This separation basket 5
A cutter 6 is provided at the inner bottom of the cutter 6. The upper opening of the container 3 is covered with a container lid 9 having an input port 7 and a push rod 8. Also, inside the separation basket 5 is a filter 1 having a large number of slits.
1 is provided, and this filter 11 is provided with a handle 1.
2a and 12b are attached to be rotatable in the vertical direction as shown in FIG. The filter 11
are the engaging claws 13a, 13 provided on the handles 12a, 12b by folding the handles 12a, 12b toward the separation basket 5 side.
b can be fixed by inserting them into L-shaped notches 10a and 10b provided in the separating basket 5 as shown in FIG. 7 and rotating them.

The juicer having the above structure supplies the material onto the cutter 6 from the input port 7, presses the material against the cutter 6 using the push rod 8 to cut the material, and scatters the material around by centrifugal force. The material is thus cut and adhered to the inside of the filter 11 to form a layer 14, the waste is separated to the outside through the slits of the filter 11 by centrifugal force, and the dregs remain inside the filter 11. When discarding the dregs after squeezing the juice, take out the separation basket 5, rotate the filter 11, and insert the engaging claws 13a, 1 provided on the handles 12a, 12b from the notches 10a, 10b of the separation basket 5.
3b, raise the handles 12a and 12b, take out the filter 11 from the separating basket 5 by holding the handles 12a and 12b, and throw away the dregs inside the filter 11. The handles 12a and 12b not only function as handles when taking out the filter 11, but also function to cover the top surface of the filter 11 and hold the lees inside the filter 11 when the juice is being squeezed.

Problems to be Solved by the Invention However, in the conventional configuration described above, when discarding the lees after squeezing the juice, the separating basket 5 is removed from the container 3 and the notch 1 of the separating basket 5 is removed.
The filter 11 is used to remove the engaging claws 13a, 13b provided on the handles 12a, 12b from the handles 12a, 10b.
There was a problem in that this rotation work required a considerable amount of force. This is due to the following reasons.

In other words, the waste separated from the material 14 that has been cut and adhered to the inside of the filter 11 is
After passing through the slit 1, the lees exit through a gap 15 provided at the fitting part of the separating basket 5 and the filter 11, and the lees after this waste is removed forms a layer 14 and is centrifuged. Hardened by force, this layer 1
4 is strongly pressed against the side wall of the filter 11 by centrifugal force, pressing the filter 11 against the side wall of the separation basket 5, and furthermore, adhesive force is generated by the youth and dregs remaining between the filter 11 and the separation basket 5. It required a considerable amount of force to rotate the filter 11 and remove it from the separating basket 5, making it difficult to use.
