Abstract
A juicer arrangement comprises a motor-driven appliance (), capable of extracting juice from fruit, and a vessel () for receiving the juice. The appliance has a tubular outlet duct () through which juice can flow; the duct consisting of an inner portion () that is fixed to the appliance () and an outer portion () which can be rotated, relative to the inner portion (), about the longitudinal axis () of the tubular outlet duct (). Near the outlet end of the outer portion () of the outlet duct there is provided a chordally-extending internal wall (), configured such that, in one rotational position of the outer portion () of the duct relative to the inner portion (), the wall () is positioned to act as an anti-dripping dam member to resist liquid flow through the outlet duct (). In another rotational position of the outer portion () of the duct relative to the inner portion (), the wall () is inverted, leaving a gap through which juice can be dispensed. Preferably, the vessel () has a lid () pre-formed with an aperture () into which the outer portion () of the duct () can be inserted, and the outer portion () can be rotated relative to the inner portion () of the duct () whilst remaining inserted in the aperture ().
