Definitions

  • the invention relates to a single-use container for squeezing fruit having a bottom and an upper opening and defining a longitudinal axis.
  • the invention also relates to a process for preparing a fruit juice, a method of manufacturing a container according to the invention and a device for squeezing fruit.
  • a single-use container for squeezing fruit of the type indicated at the beginning characterized in that it comprises a squeezing chamber containing fruit prepared to be squeezed, a filtering surface with liquid exit holes and a lid with a support area, where the lid is apt to be displaced along the longitudinal axis of the container by an external force applied on the support area so that the volume of the squeezing chamber is reduced.
  • the container according to the invention allows the fruit to be squeezed in a clean way, since the residues generated by the process of obtaining the juice remain inside the container, which is for a single use and which, therefore , is replaced by another new container, also filled with fruit, to make a new squeeze.
  • practically no part of the machine is in contact with the corrosive environment, possibly with the exception of a rod that displaces the lid. Therefore, the squeezing machine is also very simplified from the maintenance point of view.
  • the basic idea of the invention consists of a container that contains inside the fruit to be squeezed and that is simultaneously the container container of the fruit for sale and distribution, the squeezed chamber for obtaining the juice, and the waste container (pulp, nuggets, skin, etc.).
  • the container allows to distribute the fruit already expressly prepared for its subsequent squeezing: it can be adequately cleaned, it can be peeled, pitted, chopped, it can be formed by combining different types of fruit in the same container to form mixed juices, etc.
  • the same container can serve as a glass from which the juice can be consumed.
  • it facilitates the obtaining of juices that normally cannot be made in a simple way in private homes or in public places such as bars, cafes or hotels.
  • the container according to the invention can be filled with a wide variety of fruits, such as grapes, peaches, pears, melon, plums, etc., as well as any mixture thereof.
  • the bottom has a conical outer surface, and advantageously the bottom additionally has an outer surface with lower anchoring means.
  • the conical bottom better resists the efforts to which the container will be subjected during the squeezing of the fruit.
  • the external anchoring means allow the container to be fixed to a support of the machine responsible for exerting the compression force by means of the appropriate rod.
  • the rod performs a turning movement while performing a movement in the direction of the longitudinal axis to compress the fruit, thus transmitting a pair of forces to the lid of the container that causes it to move through a helical movement.
  • the lower anchoring means also serve so that the container does not rotate around its longitudinal axis.
  • the lower anchoring means are radially arranged partitions that simultaneously act as reinforcing ribs. In this way, these partitions fulfill the double function of serving as lower anchoring means and further reinforcing the bottom of the container.
  • the container according to the invention is at least partially transparent. This allows to fulfill a double function, on the one hand of a technical type, in the sense that it allows an ocular inspection of its contents to detect possible problems, and on the other hand a function of a commercial type, since for the possible buyer it can be particularly attractive to see the fruit contained in the container.

  • a preferred embodiment of the invention is obtained when the filtering surface is in the lid.
  • the juice squeezed out through these holes and remains in the container, but above the lid. This allows the juice to be served through the upper opening of the container to a glass, and even allows the container itself to be used as a glass.
  • the liquid outlet holes arranged in the lid are elongated and curved, forming circumference arcs. This reduces the risk that the filter is obtained by the pulp and other waste of the medium squeezed fruit.
  • the lid has ribs on its inner face that reinforce it. These nerves can be radial and, eventually, of increasing height between a minimum value in the periphery of the lid (in order to reduce friction against the side walls of the container) to a maximum value in the center of the lid.
  • the lid may have partitions that extend circumferentially and serve to aid in the crushing of the fruit.
  • the filtering surface is in the opposite part of the upper opening and defines the lower part of the squeezing chamber.
