The annular surface having ridges on the outer surface that run from the base to the tip. The outer surface having trough-like recesses between the ridges with a cross-section substantially in the form of a circle.
1. A fruit press, comprising:
a centrally arranged element projecting upward from a base to a tip and having an outer surface for the pressing of fruit;
an annular surface surrounding said element base;
said element having ridges on said outer surface running from said base substantially to said tip;
trough-like recesses formed in said outer surface between said ridges; and
said trough-like recesses having a concave arcuate cross-section bowing inwardly between the corresponding ridges.
2. The fruit press according to claim 1 , including said centrally arranged element is formed substantially conical and projects upward from said base to a centrally located tip and said ridges run up to said tip.
3. The fruit press according to claim 1 , including said centrally arranged element is formed substantially hollow inside with an outer wall having said outer surface and includes a hollow central shaft extending through the substantially hollow inside of the element with an outer wall and an inner wall adapted to fit onto a drive shaft for the press.
4. The fruit press according to claim 3 , including said centrally arranged element has reinforcing walls formed between said hollow central shaft outer wall and said element outer wall.
5. The fruit press according to claim 4 , including said hollow central shaft is formed with an angular cross-section outer wall.
6. The fruit press according to claim 5 , including said reinforcing walls join said hollow central shaft outer wall substantially perpendicular.
