Patent ID: 8635949

Claim:
A coring system for a fruit having a central cavity, comprising: (a) a coring assembly comprising: (i) a rigid pipe-like segment having a length proportioned to a depth of said cavity at least from the surface of the fruit, said pipe-like segment having a serrated first end and an open second end having internal threadings proximally thereto; and (ii) radial arms rotationally extensible from an outer surface of said rigid pipe-like segment, proximal to said second end thereof, for facilitating manual axial rotation of said pipe-like segment toward said central cavity of the fruit; and (b) a corkscrew assembly, comprising: (i) a corkscrew proper; (ii) an elongate stem having a first end in integral communication with an upper end of said corkscrew proper; (iii) integrally secured between said first end and a second end of said elongate segment, a boss radially protuberantly proportioned for and threadably engaged with said internal threadings of said second end of said pipe-like segment, said boss having therein a longitudinal channel complementally proportioned to permit slidable axial movement of said stem therethrough, said boss, when threaded within said internal threadings of said pipe-like segment, permitting said rigid arms to rotate said serrated end of said pipe-like segment into the flesh of said fruit and into said cavity thereof, and (iv) a handle of said corkscrew assembly, integral with said second end of said elongate stem, for rotation of said corkscrew proper and stem into the flesh of said fluid in which an aggregate length of an entirety of said corkscrew assembly substantially exceeds a length of said coring assembly, in which counter-rotation of said pipe-like segment by said handles effects an outward extrusion of a cylindrical core of said fruit and sliding of said stem through said channel of said boss, enabling juice within the central cavity of said fruit, to be accessed through a void space created by said extrusion of said core of the fruit.
