Electrically-operated hand fruit and vegetable peeler

Abstract

An electrically-operated hand peeler having a peeler attachment removably coupled to the output shaft of an electrical motor is disclosed. The rotating drive of the electric motor causes the peeler attachment to rotate. The peeler attachment includes a rough exterior surface and abrades the outside surface of fruits and vegetables when the rough surface of the peeler attachment comes into contact with the outside surface of the fruits and vegetables. The peeler attachment can have varying degrees of surface roughness depending on the fruit or vegetable to be peeled. A shield is provided as a removable attachment to control and guide the peeled skin that is removed by the peeler. There may be additional accessories that could be used with the peeling device including a corer attachment and a blender attachment.
