ABSTRACT:
An apple coring apparatus (10) includes a first arm (16) which is pivotally connected to a base plate (12). A lever arm (20) is pivotally connected to the first arm (16). A sliding tube (36) is mounted on a guide rod (38) which is mounted normal to the base plate (12). A tubular knife (30) is pivotally connected to the lever arm (20). A blade (34) is rigidly connected to the tubular knife (30) and to the sliding tube (36). A blocking arm (54) is pivotally mounted to the plate (12) and rigidly connected to a handle (58). The blocking arm (54) includes a notch (54a) which is positioned to receive a pin (24) mounted longitudinally on the lever arm (20). When the lever arm (20) is forced downward, the pin (24) is received in the notch (54a) and the downward travel of the lever arm (20) is blocked. When the handle (58) is depressed by the operator, the arm (54) is moved out of the way of the pin (24) to permit the lever arm (20) to be driven downward so that the tubular knife (30) and blade (34) can engage an apple which is between the lever arm and the base plate (12). The operator must use both hands to complete the coring operation therefore reducing the possibility that one hand may be injured when the tubular knife (30) and blade (34) cuts through the apple.
