20090107347 | Egg breaker - A tool for breaking and opening comprises first and second complementary concave egg-receiving container members pivoted to one another at a first axis, and first and second concave egg-confining members each pivoted to one of the complementary concave egg-receiving container members at a respective axis parallel to the first axis. Egg-piercing points are formed on mating edges of the egg-receiving container members. In order to break and open an egg, the egg-receiving container members are first operated such that their mating edges are juxtaposed to one another, such that an egg-receiving cavity is formed therebetween. An egg is then placed in this cavity, and the egg-confining members are pivoted so as to confine the egg in the cavity. The tool and egg therein are then rapped sharply against a hard surface, such that the shell of the egg is pierced by the egg-piercing points, defining a separation line extending substantially circumferentially around the shell of the egg. The egg-receiving container members are then pivoted away from one another, by finger pressure applied to the egg-confining members, whereupon the eggshell parts along the separation line, allowing the contents to be poured out. Because the eggshell parts neatly along the separation line, shell fragments do not tend to become mixed with the contents of the shell. | 04-30-2009 |
