulpy sections of the fruit for liberation and ready extraction of its liquid content, by suction and pressure.
I attain these objects by the peculiar construction and formation illustrated in the accompanying drawings, and described in these specifications, in which Figure 1, is a plan of the sheet material blank, with nearly perpendicular dotted lines A, B, and C, D indicating the outlines of the sharpened splitting blade G, its actuating thumb piece E, and the scraping edges FF together with triangular outer portions HAB and CID, to form semi-tubular cutting wings.
Fig. 2 is perspective of a cross section on horizontal line at HI indicating the rectangular opposite bends required at AB and CD preparatory to forming the triangular wings HAB and CID into semi-tubular cutting parts.
Fig. 3 is perspective of a cross section 011 line HACI showing completed convolutions of cutting wings.
Fig. 4 gives the appearance of the completed device, from either side.
Similar letters refer to similar parts throughout the several views. The fiat sen1i-circular thumb-piece controls the cutters while being pressed down into the fruit, and also is to actuate the two or three revolu tions of the device required to detach the core.
The projecting arms FF provide scrapers for the rind around the aperture made, to help break the vesicles of the volatile oil of the rind, to avoid smarting lips.
Serial No. 735,506.
In use this device is pressed point first into preferably the blossom end of the fruit core and carried down its full cutting length into the body of the fruit, or so far as desired.
This results in splitting the core, and the simultaneous coincident action of the diago nal cutting edges of the triangular wings completes a circular opening in the peel. Rotation of the thumb-piece E will then completely sever the core, which may be dily withdrawn in its two halves' The aperture so produced furnishes convenient. outlet for extracting the juice of the fruit. largely tree oi pulp, by pressure and suction.
lhe pulp may also be further ruptured by pressing the point of tap into pulp sections through the opening made, and the volatile oil vesicles of the peel may be further broken up by scraping with the edge oi the wings.
It is evident that modifications of form may be made within the scope of this invention; I therefore do not confine myself to the exact contour and forms herein described.
Having thus described my invention, l claim:
1. An orange or other fruit coring and tapping utensil consisting of a blank of sheet material so shaped and formed as to integrally comprise the following elements: A central fiat splitting portion, having at one end a sharpened, obtuse angled point, and at the other end a semi-discoid actuating thun'ib-piece; a triangular portion extending from each side (or edge) of said splitting portion, sharpened at the outer edges and recurved to each form a diagonal, semi-tubular cutter; these three in combination adapted to split, cut and remove a circular core, and provide deep aperture in the fruit for the extraction of its juiceor contents, substantially as described.
2. In a fruit tap, a central piercing and severing blade in combination with convoluted lateral cutting blades, and thumbpiece to actuate the entire device.
JOHN J. PHARE.
