MUMBAI, India, Feb. 27 -- Intellectual Property India has published a patent application (202541133420 A) filed by Dr. Mahalingam College Of Engineering And Technology, Coimbatore, Tamil Nadu, on Dec. 30, 2025, for 'portable lever based coconut dehusker.'
Inventor(s) include M. Padmanaban; M. Jayaraj; N. Shanmuga Sundaram; and A. Harith Kumar.
The application for the patent was published on Feb. 27, under issue no. 09/2026.
According to the abstract released by the Intellectual Property India: "The present invention describes a Portable Lever-Based Coconut Dehusker, 100, which is constructed for efficiently and safely manually removing coconut husk. This device consists of a foldable base frame, an adjustable vertical frame, a Vshaped jaw for securely clamping coconuts, and a high-mechanical-advantage lever pivoted on a rod assembly. A hardened peeling tooth mounted at the lever's distal end conducts-controlled penetration, tearing, and peeling of the husk when the lever is actuated. During use, the mechanism reduces the effort put by the operator by 50-70% when compared to conventional spike-hased dehusking. Due to the compact, lightweight, and power-free nature of this design, it is highly feasible for implementation at farms, remote areas, and field environments. Additionally, its adjustable frame and protected peeling system make the device safe to the user, portable, and repetitively work for coconuts with different diameters. The present invention provides an improved manual dehusking solution that embodies portability, occupy less space for storing purposes, ergonomics, and mechanical leverage."
