UNITED STATES CARRIE A. MAILE, F TULSA, OKLAHOMA.
APPLE AND PEAR co EEn.
Application filed March 27, 1925. Serial No. 18,830.
This invention relates to apple or pear corers and the object thereof is to provide a device of this character Which is ex tremely simple in construction and which is operable for removing either the entire core or a part thereof without breaking the fruit. lVith the foregoing and other objects in view which will appear as the description proceeds, the invention resides in the combination and arrangement of parts and in the details of construction hereinafter described and claimed, it being understood that changes in the precise embodiment of the invention herein disclosed may be made within the scope of what is claimed without departing from the spirit of the invention.
In the accompanying drawings Figure 1 represents a side elevation of a corer constructed in accordance with this invention;
Fig. 2 is a transverse section taken on the line 2-2 of Fig. 1;
Fig. 3 is a longitudinal section; and
Fig. 4 is a transverse section taken on the line 44 of Fig. 1.
In the embodimentillustrated a handle 1 is shown having its front end slit longitudi nally as shown at 2 to receive the shank 3 of a corer supporting frame. From this shank 3 extend two diverging arms 4 and 5 which merge into parallel bars 6 and 7 carrying at their outer endsthe cylindrical coring element 8. This corer is preferably made cylindrical in form being open at both ends and the front end thereof isbeveled and sharpened as shown at 9 to facilitate its entrance into the fruit. v
A core ejecting plunger 10 is designed to reciprocate in the cylinder 8 and is mountedon a rod 11 carried by a plate 12. This plate 12 is of a. size larger than the diameter of the cylinder 8 so that it will rest on the rear end of said cylinder and not enterit during the reciprocation of the plunger. The rod 11 corresponds in length to the lengthof the cylinder or is slightly longer so that when the plate 12 rests on the rear end of the cylinder the plunger 10 will be at its extreme forward end as is shown clearly in Fig. 3
and thus operate to force out the .core from the cylinder.v
Arranged longitudinally on the inner face of the cylinder 8 is a blade 13 shown triangular in cross section in Fig. 2 and which is designed to break the core loose at the end when the corer is given a slight twist.
The plate 12 which is here shown substantially oblong is designed as a plunger shield and is slidable on the bars 6 and 7 so that it may be forced forward to project plunger 10 (so to remove the core from the corer after it has been extracted from the fruit. 7
From the above description it' will be seen that this corer is extremely simple in construction and may be used for removing cores from apples or pears and may be used to remove the entire core at one application or to remove a portion only thereof.
This corer may be used to remove only a portion of the centerv of the fruit by insert- 7 ing it into the apple or pear from the blossom end to about three-fourths through the apple, then turn the corer slightly which will causethe blade 13 to sever the core from the body of the apple and it may be pulled out on the removal of the core. This leaves a socket in the fruit to be filled with sugar and condiments if desired, causing the fruit to be seasoned all through in a much more eflicient manner than when the core is reso moved entirely leaving an opening through the fruit.
It is understood that the corer proper 8 may be made from steel or other suitable material capable of being sharpened at its entrance end and that the handle 1 may be of wood or any suitable material.
I claim In an apple corer, ahandle, bars extending from the handle, a cylindrical cutting memher mounted at theouter ends of the bars, an oblong plate having cut out portions adapted to accommodate the bars and permit the plate to move over the bars, a rod extending from the central portion of the plate, a plunger mounted at the outer end of the rod and adapted to move through the cylindrical cutting member to force a core from the tubular cutting member, said plate having its ends extending beyond the bars to provide finger pieces, said cylindrical cutting member having an internal triangular rib extending throughout the length thereof, and said plunger having a cut out portion to accommodate-the rib. r
In testimony that I claim the foregoing as my own, I have hereto aflixed my signature.
MRS. CARRIE A. MAILE.
