ABSTRACT:
A single-stone containing fruit of the drupe family is laid open to permit removal of the stone and implanting of a filling, if desired, by centrally impaling it on a row of tines, every other one of which is held on one half of a split platform with the remainder being held on the mating other half of the platform such that when the split platform is forceably opened the fruit is torn open exposing the stone. The row of tines has tines of lesser length in mid-portion to accommodate the stone and an overhead moveable bar carries a mating row of tines that pierce the fruit above the stone. This bar can be carried on a strike arm adapted to engage a strike plate on one of the platform halves and force the platform to open when the bar is forced downwardly as by being struck smartly with the hand.
