A fruit stem removal apparatus, comprising:
- an elongated flat base including a first end and a second end;
- a single flexible blade arm attached at a first end thereof to the first end of the base such that a second end thereof extends at an angle toward the second end of the base and directly over a center of the base, the blade arm including a blade removably attached to and extending away from the second end of the flexible blade arm;
- a single flexible stop block arm attached at a first end thereof to the second end of the base such that a second end thereof extends at an angle toward the first end of the base and directly over the center of the base to face the blade, the stop block arm including a stop block attached thereto to rest adjacent to and receive the second end of the blade therein when either one of or both the flexible blade arm and the flexible stop block arm is pressed downward toward the base such that the blade contacts an inner surface of the stop block.
A fruit stem removal apparatus, comprising:
- an elongated flat base including a first end and a second end;
- a single elongated pivotal blade arm attached at a first end thereof to the first end of the base such that a second end thereof extends toward the second end of the elongated flat base and directly over a center of the base, the pivotal blade arm including a blade extending outward from the second end thereof;
- a single elongated pivotal stop block arm attached at a first end thereof to the second end of the base such that a second end thereof extends toward the first end of the elongated base and directly over a center of the base to face the blade on the second end of the blade arm, the pivotal stop block arm including a stop block at the second end thereof to receive a portion of the blade therein when either one of or both the pivotal blade arm and the pivotal stop block arm is pivoted downward toward the base such that the blade will make contact with an inner surface of the stop block to cut a stem of a fruit.
