Abstract
A dual action fruit stem removal apparatus that enables hands free fruit stem clipping of stems from two fruits simultaneously. The fruit stem removal apparatus includes an elongated base with a flexible cutting device disposed at first and second ends thereof which are configured to flexibly force a cutting blade against a stop block to cut a stem from a piece of fruit when the stem is inserted between the cutting blade and stop block of each cutting device.
Claims15
A fruit stem removal apparatus, comprising:
- an elongated base including a first end and a second end and an upward extending wall along one side thereof, the wall including an arm support extending from a top portion thereof over the elongated base;
- a flexible center arm connected to the arm support such that the center arm is disposed above and in parallel with the elongated base, a first end of the center arm including a first blade extending therefrom and a second end of the center arm including a first stop block attached thereto to receive an end of a blade;
- a flexible stop block arm attached at a first end to the first end of the elongated base such that the flexible stop block arm extends at an angle upwards towards the blade attached to the center arm, the stop block arm including a second stop block to receive an end of the first blade extending from the center arm when the flexible stop block arm and flexible center arm are pressed downward toward the base;
- and
- a flexible blade arm attached at a first end thereof to the second end of the base such that the flexible blade arm extends at an angle upwards toward the first stop block attached to the second end of the center arm, the blade arm including a second blade extending therefrom which becomes pressed against the first stop block attached to the center arm when the flexible blade arm and flexible center arm are pressed downward toward the base.

A fruit stem removal apparatus, comprising:
- an elongated base including a first end bent downward and a second end bent downward;
- a flexible blade arm attached at a first end thereof to the first downward bent end of the elongated base such that a second end thereof extends at an angle upwards towards a center of the base, the flexible blade arm including a first blade extending outward from the second end thereof;
- a flexible stop block arm attached at a first end thereof to the second downward bent end of the elongated base such that a second end thereof extends at an angle upwards towards the center of the base, the flexible stop block arm including a first stop block attached to the second end thereof;
- and
- an elongated flexible center arm disposed above and in parallel with the elongated base and including:
- a first end having a second stop block attached thereto to contact an edge of the first blade when the flexible blade arm and the first end thereof are pressed downward;
- and
- a second end having a second blade attached thereto to contact the first stop block when the flexible stop block arm and the second end thereof are pressed downward.
