Description

Fruit or fruit press Priority: Sweden, 25 September 1968, no. 12 958/68 The invention relates to a fruit press, which consists of a press head, a There is a sieve device and a collecting vessel, the sieve device being a Contains hood-like, provided as a pressing chamber sieve surface, which for receiving a rotatable press head is provided. The press can be particularly beneficial for Citrus fruit presses can be used.

Previously known motorized citrus presses contain one of Rotating press hopper driven below, against which the cut citrus fruit pressed manually. The fruit juice squeezed out here runs through Sieve attached to the lower part of the press head into a Sarunel vessel below. However, this known construction has significant disadvantages, for example there is unwanted splashing of the hand with which the citrus fruit is held will, and a large part of the fruit juice will still be splashed if the Fruit is pressed against the cone, and eventually becomes due to the shape of the press head rubbed off a large part of the pulp and placed it on the sieve accumulated, thereby disrupting the flow of the fruit juice. Must continue some disassembly of the device was made before serving the juice will.

These disadvantages are the fruit proposed by the invention or fruit press essentially eliminated in that the sieve device is detachable is attached to the collecting vessel and consists of a first mainly flat, perforated Sieve surface as well as a second hanging down in the direction of clearing the collecting vessel, perforated screen surface, as well as that the drive shaft of the press head in a control in a cover that can be fixed over the sieve device and can be axially displaced is arranged.

According to an expedient embodiment of the device is the Lid attached to the collection vessel or the sieve device by means of a hinge.

The invention is illustrated below with reference to one in the drawing Embodiment explained in more detail.

Figure 1 shows a fruit or fruit press produced according to the invention and FIG. 2 shows the design of the press head.

1 with a collecting vessel is referred to, which as an ordinary feeder is formed with a handle 2 and a pouring spout 3. In the collecting vessel 1 is a screen 4 releasably attached, with a flange 5 protruding from the screen 4 to the upper limiting flange 6 of the collecting vessel 1 is applied. D ££; Sieve h is double-acting and has a first peripheral flat screen surface provided with perforations 7 8 as well as a central hanging second, provided with perforations 9 and in the vessel 1 protruding hood-like sieve surface 10. The last-mentioned sieve surface serves as a press chamber and for the storage of the pressed goods. On sieve 4 is also a cover 11 hingedly attached to a guide 12 for a drive shaft 13 for contains a pressing head 14, the shaft being axially displaceable in the guide 12 is mounted and the protruding from the cover 11 part of the shaft in a suitable Way to an appropriate drive device, for example a drive pin an electric whisk can be connected.

The press head 14 is conical and is opposite to conventional Crimping heads are essentially flat with the exception of a number of spiral-shaped ones Grooves 15 with rounded edges.

The operation of the device is as follows: The example Drive shaft 13 connected to an electric whisk is moved upwards lifted and swiveled to the side until the whisk sicn against a surface, for example a table top, is supported. The cover 11 is swiveled away at the same time and the sieve 4 is thereby made accessible. A cut up citrus fruit will placed in the lower sieve hood 10 with the shell side down. The whiskers with the cover 11 is now pivoted back into the closure layer and the rotating Press head 14 repeatedly brought into contact with the material to be pressed. This is where the juice is squeezed out of the pressed material and runs through the perforations 9 in the hood-like Sieve surface 10 and the perforations 7 in the flat sieve surface 8 in the collecting vessel 1. Due to the formation of the sieve, cores occurring during pressing will open up the upper flat screen surface and thus do not prevent it from being lowered of the press head to the hood-like screen surface 10.

Then the whisk is raised while so the drive shaft still rotates so that the press head does not suck on the fruit peel and then the whisk and the cover part are pivoted sideways. as Any remaining press material is removed from the press box with the help of a fork, for example removed, whereupon the pressing process described above can be repeated.

When serving the juice, all you have to do is lift off the foam stick; the rest of the parts of the device can then up to the purity of the vessel in their Remain in position.

The embodiment of the press head proposed according to the invention leads Compared to usual press heads with sharp ribs or below, too le advantage, 3-ass this does not tear the pressed meat out of the pressed material and can easily getting cleaned. This also causes a large accumulation of sausage meat the sieve surfaces and an undesirable cloudiness of the pressed juice is avoided. The grooves arranged on the press head according to the invention also give the possibility of that the squeezed juice rise upwards and also the squeezed kernels after it upper sieve surface.

Other embodiments are also within the scope of the following claims -I-Lich, for example, the lid 11 can be hinged on the collecting vessel instead of on the sieve be attached.
