Abstract

A disposable corn cob holder that remains an intact-holder ( 10 ) and benign until ready to use by separating half ( 14 ) and half ( 14 A) and twisting handle ( 22 ) and handle ( 22 A) back and forth until separated along grooved-diagonal ( 12 ). Once separated into half ( 14 ) and half ( 14 A) the sharp-point ( 16 ) is penetrated into either end of the corn cob up to the point of maximum-depth ( 20 ) leaving handle ( 22 ) and handle ( 22 ) exposed for holding the corn cob while eating. Once the corn cob has been consumed the corn cob holder can be disposed of with the spent corn cob.

Claims

exact text as granted — not AI-modified
What is claimed is:  
     
         1 . A disposable corn cob holder comprising a flat body elongated single piece of rigid material diagonally bisected by a groove, for use with and to retain in a secure, in a non-rotateable position, an ear of corn having a one and an other end and having outer kernels and a soft inner pith surrounded by a woody ring of lignified tissue, which corn holder comprises.  
     
     
         2 . The holder in  claim 1  wherein said is of sufficient depth and does not completely separate said body of  claim 1 .  
     
     
         3 . The holder in  claim 1  wherein said body is separated along said groove of  claim 2  into two equal halves by twisting a one and an other end back and forth.  
     
     
         4 . Said two equally halves of  claim 3 , each half comprising of at one end a point, an edge, a point of maximum depth and from the point of maximum depth to the other end a handle.  
     
     
         5 . Said groove of  claim 1  has a “V” shaped groove resulting in edge of  claim 4 .  
     
     
         6 . Said groove of  claim 1  has a squared shaped groove resulting in edge of  claim 4 .  
     
     
         7 . Said edge of  claim 4  has a straight edge.  
     
     
         8 . Said edge of  claim 4  has a curved edge.  
     
     
         9 . Said edge of  claim 4  has a saw-toothed edge.  
     
     
         10 . The holder in  claim 1  wherein has intersecting diagonal grooves.  
     
     
         11 . The said intersecting diagonal grooves of  claim 10  of sufficient depth and does not completely separate said body of  claim 1 .  
     
     
         12 . The said grooves in  claim 10  as to allow for the consumer to separate said body of  claim 1  into two equal halves by twisting a one and an other end back and forth.  
     
     
         13 . Said two equally separated halves of  claim 12 , each half comprising of at one end a point, edges, a point of maximum depth and from the point of maximum depth to the other end a handle.  
     
     
         14 . Said grooves of  claim 10  has a “V” shaped groove resulting in edges of  claim 13 .  
     
     
         15 . Said groove of  claim 10  has a squared shaped groove resulting in edges of  claim 13 .  
     
     
         16 . Said edge of  claim 13  has a straight edges.  
     
     
         17 . Said edge of  claim 13  has a curved edges.  
     
     
         18 . Said edge of  claim 13  has a saw-toothed edges.  
     
     
         19 . The elongated single piece of rigid material of  claim 1  will be of sufficient length and width to yield a handle in claims  4  and  claim 13  sufficiently rigid to support said corn cob of  claim 1  and point in  claim 4  and  claim 13  claim to penetrated corn cob of  claim 1
