Abstract
Tool comprises an elongated handle having a bifurcated extension projecting from one end and at least one elongated blade member affixed to and spanning said bifurcated extension substantially perpendicular to the longitudinal axis thereof. The blade member extends laterally beyond the branches of the bifurcated extension and constitutes working edges of the blade. The two opposed longitudinal outer edges of the blade member project from opposite sides of the bifurcated extension and constitute additional working edges of the blade. The tool is utilized by grasping the handle and passing the working edge of the blade over the surfaces of cut meat slices or pieces to remove bone dust, loose fat particles, etc., therefrom.
Claims2
A one piece tool for dressing meat comprising an elongated plastic handle portion, said handle portion being formed with an integral resilient plastic bifurcated extension at one end, each branch of said bifurcated extension being of substantially uniform cross-sectional area less than that of the main unbifurcated body of said handle, at least one elongated blade member of resilient plastic integral with and spanning said bifurcated extension portion of said handle substantially perpendicular to the longitudinal axis thereof, the terminal ends of said blade member being disposed to extend laterally beyond the branches of said bifurcated extension portion, said terminal ends being tapered to a line along their transverse edges whereby to form working edges on said blade adapted to be applied to a substantially flat surface of cut meat to scrape and dress the same, said blade member being integral in structure and having a elongated sexangular cross-section of substantially uniform width along its length, the two opposed outer longitudinal edges of said blade each being tapered to a line along their lengths whereby to form working edges on said blade adapted to be applied to a substantially flat surface of cut meat to scrape and dress the same.
