ABSTRACT:
A nutcracker, mounted on a base, grips a nut to be cracked between a movable piston and an adjustable anvil. The user sets the optimum cracking distance initially by lining up an index marker located on the piston and adjusting the anvil to firmly hold the opposite end of the nut. Thereafter, the user need only move the lever handle to its up position and insert the nut--no further adjustment of the anvil is necessary for similar sized nuts. The user then moves the piston a limited distance by activating the lever handle connected to the piston through a toggle joint, or by some other limited-movement arrangement. This limited movement enables the inventive nutcracker to crack the nutshell without damaging the meat inside.
