ABSTRACT:
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to a manual juicer. More particularly, the present invention relates to a juicer which is operated manually.
A conventional manual juicer often cuts a citrous fruit into two parts. However, the citrous peels will be crushed. The crushed citrous peels will release bitter and astringent juices.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
An object of the present invention is to provide a manual juicer which has a camber disk having a plurality of parallel camber grooves to grip citrous peels.
Another object of the present invention is to provide a manual juicer which has a camber disk and a strainer cup having a camber bottom to match the camber disk in order to prevent citrous peels from crushing.
Another object of the present invention is to provide a manual juicer which has a grip having a bottom corrugation portion to be held by a user without sliding.
Another object of the present invention is to provide a manual juicer which has a grip having a pedestal in order to stabilize a base container.
Another object of the present invention is to provide a manual juicer which has a handle having a saddle end to be held by a user without sliding.
Accordingly, a manual juicer comprises a base container, a grip connected to the base container, a strainer cup disposed in the base container, a pressure device disposed in the strainer cup, and a pressing handle connected to the pressing handle and the base container. The base container has an upper lug. A through hole is formed on the upper lug. The strainer cup has an upper flange, a plurality of strainer apertures and a plurality of radiated ribs disposed in a camber bottom of the strainer cup. The pressure device has an upper post, a circular hole, and a camber disk having a plurality of parallel camber grooves. The pressing handle has a saddle end, a pivot end, a through aperture formed on a front portion of the pressing handle, and a lower pillar matching the upper post. The pivot end of the pressing handle has a round hole. A shaft fastens the pressing handle and the pressure device together via the through aperture of the pressing handle and the circular hole of the pressure device. The pivot end of the pressing handle is inserted in the upper lug of the base container. A pivot pin fastens the upper lug of the base container and the pivot end of the pressing handle together via the through hole of the upper lug of the base container and the round hole of the pivot end of the pressing handle.
