An attachment (60) for a spout (140) of a food processing apparatus (10), including a housing (70) with a liquid inlet (80), a front face (160), and a liquid outlet (100). The housing defines a posterior cavity (110) that removably receives the spout and position the liquid inlet next to the spout. The attachment also includes a drip-stop flap (150) which is attached to and covers the front face of the housing. The drip-stop flap reversibly pivots about a horizontal pivot axis between a closed position where the liquid outlet is blocked by a sealing element on the flap, and an open position where the liquid outlet is exposed.

A masticating juicer (10), including a housing (20) with a mastication chamber (30) and a food chute (40), the food chute defining a feeding chamber (50) positioned above the mastication chamber. The food processing apparatus further includes a food pusher (60) configured to be insertable into, and removable from, the feeding chamber. The food chute includes a flexible sealing member (80) that extends from the food chute into the feeding chamber. The flexible sealing member configured to engage the outer circumference of the food pusher when the food pusher is inside the feeding chamber, thereby preventing the back flow of food and juice through the food chute.

Apparatus, system and method for cold pressing juice from a food including a food delivery chute, a food grinder, and a pressing chamber which may removably fit together as a single, stand-alone unit.

A modular sieve (100) for a juicing apparatus is disclosed that comprises a first module (110) comprising a pattern of first protrusions (112) having first edge regions (113); and a second module (120) comprising a pattern of second protrusions (122) having second edge regions (123) for adjoining neighbouring first edge regions when the first module is engaged with the second module, wherein each first edge region and an adjoining second edge region delimit a plurality of apertures (150) for passing juice. A juicing apparatus including such a modular sieve is also disclosed.

A handheld citrus juicer includes first and second arms with respective inner and outer ends. The inner ends of the arms are pivotally connected such that the outer ends are manually movable relative to each other on an arc centered on a pivot axis. The arms include respective gripping portions adapted to be gripped by an associated user with one hand to squeeze the arms toward each other. The first arm includes a rotatable element connected thereto and selectively manually rotatable by the associated user about a rotational axis. The second arm includes a bowl connected thereto, the bowl aligned with the rotatable element when the first and second arms are moved toward each other. The rotatable element and the bowl are adapted to engage and extract juice from an associated cut-half of citrus fruit located between the rotatable element and the bowl. The rotatable element can be a reamer or a cup.

A garlic press includes a base with a first portion adjacent to a first end and an angled elevated portion adjacent to a second end. The first portion of the base is configured to rest on a surface. A handle is pivotally joined to the angled elevated portion of the base at a joint so that the handle may pivot between an open position and a closed position. The handle includes a presser block. The angled elevated portion of the base including a chamber defined by walls and a grate having a number of apertures. The chamber receives the presser block when the handle is in the closed position.
