(57) Abstract :
The present invention discloses a foot pedal operated device for husking large dry drupes such as Coconuts and its operation
method. The entire foot pedal operated device is supported on a support platform (13) made of metal such as steel, forming the
base of the device. The device is operated by plunging Coconut (C) to be husked onto the pair of blades (11F, 11M), such that one
of the blades (11F) is fixed, and the other blade (11M) is movable, relative to the fixed blade (11F). A user steps on the foot pedal
(12), causing the spring to compress. The compression of the spring results in pulling of the rod and the movement of the rod
causes the movable blade (11M) to move relative to fixed blade (11F), thereby splitting open the plunged Coconut (C)such that
the Coconut is husked leaving the shell intact.
