<p>The invention relates to a motor-driven domestic appliance (1) capable of extracting the juice from fruits, typically citrus fruits, and delivering the juice into a vessel (4) positioned adjacent the main body of the appliance. In order to promote clean transfer of the juice into the vessel, and/or resist a tendency for the vessel to be moved away from the main body by reactive forces associated with start-up of the motor, the appliance is provided with a resiliently-loaded outlet duct (3) for the juice which engages with an opening (11) in a lid or cover (9) of the vessel. Preferably, the outlet duct comprises a substantially straight and hollow tube (5) supporting an outer collar (6) that is spring-loaded for outward axial motion relative to the tube; the collar and/or the tube being formed with retention means to prevent unwanted disengagement of the collar from the tube.</p> |
