Abstract
A lid () of a juicer provides several important functions. It prevents juice from escaping, it diverts pulp efficiently toward a collector () or chute (), it cooperates with a locking bar to keep the device safe and closed and it provides a platform for the feed tube. The lid () comprises a polymeric cap () (for example a polycarbonate) to which is secured a metal, preferably stainless steel feed tube (). Importantly the combination of clear cap () and steel feed tube provides all of the advantages of both, that is, adequate strength in the feed tube and knife and the ability to see under the cap.
