摘要 A device for cracking the shells of edible nuts comprising a body member having a cavity for receiving a nut. An impactor is resiliently connected to the body member. The impactor is manually pulled away from the body member against the force exerted by its resilient connection, and then released, to be projected by the resilient connection against a nut in the cavity.
权利要求
1. A hand-held, manually operable, device for cracking the shells of edible nuts, comprising a containing member having continuous walls defining a space for receiving, substantially within the confines of the member, a nut to be cracked, an opening in a surface of the member providing access to the space, said opening being at least as large as the smallest dimension of a nut to permit the nut to be inserted in the space, a length of resilient means attached at or adjacent its ends to two locations on the walls of the member adjacent the opening, said attaching locations positioned so an imaginary line joining the two attaching locations substantially bisects the opening, and an impactor on the resilient means for cracking the shell of the nut, the impactor located substantially midway along the length of the resilient means between its attachment locations to the wall.
2. A device as claimed in claim 1, wherein the impactor comprises a hard ball member fixedly mounted on the resilient means.
3. A device as claimed in claim 1, wherein the length of resilient means comprises an elastic band.
