Abstract

Claims (82)

1 . A juicer for a processing of a foodstuff to produce a pulp and a juice, said juicer comprising:

a motor base, said motor base having a motor,

a juicer bin with an open top, said juicer bin having:

an inner juicer bin wall; and

an outer juicer bin wall;

wherein said motor base is adapted to receive said juicer bin;

a sieve basket, said sieve basket having:

a sieve basket bottom; and

a sieve wall;

wherein said sieve basket is adapted to be coupled with said motor;

a juicer bin lid adapted to form a seal with said juicer bin, said juicer bin lid having:

a feeding tube;

an outer juicer bin lid wall extending peripherally around the juicer bin lid and adapted to form a seal with said outer juicer bin wall;

an inner juicer bin lid wall extending downward from the bottom of said juicer bin lid farther than the outer juicer bin lid wall; and

a pusher for pushing said foodstuff down said feeding tube during said processing;

wherein said outer juicer bin lid wall and said inner juicer bin lid wall are formed in the shape of concentric cylinders, whereby said inner juicer bin lid wall blocks said pulp produced during said processing from impacting said outer juicer bin lid wall during operation.

2 . The juicer according to claim 1 , wherein the area inside said inner juicer bin wall defines a juice collection chamber;

wherein the area inside said outer juicer bin wall and outside said inner juicer bin wall defines a pulp collection chamber;

wherein said inner juicer bin wall is adapted to surround said sieve basket.

3 . The juicer according to claim 1 , wherein said motor rotates said sieve basket when said sieve basket is coupled to said motor and said motor is operated;

wherein said rotation of said sieve basket creates a centrifugal force;

wherein said centrifugal force moves said juice produced during said processing through said sieve wall to said juice collection chamber;

wherein said centrifugal force moves said pulp produced during said processing to said pulp collection chamber.

4 . The juicer according to claim 1 , wherein said sieve wall is in a frustoconical shape with a sieve wall bottom end fitted around said sieve basket bottom; and

a sieve wall top end with a circumference larger than the circumference of said sieve basket bottom.

5 . The juicer according to claim 1 , wherein said inner juicer bin lid wall has a circumference larger than the circumference of said inner juicer bin wall;

wherein said inner juicer bin lid wall has a circumference smaller than the circumference of said outer juicer bin wall.

6 . The juicer according to claim 1 , wherein said pusher is fitted to the approximate size and shape of said feeding tube.

7 . The juicer according to claim 1 , said juicer bin further comprising a spout.

8 . The juicer according to claim 1 , wherein said sieve basket bottom is grated.

9 . The juicer according to claim 1 , said juicer bin further comprising a bail handle.

10 . The juicer according to claim 9 , wherein said bail handle locks said juicer bin lid onto said juicer bin by rotating from a first bail handle position to a second bail handle position.

11 . The juicer according to claim 10 , whereby moving said bail handle from said first bail handle position to said second bail handle position triggers a microswitch that actuates the motor for operation.

12 . The juicer according to claim 11 , wherein said first bail handle position being a horizontal bail handle position and said second bail handle position being a vertical bail handle position.

13 . The juicer according to claim 1 , said juicer further comprising:

a motor base adapter, said motor base adapter adapted to enable said motor base to receive said juicer bin.

14 . A juicer for a processing of a foodstuff to produce a pulp and a juice, said juicer comprising:

a motor base, said motor base having a motor;

a juicer bin with an open top, said juicer bin having:

a spout;

an inner juicer bin wall; and

an outer juicer bin wall;

wherein said motor base is adapted to receive said juicer bin;

wherein the area inside said inner juicer bin wall defines a juice collection chamber;

wherein the area inside said outer juicer bin wall and outside said inner juicer bin wall defines a pulp collection chamber;

a sieve basket, said sieve basket having:

a sieve basket bottom, said sieve basket bottom being grated; and

a sieve wall, said sieve wall being in a frustoconical shape with a sieve wall bottom end fitted around said sieve basket bottom and a sieve wall top end with a circumference larger than the circumference of said sieve bottom end;

wherein said sieve basket is adapted to be coupled with said motor;

wherein said inner juicer bin wall is adapted to surround said sieve basket;

wherein said motor rotates said sieve basket when said sieve basket is coupled to said motor and said motor is operated;

wherein said rotation of said sieve basket creates a centrifugal force;

wherein said centrifugal force moves said juice produced during said processing through said sieve wall to said juice collection chamber;

wherein said centrifugal force moves said pulp produced during said processing to said pulp collection chamber;

a juicer bin lid adapted to form a seal with said juicer bin, said juicer bin lid having:

a feeding tube;

an outer juicer bin lid wall extending peripherally around the juicer bin lid and adapted to form a seal with said outer juicer bin wall;

an inner juicer bin lid wall extending downward from the bottom of said juicer bin lid farther than the outer juicer bin lid wall; and

wherein said inner juicer bin lid wall has a circumference larger than the circumference of said inner juicer bin wall;

wherein said inner juicer bin lid wall has a circumference smaller than the circumference of said outer juicer bin wall; and

a pusher for pushing said foodstuff down said feeding tube during said processing;

wherein said pusher is fitted to the approximate size and shape of said feeding tube;

wherein said outer juicer bin lid wall and said inner juicer bin lid wall are formed in the shape of concentric cylinders, and whereby said inner juicer bin lid wall blocks said pulp produced during said processing from impacting said outer juicer bin lid wall during operation.

15 . The juicer according to claim 14 , said juicer further comprising a bail handle.

16 . The juicer according to claim 15 , wherein said bail handle locks said juicer bin lid onto said juicer bin by rotating from a first bail handle position to a second bail handle position;

whereby moving said bail handle from said first bail handle position to said second bail handle position triggers a microswitch that actuates the motor for operation.

17 . The juicer according to claim 14 , said juicer further comprising:

a juicer adapter base, said juicer adapter base adapted to enable said motor base to receive said juicer bin.

18 . A method of manufacturing a juicer for processing a foodstuff to produce a pulp and a juice and capable of blocking said pulp from interfering with said processing, the method comprising:

producing a motor base;

producing a juicer bin with an open top, said juicer bin having;

an inner juicer bin wall; and

an outer juicer bin wall;

adapting said motor base to receive said juicer bin;

producing a sieve basket with a grated sieve basket bottom;

producing a juicer bin lid sized to form a seal with said juicer bin, said juicer bin lid produced to have:

a feeding tube;

an outer juicer bin lid wall extending peripherally around the juicer bin lid and adapted to form a seal with said outer juicer bin wall;

an inner juicer bin lid wall extending downward from the bottom of said juicer bin lid farther than the outer juicer bin lid wall; and

wherein said outer juicer bin lid wall and said inner juicer bin lid wall are formed in the shape of concentric cylinders, whereby said inner juicer bin lid wall blocks said pulp produced during said processing from impacting said outer juicer bin lid wall during operation;

producing a pusher for pushing said foodstuff down said feeding tube; and

manufacturing said motor base, said juicer bin, said sieve basket, said juicer bin lid, and said pusher to be assembled together.
