The Boye Needle Company of Chicago, Illinois submitted a patent for their first apple corer in July of 1928. The United State Patent Office issued the patent on May 20, 1930. The patent application related "particularly to a coring and peeling device which is especially adapted for removing the cores from apples and for peeling potatoes and removing eyes from potatoes. A primary objective is to provide a device of simple and cheap construction which will enable the core of the apple to be removed with ease and without passing the coring device entirely through the fruit. By leaving the bottom of the apple untouched, a cup is provided in the apple which may be found desirable for containing sugar and juices during the baking operation."Location
