ABSTRACT:
A fruit cutting apparatus comprises a handle having a hollow bore, a two-part blade assembly supported at the end of the handle and a plunger axially supported in the bore of the handle for axial sliding movement at the end of the handle opposite to that of the blade assembly. The blade assembly has sharpened peripheral edges and terminates in a sharpened tip to facilitate penetration of the blade assembly into the interior of a piece of fruit. An actuating assembly connected between the plunger and the blade assembly causes the two parts thereof to extend laterally between a first inactivated position and a second activated position. The outwardly facing peripheral edges of the blade parts are arcuately shaped so that when the blades are actuated to the second activated position, a thin circular transverse cut may be made internally of the piece of fruit after penetration of the blade assembly therein. When the piece of fruit subsequently is segmented into a plurality of separate wedge shaped pieces, each piece will have a transverse cut permitting it to be mounted on the rim of a glass or other beverage container.
