Patent number: 7430958Abstract: A double blade peeling device for vegetable and fruit comprises a handle attached to a vegetable and fruit retaining member and a body of screw, the handle can drive internal gears to rotate, so as to make the retaining member and the body of screw to rotate as well. The body of screw, which is provided with two screw threads, drives upper and lower blade carriers to move upward and downward oppositely, such that the blades mounted on the upper and lower blade carriers move downward and upward respectively, contact the rotating food frictionally, and peel vegetable or fruit from upside and underside simultaneously. When two blade carriers move to the intermediate position to complete the peeling action, the two blade carriers open through wedge in blade carrier devices, two blades leave the surface of food, the lower blade carrier devices disengage with the body of screw. The body of screw drives upper blade carrier device to press the lower blade carrier device to move downward unceasingly.Type: GrantFiled: September 29, 2005Date of Patent: October 7, 2008Inventor: Yan Kwong Wong

Patent number: 5950529Abstract: A vegetable peeling device for peeling vegetables. The vegetable peeling device includes a housing has a lower base portion, a gear housing portion, and a drum portion. The drum portion of the housing has an inner surface defining a reservoir. The drum portion of the housing has a top opening into the reservoir of the drum portion and a bottom opening providing a passage between the reservoir of the drum portion and the lower base portion of the housing. The drum portion has a tubular inlet spout into the reservoir. A spinning plate is rotatably mounted in the lower base portion of the housing adjacent the bottom opening of the drum portion of the housing. The spinning plate has an elongate bumper ridge upwardly extending therefrom. The inner surface of the drum portion of the housing comprising an abrasive surface.Type: GrantFiled: January 21, 1999Date of Patent: September 14, 1999Inventor: Lloyd T. Molloy

Patent number: 5617783Abstract: A peeler uses parallel inclined valleys in a cylindrical interior surface to serve as channels. The parallel valleys are between parallel ridges or ribs. A rotary disk having a series of bumps and an abrasive surface is rotated so as to abrasively remove an outer portion of agricultural products. The debris corresponding to removed portions is urged downwardly and out a peripheral debris exit by the ridges as rotation takes place. A wear rim around the disk has an upper surface and the debris exit is between the wear rim and the interior surface. The interior surface is on a liner having a lower surface. The upper surface of the wear rim is no greater than 1/4 inch higher than a lower edge of the liner such that a restricted passage therebetween has a height no greater than 1/4 inch. An expansion zone is just below the restricted passage.Type: GrantFiled: December 21, 1995Date of Patent: April 8, 1997Assignee: Beeler Industries, Inc.Inventor: Michael L. Beeler
