Abstract:
1. A device for manually perforating a sheet of aluminum foil, comprising: a) a first member having a thickness and a first surface with a plurality of apertures formed therein, said apertures having a depth less than a thickness of said first member; b) first and second guide posts formed on said first member which extends upwardly above said first surface; c) a second member having an upper surface and a lower surface, and a first side and a second side, at least a convex portion of said upper surface being ergonomically sculptured to fit a human hand, said ergonomically sculptured portion extending from said first side to said second side, said lower surface having a plurality of projections extending downwardly therefrom, each of said plurality of projections being sized and configured to be simultaneously inserted into one of said plurality of apertures, and each of said projections having a sharp terminal end; and d) first and second guide holes formed in said second member which are sized and configured to cooperate with said first and second guide posts, said posts having no fasteners, thus permitting said second member to move vertically relative to said first member and to be separated from said first member when being cleaned, whereby a sheet of aluminum foil placed between said first and second members, when they are spaced apart from one another, can be perforated by pressing said second member against said first member.
