摘要

A combination grating and juicing apparatus comprising a bowl-shaped combination grater and juicer, a receptacle for containing grated and juiced food products, and a pressure applicator. The concave surface is a grater with a plurality of cutting edges, and the convex surface is a juicer with a plurality of ridges. The combination grater and juicer fits onto the receptacle in two positions: a grating position in which the grating surface is accessible, and a juicing position in which the juicing surface is accessible. Apertures in the combination grater and juicer allow for grated and juiced food products to pass through the grater and juicer and into the receptacle. The pressure application is used for grating, and fits onto the combination juicer and grater, where it may be rotated to apply pressure to food products so as to grate them against the cutting edges of the grating surface.

1. An apparatus for grating a first food product and juicing a second food product, comprising:
a bowl-shaped grating and juicing member defining an opposing concave grating surface and convex juicing surface, the member having a plurality of apertures; said concave grating surface being radially symmetrical about a vertical axis such that any two points on the concave grating surface intersecting with any one plane transverse to said vertical axis are at a constant radial distance from said vertical axis; said concave grating surface being configured with a plurality of cutting edges to grate a first food product; said convex juicing surface being configured with a plurality of ridges to juice a second food product; and wherein the plurality of apertures are sized and configured to allow a grated first food product to pass through the apertures when the bowl-shaped member is traversed to a grating position, and to allow a juiced second food product to pass through the apertures when the bowl-shaped member is traversed to a juicing position.
