The subject application is directed to a food processing device to extract juice. The device includes an inlet coupled to a disintegrator. The inlet is configured to accept food items and the disintegrator configured to disintegrate food items passed through the inlet. The device further includes a separator that accepts the disintegrated food items and separates out the liquid components from the food item. The device further includes a reservoir that is coupled to the separator for accepting and holding the liquid components. The reservoir includes a translucent member for viewing of liquid levels within the reservoir, and a valved outlet. The valved outlet is configured to allow or prevent the flow of liquid from the reservoir through the valved outlet.

The invention provides a citrus juicer (100) comprising: an enclosure (20) defining a cavity (24) for produce for pressing (10) containing a fluid, and an opening for introducing the produce for pressing into the cavity; a cannula (50) for engaging in the produce for pressing, a second portion (54) arranged outside the cavity, and a through opening (58) extending between the first and second portions; an inflatable extensible membrane (80) for compressing the produce for pressing engaged on the first end of the cannula in order to extract the fluid out from the cavity; and an ejector device for discharging the pressed produce.

A fruit press has shafts which are mounted in a frame for two pressing rollers, which can be driven in opposite directions, and for two ram heads, which are provided below the pressing rollers and form pressing rams that interact with pressing recesses of the pressing rollers. The fruit press has a blade, which is displaceable in a blade guide between the pressing rollers. The pressing rollers and the ram heads, which can be removed from their respective shafts, are held between a rear wall and a front mount of a handling unit detachably fastened to the frame. To achieve advantageous design conditions, the pressing rollers and the ram heads, which are supported axially on the front mount, are detachably held between bearing projections of the rear wall and receptacles in the region of the front mount.

Appliances useful in extracting a liquid from plant material in the preparation beverages and other food products in the home. An appliance may be embodied in the form of a food processing apparatus having a lid with an entry space formed therein, a rotatable element, and one or more food material contacting surfaces surrounding the rotatable element and disposed below the entry space of the lid. The rotatable element and the one or more food material contacting surfaces are each configured and mutually spatially arranged such that in use a food material disposed about the rotatable element is forced against the one or more food material contacting surfaces. Accordingly, the food material is deformed or divided and is caused or allowed to clear the one or more food material contacting surfaces.

A smart juicer system includes: a juicer configured to make green vegetable juice by extracting juice from input ingredients, and generate juice extraction information including at least one of time information about the juice extraction, identification information about the input ingredients subjected to the juice extraction, a recipe based on the juice extraction, or making conditions of the juice extraction; and a terminal processor including a user interface for receiving an input about whether a user drinks green vegetable juice, a communication module for data communication with the juicer, and a terminal processor configured to generate information about the user's intake history of green vegetable juice based on the intake information and the juice extraction information obtained from the juicer through the communication module.

A lock member includes a housing, a movement body, and an elastic member. The housing includes an open groove at an inner wall of the housing. A bottom of the open groove is provided with a movement surface. An end of the movement surface proximal to an opening of the open groove is a locking end, and an end of the movement surface distal to the opening of the open groove is an unlocking end. The movement body is provided in the open groove and moveable along the movement surface. The elastic member is provided in the open groove and configured to maintain the movement body at the locking end or the unlocking end of the movement surface.
