Abstract

The invention relates to a citrus press, which is characterized by two screwed into each other, preferably cylindrical parts (a screw, a spout) with thread, an adjustable date mark, a lid and a bottom cover The screw-on takes the cut fruit. The spout (with internal dome shape) drilled when screwing the screw and spout into the pulp, thus squeezing the juice from the fruit The use of the citrus press is similar to the handling of a pepper mill. The citrus juicer can be stored with the fruit standing in the refrigerator and washed in the dishwasher (without fruit). The citrus juicer consists of a spout (2), an annular spout (7), a drip tray (8), an internal dome shape (9) an internal thread (10), pouring openings (16), an adjustable date marking (17), a lid (1), a screw-in part (3), a fruit receiving chamber (13), an external thread (12), water outlet openings (4), a chamber (14), a twist grip part (5) and a bottom cover (6) with hole (15).

CITRUS PRESS

The invention relates to a citrus press with the features of the preamble of claim 1.

Numerous publications cite juices of the generic type are known from the prior art. Examples are GB 2 417 884 A, FR 2 823 658 A1, DE 30 35 014 A1, DE 20 2008 016 359 U1, DE 19 85 069 U, GB 2 396 290 A, FR 733 979 A mentioned The aforementioned citrus juicers are designed in such a way that they are equipped with parts which can be screwed into one another and placed on a flat surface in an upright position. A disadvantage of all citrus juicers mentioned is that they have no date mark (in order to be able to check the storage life of the citrus press with the fruit in the refrigerator). There are citrus presses with dome-shaped constructions (manual or electric) are known, the halved citrus fruits by rotational movements of the dome shape or the citrus fruit even juicing them. Also, squeezing devices are known which juicer instead of the rotational movements only by high pressure on the halved fruit. As a rule, such citrus presses consist of several larger or smaller items that are to be cleaned after use - such presses would take up a large space in the refrigerator. For small amounts of juice such devices are rather unsuitable, since the effort in relation to the amount of juice is very large and a dropwise dosage is usually not possible. Furthermore, citrus juicers are known, which are better suited for small amounts of juice by either whole, halved or multiply divided citrus fruits by pressing them together by hand (citrus fruit in a silicone mold or in a small press), drill into it by means of a dome-shaped object with handle, screw in or pierce a pouring funnel into the fruit. Such devices require a more or less great effort and are partially not suitable for storage in the refrigerator.

The invention has for its object to produce small amounts of citrus juice (dropwise dosage), which can be given directly in drinks or food without causing cores get on food. Furthermore, the device should be storable with the fruit in the refrigerator and the information about the storage time (perishability of the citrus fruit) on the device be readable.

The object is achieved in that the citrus press has the features of claim 1.

The effect of the invention is: By screwing together of screw (this takes the cut fruit on) and pouring part (this has an inner dome shape on), drilled the inner dome shape in the pulp and pressed so the juice from the fruit Use of the citrus press is comparable to the handling of a pepper mill. A twist grip ensures a better power transmission. The fruit receiving chamber in the screw-in part is dimensioned so that more than 2/3 of the citrus fruit is in this place. The fruit must therefore only be cut (and not in half) - it can be juiced the entire fruit at once.

Small spouts ensure that nucleation remains in the press during the juicing process. An annular spout and a drip tray ensure that no citrus juice reaches the outside of the spout (below the drip tray). If, after use, the remaining pulp remains to be squeezed out (this can be seen by how far the screwed part is screwed into the spout - up to the impact on the handle), the citrus squeezer can stand upright (spout opening upwards) with the citrus fruit in the refrigerator until it reaches the end stored next use. A lid prevents dehydration. For the date marking (when the citrus press was used for the first time), an adjustable date ring is placed on the discharge side. In the screw-in part, below the fruit receiving chamber, there is another chamber in which a whole 1/4

Austrian Patent Office AT508 547B1 2011-02-15 citrus fruit - the fruit can be enclosed there by means of a bottom lid (with hole to remove). All parts can be cleaned in the dishwasher - prevent water outlet openings in the screw that accumulates water in the chamber during flushing. In the drawings, the subject invention is shown by way of example. Fig. 1 shows the cross-sectional view of the citrus press; Fig. 2 shows the overall view of the citrus press. Fig. 3 shows the spout part with the view from above. Fig. 4 shows the inside dome shape of the spout.
