HAND OPERATED JUICING SYSTEM AND METHODS

摘要

Embodiments related to hand operated apparatuses for extracting juice from food matter contained within juicer cartridges are described. In one embodiment, a juicer includes a hand operated transmission arranged to displace one or more pressing elements in order to compress a juicer cartridge disposed in a juicing chamber such that juice may be extracted. Another embodiment of a hand operated juicer is also described in which a juicer includes a liquid impermeable layer that at least partially surrounds food matter contained therein with at least a portion of the liquid impermeable layer surrounding the food matter being sized and shaped to be gripped by a user's hand and squeezed to apply pressure to the food matter. The hand operated juicer also includes an outlet formed in the liquid impermeable layer such that when the liquid impermeable layer is squeezed by a user extracted juice flows out of the outlet.
