ABSTRACT:
An apparatus for cracking the hull of a melon seed. The apparatus includes a flat plate and a pair of cracking members pivoted to the flat plate. A protrusion projects from the surface at which the cracking members are located. The cracking members have two clamping edges which face each other and are adapted to clamp the tapered end of the melon seed to be cracked while the round end of the melon seed abuts the protrusion by moving the cracking members toward each other. The apparatus is provided with two spring members for urging the cracking members to move away from each other to a position at which the melon seed may be released.
