Is a egg separator patented?

Short answer: specific designs of a egg separator have been patented many times, but "a egg separator" as a general idea is not what is protected. What matters is the exact combination of features in your version.

What our index shows
  • 10 US and WO patent publications since 2000 have a title matching “egg separatorseparating” or a close variant (our index of 9.7 million patent families; one publication per family).

What this means for your idea

Because patents cover specific combinations of features, the useful question is not “has a egg separator been patented?” but “has my combination of features been described before?” Kitchen gadgets are a crowded, mature field; novelty usually sits in one specific mechanism, the material, or how two familiar functions are combined.
