Abstract
Abstract A nut cracker table has a rectangular board-like table top supported by a plurality of legs above a supporting surface. A hole is formed through the table top. A chute is affixed to the undersurface of the table top under the hole and directs shelled nuts to a specific area under the table top. A shield is affixed to the oversurface of the table top to prevent the hulls of nuts cracked by a nut cracker on the oversurface from scattering.

A nut cracker table for accommodating a nut cracking device, directing shelled nuts to a specific area and preventing the hulls from scattering, said nut cracker table comprising a substantially rectangular board-like table top having an oversurface, a spaced parallel undersurface, spaced parallel front and rear edges and a pair of spaced parallel side edges perpendicular to the front and rear edges and joining said front and rear edges, said table top having a hole formed therethrough; a plurality of legs supporting said table top at a distance above a supporting surface; a chute affixed to the undersurface of said table top under the hole through said table top for directing shelled nuts to a specific area under said table top; and a shield affixed to the oversurface of said table top for preventing the hulls of nuts cracked by a nut cracking device on said oversurface from scattering, said shield having a back part extending over the oversurface of said table top from the rear edge of said table top at an angle with said table top and a pair of side parts each extending from said back part to a corresponding one of the side edges of said table top, said side parts extending substantially perpendicularly to said oversurface.
