ABSTRACT:
One embodiment of the present invention comprises a pair of intermeshable fruit juice extraction peeler cups (100, 150) comprising respective blades (106, 156) that are arranged so as to intermesh to peel and extract juice from a fruit introduced into a space107there between during an extraction stroke. Considering one peeler cup (150), its blades' distal ends158collectively define a shape referred to as a Mendesaddle shape (160). The Mendesaddle shape (160) comprises a top opening (164) and a bottom opening (166) extending toward a rearward end (154) of the peeler cup (150). A fruit enters the space (107) through an open area (139) that comprises top opening (164) and a corresponding top opening (114) of the mated peeler cup (100). Also, considering the bottom openings (166, 116), a juice-extracted fruit core may drop through an open area (141) provided by these, wherein, nonetheless, the size of the open area (141) (and also of each of the bottom openings166and116) is effective to retain the whole fruit upon entry of the whole fruit into the space107.Various features of the invention provide for more reliability and fewer misfeeds of fruit.
