Abstract
An oyster shucker apparatus comprises a base element comprising a first indentation, a cover element connected at an angle to an end of the base element, either removably connected thereto or hinged thereto, the cover element having a second indentation, the first and second indentations sized and configured to hold an oyster therein. A user holds an oyster therein and, with a knife, is able to easily open the oyster with minimal risk of injury.
Claims19
An oyster shucker apparatus comprising:
- a base element comprising a first planar material having a first end and a second end, and a first side and second side, each running from the first end to the second end, wherein the first planar material comprises a top surface that runs roughly horizontal;
- and
- a cover element comprising a second planar material having a bottom surface rotatably attached on a first end thereof to the first end of the base element via a hinge,
- wherein the cover element is rotatable relative to the base element forming a changeable space therebetween, wherein the space is configured to hold an oyster therein for shucking the same with a knife,
- wherein the base element further comprises an angled surface proximal to the first end extending from the horizontal top surface toward the hinge and further wherein the bottom surface of the cover element abuts the angled surface when the cover element is closed on the base element preventing the bottom surface of the cover element from abutting the top surface of the first planar material of the base element.

An oyster shucker apparatus comprising:
- a first element comprising a first planar material having a first end and a second end, and a first side and second side, each running from the first end to the second end of the first element, the first element comprising a slot proximal the first end of the first element and running from the first side to the second side thereof;
- and
- a second element comprising a second planar material having a first end and a second end, and a first side and a second side, each running from the first end to the second end of the second element, the second element comprising an extending element running from the first side to the second side of the second element proximal the first end of the second element, the first flange slidably disposed within the slot within the first element, the second element thereby removably attached on the first end thereof to the first end of the first element,
- wherein the first element and the second element form a space therebetween, wherein the space is configured to hold an oyster therein for shucking the same with a knife.
