Abstract:
A fruit coring system for a coconut having a central cavity in which the system includes a coring assembly and a corkscrew assembly. The coring assembly uses a pipe-like segment having a length proportioned to a depth sufficient to reach the central cavity of the fruit, the segment having a serrated first end and an open second end having internal threadings. Lateral arms extend from an outer surface of the pipe-like segment, for facilitating its selectable rotation after the corkscrew assembly has positioned the pipe-like assembly upon the fruit to be cored. The corkscrew assembly includes a corkscrew proper and a boss proportioned for threadable engagement with the threaded inner surface of the pipe-like segment. with a second end of the elongate member. A handle of the corkscrew assembly is integral to a side of the boss opposite the corkscrew proper elongate member.
