ABSTRACT:
A juice extractor appliance for extracting juice from food articles, includes: a housing having an inlet feed tube for feeding food articles into the appliance, and an outlet for outletting juice extract from the food articles; a pusher rod for manually pushing the food articles through the inlet feed tube; and a cutter disc rotatable about a central disc axis and including a plurality of cutting edges projecting from one side of the disc facing the inlet feed tube for cutting the food articles into a pulp saturated with juice when the food article is pushed against the cutter disc by the pusher rod. The cutter disc includes, on the side thereof facing the inlet feed tube, a projecting pinching surface projecting outwardly of the cutting edges and located eccentrically with respect to the central disc axis such that when only a thin sliver of food article remains between the pusher rod and cutter disc, the projecting pinching surface presses the thin sliver against the pusher rod to effect a slight rotation of the thin sliver with respect to the cutter disc, and thereby to better assure the complete cutting up of the food article into pulp saturated with juice.
