ABSTRACT:
A device for the in situ separation of the juice of a juicy fruit, such as a citrus fruit, from the rest of the fruit which includes a grasping mechanism for grasping the citrus fruit and a rotating mechanism for rotating the fruit. The device further includes a piercing member for piercing the fruit. The piercing member includes a mechanism for sweeping the internals of the fruit. In one embodiment, the piercing member has a body and a pivotable member which is pivotably connected to the body. The pivotable member is pivotable about a pivot point so as to move within the citrus fruit as the citrus fruit is rotated to thereby bring about the separation of the juice of the citrus fruit from the rest of the citrus fruit through centrifugal force. Finally, the device has a mechanism for pivoting the pivotable member about the pivot point. In another embodiment, the piercing member includes a blade which may be bent to sweep out the internals of the fruit.
