<p>A lid ( 12 ) of a juicer provides several important functions. It preventsjuice from escaping, it diverts pulp efficiently toward a collector ( 13 ) or chute ( 150 ), it cooperates with a locking bar to keep the device safe and closed and it provides a platform for the feed tube. The lid ( 12 ) comprises a polymeric cap ( 52 ) (for example a polycarbonate) to which is secured a metal, preferably stainless steel feed tube ( 51 ). Importantly the combination of clear cap ( 52 ) and steel feed tube provides all of the advantages of both, that is, adequate strength in the feed tube and knife and the ability to see under the cap.</p> |
