Abstract
A peeler is formed with a tubular main body having a first open end, an opposing second open end, and a hollow interior extending from the first open end to the second open end. The tubular main body is formed from a first flexible material allowing the tubular main body to deform under pressure by a use. A pick is attached to the first open end and extends away from the second open end, the pick being formed from a second material, the second material being different from the first material and further being relatively more rigid than the first material.

A peeler, comprising:
- a tubular main body having a first open end, an opposing second open end, and a hollow interior extending from the first open end to the second open end;
- the tubular main body being formed from a first flexible material allowing the tubular main body to deform under pressure by a user;
- and
- a pick attached to the first open end and extending away from the second open end, the pick being formed from a second material, the second material being different from the first material and further being relatively more rigid than the first material.
The peeler of claim 5, wherein less than one quarter of the pick axial length extends into the interior of the tubular main body between the first top rim and the second top rim
A peeler, comprising:
- a tubular main body having a first open end, an opposing second open end, and a hollow interior extending axially from the first open end to the second open end;
- the tubular main body further having a top end extending between a first top rim and a second top rim, and a bottom end extending from a first bottom rim and a second bottom rim, the top end having a length which is less than a length of the bottom end;
- the tubular main body being formed from a thermoplastic elastomer;
- and
- the tubular main body further having a rigid pick mounted at the first bottom rim, the pick extending away from the second open end.
