Abstract
A corn holder comprises a first tubular element which is telescopic with respect to a second tubular element. Each tubular element includes a facing end with an outwardly projecting corn piercable tine and each includes a cavity in the facing end for receiving tine of the other cavity when the two tubular elements are telescopically engaged. The tines are advantageously shaped so that they occupy a portion of a complete tube for example a semi-cylindrical shape with the dimensions of the tine being such that the interengagement of the two tine elements is sufficiently snug so that they remain frictionally interengaged. The tines may be of varying shape and configuration and may even be solid rod elements which fit into receiving cylindrical recesses of the opposite tubular member.
Claims8
A corn holder comprising first and second holder members each having a circularly cylindrical handle portion with a facing end having an axially extending arcuate portion defining a corn piercing tine offset radially inwardly and projecting axially outwardly from said facing end and having a corn engaging pointed end, said holder members each defining a cylindrical receiving cavity extending inwardly from said facing end of a size to accommodate the corn piercing tine of the other holder member for telescopic interengagement therewith, the facing ends of said first and second holders being disposable in a substantially abutting position when said first and second holder members are interengaged, and being disposed in an interengaged position with the arcuate portions which define the tines being disposed in diametrically opposite positions and extending in respective opposite axial directions into the associated cylindrical handle portion offset radially from the tine of the other handle portion.
