PROVISIONAL SPECIFICATION.
Improvements in Egg Openers.
I FREDERICK ROBERT WILDEGOSE, 20 Cambridge Place Paddington London,
Middlesex, Builder & Decorator, do hereby declare the nature of this invention
to be as follows:-
Whereas my invention relates to an expeditious device adapted for cutting and
removeing from an egg a portion of its shell, when boiled or otherwise, at the time

receptical or held in the hand.
In order that my invention may be clearly understood, I provide an apparatus
which instantly and cleanly removes the top portion of an egg, reference being
had to accompanying drawings, I first form shaped beam A. Fig. 1, at the one I
form a cylindrical rim B, slightly coned to fit top portion of egg which may be
half an inch wide and may be lined with india rubber near bottom of cylindrical
rim B. I form a slot or chase C, Fig. 2, round inside, to receive a circular cutter
or blade D., Fig. 1, with shaped point, or points, made of steel this cutter being
quite flat at the underside and thinly beveled on the upper side to sharpe edge,
about half the circumference, at the end of beam A, I form loop E, oval or round
suitable to admit a person's thumb, and also one at the end of blade D, to admit a
person's finger, the blade D, being pivoted to beam A., so as to work inside slot C,
in lower part of cylindrical rim B, on placeing thumb and finger in loop's E. E.
and extending them, at the same tine placeing cylindrical coned rim B. firmly
over the top part of egg, and bringing the thumb and finger together the edge of
cutter passes into slot round rim B. and cleanly removes the top portion of egg.
To suit large & small eggs I provide a portable liner which is placed inside
cylindrical rim B. and similar in shape;
.
Fig. 1. on drawing shows plan of apperatus.
Fig. 2. is a section of cylindrical rim and blade showing egg.
Fig. 3. is a plan of cylindrical coned rim B. looking underneath, showing studs
