The present invention provides an assembly for accessing coconut water in a coconut comprising a screw having a rod with spiral threads on the outside surface of the rod and a sharp tip for drilling through coconut shell, and a handle on the top of the rod for twisting the rod through the coconut shell; and a lid having a threaded through-hole on the vertical center thereof for receiving and housing a sharp tip of the rod, wherein the lid of the assembly is placed and fixed on the germination pore of the coconut by a fixing means and wherein the screw is prevented from drilling the coconut shell by locking means.

Devices, systems, and methods are provided for opening a coconut. A coconut opening device or system may include a piercing component to pierce a coconut; an adjustable component to move the piercing component vertically with respect to the ground toward and away from a coconut based on a received user input; and a coconut holding component arranged below the piercing component to secure the coconut while the coconut is pierced by the piercing component.

The coconut punch tap driller is composed of the 2-part casing (10) composed of a narrow section (20) that is cylindrically-shaped Tap 1 with a small diameter and sharp end made of plastic functioning to drill into the inside of the coconut (60). Next to the narrow section (20) is shaped into a flat section with a large diameter (30) functioning to distribute the weight of the upper impact force, so the narrow section (20) drills into the coconut (60). The flat section with the large diameter (30) is Tap 2. Next to the flat section with a large diameter (30) is the wide section (50) made from plastic with rectangle-shaped Tap 3 composed of Smooth Wall 1 (1), Smooth Wall 2 (2) and the Upper Smooth Wall (3). Tap 1, Tap 2 and Tap 3 are together on the same center, functioning as a space for inserting a straw (4) to drink coconut water.

A two stage system for extraction of oil from whole citrus fruit is provided. The first stage is known in the art and includes a first plurality of toothed rollers which convey citrus as the teeth penetrate and rupture oil glands. The oil passes into a first water pan. A novel second stage uses a second plurality of toothed rollers to continue the penetration and rupturing of oil glands. The second plurality of rollers are positioned in an isolated second pan to partially submerge the citrus. A middle phase liquor with extremely low oil concentration is transferred into said second pan to initiate desorption of oil from the citrus. The desorption technique in one embodiment increases yield by 4% or more. This technique is expected to increase yield even more as the recovery by the first stage is reduced.

The present invention relates to a novel citrus juicer.

A resealable spigot for a coconut that provides easy access by consumers to the sterile coconut water within a coconut includes a valve seat positioned within a coconut aperture and a plunger sleeve positioned within the valve seat. The plunger sleeve has a based positioned membrane that seals the coconut aperture, A plunger-stopper is tethered to the plunger sleeve for shipping and storage and is used by the consumer to pierce the plunger sleeve membrane to gain access to the coconut water. The plunger sleeve is also used to reseal the coconut aperture to preserve any remaining coconut water for future consumption. Further provided is an additional embodiment for a spigot comprising a conduit having a spike-tip on one end and a spout on the other with a through bore therebetween. The coconut having a partially inserted spigot is provided to the consumer whereby the consumer gains access to the sterile coconut water by pushing the partially inserted spigot to its seated position with a grommet provided as an insertion stop for the spigot. An optional air vent is provided to aid in fluid flow from the spigot.
