Juice extractor comprising a rotary body having a rotary shaft supported therein in such a manner that the shaft can be rotated and axially moved, and a cover adapted to be screwed to a juice extractor body, the shaft being rotatable with the cover screwed to the juice extractor body, the shaft and cover being combined and rotated together when the latter is loosened, the rotary body being able to be drawn out easily from the juice extractor body.

Juice extractor

A juice extractor device comprises a juice extractor body having a horizontally disposed slightly conical internal bore and a rotary body mounted in said bore. The juice extractor body includes a material inlet port on the upper side of the base end of the extractor body, a juice discharge port along the lower side of the extractor body, and a residuum discharge port on the upper side of the outer end of the body, and each port communicates with the bore. The juice discharge port includes a filter whose inner surface has a curvature equal to that of the bore surface. The rotary body is disposed adjacent all the ports and comprises an outer circumferential surface which has a spiral compressing portion confronting the two discharge ports and a spiral blade confronting the inlet port. The spiral compressing portion comprises a spiral wing and a valley therealong. The spiral blade, which is continuous with the spiral wing, also comprises a valley therealong. The gap between the valley of the spiral compressing portion and the surfaces of the bore and the filter is not more than 6 mm along a major portion of the spiral compressing portion. The gap between the spiral wing and the aforementioned surfaces is not more than 2 mm. These gaps each decrease in size in the direction preceding from the material inlet port toward the residuum discharge port.

Juice extractor device

Apparatus for separating the juice and pulp of fruit or vegetable material comprises a base incorporating a drive mechanism, a case attached to the base and having a conical bore with the axis thereof extending horizontally between end walls of the case, a rotary member rotatably mounted in the case and driven by the drive member, the rotary member comprising a cutting blade portion and a pressing portion. The case is provided on its upper side near the wide end of the bore with a material inlet opening, on its lower side with a liquid outlet opening having a filter therein, and on a lateral side near the narrow end of the bore with a residual solids outlet opening. The cutting blade portion is spiral and has portion disposed near and confronting the material inlet opening. The pressing portion is conical (but oppositely disposed to the conical bore) and has portions disposed near and confronting both the liquid outlet opening and the residual solids discharge opening.
