The slider 2 is arranged so that it slides on the lower surface of the mesh member 1 when the handle is rotated, so by rotating the handle, solid matter attached to the lower surface of the mesh member is removed and the mesh member is prevented from clogging. It has the effect of

The cutting section consists of a perforated plate 4 and a cutter 5.
FIG. 7 shows a plan view of the perforated plate 4, FIG. 8 shows a sectional view taken along line D--D in FIG. 7, and FIG. 9 shows an enlarged view of section E in FIG. On the surface of the perforated plate 4, there are formed a large number of holes large enough for fruit pulp to protrude, for example, holes of about 3 mm to 6 mm in diameter, and a hole through which the shaft of the handle 3 passes is formed in the center of the perforated plate. A protruding strip 41 is formed on the inner side of the cylindrical lower end of the peripheral edge of the perforated plate 4. The fitted cutter 5 is held by this protrusion. The cutter 5 is fitted by being fitted from below the perforated plate 4, and in this case, the perforated plate or the cutter is slightly deformed and fitted. For this purpose, if the perforated plate or cutter is made of plastic, such as elastic plastic such as nylon or polypropylene, it will be easier to fit.

In addition, a convex portion 42 is provided at the cylindrical lower portion of the peripheral edge of the perforated plate 4.
is provided and fits into a recess 12 provided on the bottom surface of the periphery of the mesh member. Further, a convex portion 43 is provided on the periphery of the perforated plate 4, and is fitted into a groove 61 provided inside the wringer body 6, so that the perforated plate 4 does not rotate even when the handle is turned.

A cutter 5 is arranged below the perforated plate 4. FIG. 10 shows a plan view of the cutter, and FIG. 11 shows a sectional view taken along the line FF in FIG. 10. The cutter 5 has blades on both edges, a hole in the center, and a screw embedded in the hole so that it can be fixed to the handle 3. Metal is used for the screw and the handle that engages with the screw, and is designed to withstand long-term use. Further, a rib is formed on the lower surface of the cutter 5. The rib makes the cutter 5 strong, and also makes it easy to attach and
