Abstract: A hand held pistachio nut opener for splitting open pistachio nut shells and removing the edible nut from the opened half shells comprises forwardly directed upper and lower protruding members having forward distal edges adapted to be inserted in the lateral peripheral separation between the half shells of the pistachio nut to split open the half shells. The upper protrusion member is operative to open upwardly relative to the stationary lower protrusion member. The upper forward protrusion member is secured to a rearward extension member operatively rotatable about an interconnecting means secured to a rearward extension means of the stationary lower protrusion member.

Abstract: A two piece slip-sinker for use on fishing lines comprises a two sectional sinker adapted to separate at a linear disposed, axial central opening to receive a fishing line. The two piece slip-sinker is maintained as a unitary sinker by means of an elastomeric O-ring engaging a circumferential periphery channel disposed in the outer surface of the assembled slip-sinker and orientated transverse to the axial through opening. The two piece slip-sinker contains internal engaging means for interlocking the interface surfaces of the two sections and prevent interface movement between the two sections while locked in place by the elastomeric O-ring.
