Amco avocado slicer pitter skin#
The skin is then removed simultaneously while slicing the fruit into thin wedges for serving or for further preparation of the fruit. In use, the avocado is sliced in half and an avocado pit is scooped from the center of the fruit. 1 illustrates an avocado pitter/slicer tool 10 for preparing an avocado for serving.
Also, it is to be understood that the phraseology and terminology used herein is for the purpose of description and may not be regarded as limiting. The invention is capable of other embodiments and of being practiced or of being carried out in various ways. 7 is an exploded plan view of another embodiment of a slicer for the avocado pitter/slicer.īefore any embodiments of the invention are explained in detail, it is to be understood that the invention is not limited in its application to the details of construction and the arrangement of components set forth in the following description or illustrated in the drawings. 6 is a perspective view of the slicer shown in FIG. 1, including a continuous wire forming the slicing elements.įIG. 5 is an exploded plan view of the slicer for the avocado/pitter slicer shown in FIG. 4 is an end view of a closing member for the slicer and the tool handle.įIG. 1 with a portion of the tool handle removed to reveal a chamber within the handle.įIG. 3 is top plan view of the avocado pitter/slicer shown in FIG. 2 is a plan view of another embodiment of a slicer for the avocado pitter/slicer.įIG. 1 is a perspective view of one embodiment of an avocado pitter/slicer tool.įIG. Other aspects of the invention will become apparent by consideration of the detailed description and accompanying drawings. An anchor point is positioned at the proximal end of the frame, wherein the slicing elements extend from the anchor point to the distal end of the frame.
A plurality of slicing elements extend from the proximal end of the frame to the distal end of the frame, and each slicing element is substantially parallel to an adjacent slicing element. The slicer includes a frame having a proximal end and a distal end, wherein a portion of the proximal end of the frame is positioned within a chamber defined in the handle. The scoop is configured and adapted for removing a pit of the avocado. In yet another embodiment, the invention provides a tool for preparing an avocado that includes a handle having a first end and a second end, a scoop coupled to the first end of the handle, and a slicer extending from the second end of the handle. The slicer includes a frame having a proximal end and a distal end, and a plurality of slicing elements extending from the proximal end of the frame to the distal end of the frame. In another embodiment, the invention provides a tool for preparing an avocado that includes a handle having a first end and a second end, a scoop coupled to the first end of the handle, and a slicer extending from the second end of the handle. Each slicing element is substantially parallel to an adjacent slicing element. In one embodiment, the invention provides an avocado slicer including a frame having a proximal end and a distal end, and a plurality of slicing elements extending from the proximal end of the frame to the distal end of the frame. Cleaning the fiber out of these spaces can be difficult since cleaning devices may be too large to get in between the converging wires to remove the fibrous fruit. During slicing, avocado residue, such as the fruit fiber, may become trapped in the spaces and tangled around the wires near the anchor point. Adjacent the anchor point, where the slicing wires converge, very tight and close spaces are formed between the wires. Each slicing wire extends radially outward from the anchor point to a point along the frame to form a fan-like appearance. The slicer includes a C-shaped frame with slicing wires anchored at a single anchor point at one end of the frame.
One tool currently used in avocado preparation includes a handle with a fan-like slicer attached to one end of the handle. Often the excessive and firm handling of the fruit during this process leaves the fruit in a pulpy mess, making the avocado appear unappetizing. Typically, the avocado skin is removed, leaving the fleshy fruit exposed to handling, the avocado pit is removed, and the fruit is sliced for preparation and/or consumption. Preparation of avocadoes for consumption can be a messy endeavor. The present invention relates to a multi-purpose tool for preparing an avocado, and in particular, the pitting, peeling and slicing of an avocado.
