Abstract:
A coconut opener (10) with an extractor for the section of the skin and shell to be removed. The opener (10) includes a handle assembly (20) wherein a off center handle member (24) is rigidly mounted to a shank that in turn is rigidly mounted to a blade assembly (40). The blade assembly (40) has an arcuate shape and it includes two different edge zones. The first edge zone (42) is designed to puncture through the skin and shell of the coconut and it has a strait angular relationship with the back of the blade. The next zone includes edges (44) and (46) follows a tangent relationship with the back of blade (40) and it ends up with a cross-sectional shape of half of an eliptical path. When the opener is fully inserted, and rotated, a section of the skin and shell is thereby removed.
