 Idea/Innovation Title: Innovative Knife To Cut Pineapple.

Unique/Innovative Feature of the Idea/Innovation:

This innovative model of knife is used to remove the spiny covering of pine apple. Pine apple is
very important fruit and is good for health. But it is very difficult to remove its spiny peel. They
pierce our hands. This innovative knife is used to cut the pine apple and to remove its spiny
peels easily.

How did this idea strike you first?

One day my father brought a pine apple and asked my mother to cut it. My mother tried to cut
the pine apple with an ordinary knife, but the spines on its peel pierce her hands. I also tried to
remove the peel. It was very difficult and the spines also pierce my hands. It was very painful.
So I thought that there should be a new tool which can easily remove the peel of pine apple. I
thought about it and an idea about this model penetrated in my mind.

What motivated you to develop this idea?

I have seen many tools which are used for different purposes. For example a sickle is used to cut
grass, an axe is used to cut wood, a blade is used to cut iron, a scissors are used to cut hair, etc. I
thought that a tool can also be made to remove the spiny peel of pine apple. But I couldn’t get
the proper idea about how to make it.
One day I made use of a steel glass to remove the peel of
pine apple. I put the steel glass invertedly on a slice of a pine apple and pressed it from upper
side. The sharp edge of the glass/ brim penetrated the slice of a pine apple and removed its peel.
I worked on it and after sometime I was able to make this project.

Your biggest inspiration/idol:

My parents and my teachers always inspire me. They all play a crucial role in my life and in my
study. They give strength to me and provide necessary support to me. They guide me and give
courage to me to overcome my obstacles.

 Idea/Innovation Description:

A knife is an instrument composed of a blade fixed into a handle, used for cutting or as a weapon. A
knife is available in a wide variety of different types and sizes and is used for cutting, chopping, dicing,
slicing, mincing, peeling, separating and other kitchen tasks.
The blade is the main body of the knife that includes the point, tip, edge, spine and heel.
The size, shape and material of the blade are the most defining characteristics of the knife. The tip of the
knife, which includes the point, is typically considered to be the first third of the edge. This portion of
the blade is used for slicing and delicate cutting.
This innovative model of knife is used to remove the spiny covering of pine apple. Pine
apple is very important fruit. It is a tropical fruit that are rich in vitamins, enzymes and antioxidants. It is
very good for health but when we cut it and try to remove its peels, the spines present on it pierce our
hands, which are very painful. This innovative Knife is used to remove the spiny peels of the pine apple
easily.
This model / project consists of following parts.
1) Two cylindrical glass steel glasses
2) Metal rod
3) Spring
4) Clips

Two steel glasses are taken. One of them will be fitted inside the other glass. The outer
glass is called outer case and the inner glass is called the inner case. A Small metal rod is attached to the
inner case and a spring is fitted around the metal rod. Two movable clips are also attached to the inner
case. The two steel glasses are fitted with each other in such a way that the two glasses slides over each
other easily. The spring helps them in their sliding. The two clips allow them to move to a certain limits.
The lower edge of the outer steel glass is made very sharp. This edge is used to remove the outer
covering of a pine apple slice.
The pine apple is cut into small slices. Now place the knife on the slice in such a way
that the sharp edge of the Knife is kept on the slice. Now press the upper end of the knife. When the
outer case is pressed, it moves down wards. Its lower edge, which is very sharp, penetrates the slice and
removes its spiny covering or peel. In this way the pine apple slices are separated from its spiny covering
by this innovative Knife.
