    Abstract: An apparatus for preparing fruit includes a main housing with a cutting area containing a cutting assembly and a drive assembly, a removable cup assembly for inserting the fruit into the apparatus, and a removable drawer and tray for removing cut pieces of fruit from the apparatus after a cutting operation. The apparatus includes a rinsing assembly for cleaning the fruit and the cutting assembly, and a deflector configured to route cut pieces of fruit into the tray and waste material through a disposal outlet. The cutting assembly is configured to perform one or more cutting operations depending on the type of fruit detected in the cup assembly: wedging for apples, lemons, limes, and pears, and cutting/peeling for oranges and grapefruits. The apparatus quickly prepares various fruits for consumption without requiring an operator to touch the cut pieces of fruit.

    Abstract: A garlic clove peeler comprising a housing formed with a clove receiving compartment and with a friction wall and a balloon-like complimentary peeling element made of resilient material and having a shaft that has a rotational axis and that removably connects to the housing. The peeling element being formed with a peeler surface extending adjacent the friction wall and resiliently biased in a direction facing the friction wall wherein the friction wall and the peeler surface are concentric with respect to the rotational axis of the shaft. A displacement mechanism is provided for rotating one or both of the friction wall and the peeling element about the rotational axis, wherein a gap extends between the peeler surface and the friction wall, and wherein the gap is sized so as to snugly receive one or more garlic cloves and to allow the cloves to be carried around in the gap while maintaining contact with said peeler surface on one side and with the friction wall on the other side during the operation of the displacement mechanism and to be peeled without being bruised, and wherein the peeling element retains its shape.

    Abstract: An apparatus includes a drive structure on which are mounted both a first blade carrier and a second blade carrier. The first blade carrier has a first blade facing a cutting surface of a first screen portion, and is mounted on the drive structure so that the first blade is moveable along a first positioning axis with respect to the cutting surface of the first screen portion. The second blade carrier has a second blade facing a cutting surface of a second screen portion, and is mounted on the drive structure so that the second blade is moveable along a second positioning axis with respect to the cutting surface of the second screen portion. A first pressure is used to vary the force with which the first blade presses against the first screen portion and a second fluid pressure is used to vary the force with which the second blade presses against the second screen portion.

    Abstract: A system, method and device for cutting and peeling a root vegetable. The system includes a frame to receive a cooked root vegetable, a surface slidably connected to the frame to move linearly and reciprocally along at least a portion of the length of the frame, a wire assembly fixed to the frame and oriented perpendicular to the movement of the surface, and power to enable the surface to move toward the wire assembly. When the surface is activated, it moves the vegetable through the wire assembly which simultaneously cuts and removes the skin therefrom.
