CA 2315764

A cutting device is disclosed for use to derind a half-section of a citrus fruit. The device has an upwardly opened container with a vertical axis. An upwardly opened cup is coaxially mounted in a removable manner within the container at a short distance from the upper edge thereof, in order to receive and hold he half-section to be derinded. A manually operable knife-supporting element is removably mounted in a rotatable manner coaxially on top of the container. This element has an annular bottom edge shaped and sized to fit and be slidable onto the upper edge of the container. It also has a knife- receiving sleeve that extends at a radial distance from said vertical axis and projects downwardly towards the central bottom portion of the cup. A knife is removably insertable into the sleeve after the half section has been positioned on top of the container. Once inserted into the sleeve, the knife has its blade that penetrates into the fruit at a short distance from he rind thereof and allows the half- section of the fruit to be derinded upon manual rotation of the knife-supporting element with respect to the container. Advantageously, the device may have two or more cups having central portions of different sizes to receive fruits of corresponding different sizes. In such a case, the knife-supporting element also has a corresponding number of knife receiving sleeves located at different radial distances to allow optimum adjustment of the position of the blade of the knife depending on the size of the central portion of the selected cup.
