Abstract
A citrus fruit halving device comprising a holder and blade both of plastic and formed integrally and of one piece with each other, the blade having a sawtooth upper edge disposed adjacent the upper portions of the side walls of the holder, the holder forming a juice-confining chamber at its bottom and having enlarged and generally circular recesses in the side walls, adequate in size to receive the citrus fruits when thrust downwardly over the blade with a slight rotation to halve the fruit, the recess having a depth below the top edge of the blade nearly as deep as the diameter of the fruit so that the fruit may be halved in one downward thrusting motion with slight rotation.
