ABSTRACT:
A device for coring strawberries including a cutting tube having a cutting end over which the strawberry is slid to separate the meat from the core. In one embodiment, an ejector rod is slidably positioned inside the cutting tube and an ejector sleeve is slidably positioned on the outside of the cutting tube. The ejector rod is coupled to the sleeve by a screw through a slot in the cutting tube. The ejector tube is spring loaded so that the separated core may be ejected from the cutting tube by sliding the ejector rod toward the cutting end. A spring return returns the rod and sleeve to a rest position. In another embodiment, the ejector rod is actuated separately from the sleeve to eject the core and the sleeve is then actuated to eject the meat. The sleeve and rod are compression spring loaded to restore the rod and sleeve to the initial position.
