FIELD OF THE INVENTION
This invention relates to Jack Fruit cutter and has for its object the provision of a novel device including a shear member adapted for cutting Jack Fruit, the device being also furthermore adapted for use as a stem remover whereby the stem inside the jack fruit may be sheared off without any danger of cutting or otherwise injuring the jackfruit bulbs.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
There are various conventional tools used for jackfruit cutting and bulb Separation. Majority of the users were using kitchen knife, steel blade, sickle, and axe for cutting jackfruit. Manual jackfruit cutting is a time consuming and labour intensive process. Jackfruit cutting and splitting tools require faster fruit cutting with high capacity and minimum bulb damage, besides drudgery free operation. There are certain mechanical devices existing for separating the bulb. For example, in known device, a jackfruit cutting tool was developed consisting of an outer stainless steel pipe welded with a saw-tooth cutter of 4.6 cm diameter. This tool removed core, and embedded bulbs were eased to separate manually. Then jackfruit rind was cut one side by a kitchen knife and the splitting tool opened into two halves. Finally bulbs were separated manually. This was a semi mechanical tool.
There are even mechanical devices which peel off the outer skin of the jack fruit. However these tools are practical failures because of the latex emitting from the jack fruit. The continuous working of the device cannot be assured as the latex will clog the machines. An aspect of the present invention is to address at least the above-mentioned problems and/or disadvantages and to provide at" least the advantages described below.

BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWING ALONG WITH DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFFRED EMBODIMENTS
Brief description of drawings as well as further features and advantages of this method and apparatus according to the invention, will be clearer with the description of some of its pattern realizations that follow, made to illustrate but limit, with reference to the annexed drawings, in which: more fully described and claimed, and illustrated in the accompanying drawings, in which:
Figure 1 is a top plan view of my device.
Figure 2 is a side elevation thereof.
Referring more particularly to the drawings, the device comprising a
preferably rectangular shaped base 1, which might be formed of wood or solid
metal or which might preferably be formed as a metal stamping. Secured upon
one edge of the base and coextensive there with is a pivotally associated
^ rjn-e^all^ shear fbar 2 cyvhfefoHs dimply '£r£ elongated iftrip^of fnetalhaving sharp

cutting base. The pivotal connection of shear bar and the bracket consists of a stud 4 carrying a cam like head cooperating with a cam projection on the shear bar. The device thus far described constitutes simply a Jack Fruit cutter as will be understood.
When the device is to be used simply as a Jack Fruit cutter, the Jack Fruit • to be cut is of course placed upon the base lwith the centre to be cut off projecting beyond the shear bar 2, after which the operator grasps the handle 6 and moves the shear bar with sharp edge downwardly so that the Jack Fruit will be severed.
When the device is to be used as a stem cutter, the operator grasps the jack fruti will be disposed in upright position projecting the stem outside shear bar. After which the cutter blade is operated in the same manner as in cutting Jack Fruit as above described.
