ABSTRACT:
The present invention discloses a device for removing a cap from a fiber core. The device has a housing which resides on a base. The housing includes a receiving member which is defined by a front opening, a rear opening distally located from the front opening, an top wall and an bottom wall joining the front opening and rear openings, a right wall and a left wall joining said front opening to said rear opening and joining said top wall to the bottom wall. The present device is to be used in connection with a cap and core having a key-way. In one embodiment, a key is pivotally attached to the receiving member. In this embodiment, the key is then flipped down to engage the key-way of the core. The receiving member receives the core and the cap. A blade extends through the receiving member proximate to the front opening. The blade extends into and through a portion of the cap close to the fiber core. In the manual machine, the cut cap is then rotated until the key-way is facing upwardly. The blade is then used to poke the cap to ease removal. In a second embodiment, a pin extends toward the blade. The pin pokes the cap and the blade cuts the cap. The core is engaged by cap grippers on the top wall and the bottom wall of the receiving member. A hook then engages the key-way. A force is applied to the hook and therefore to the key-way to force the cap away from the core. The cap can then be directed through a chute into a cap container. The core is then recycled.
