HAND PRESS FOR VEGETABLES OR FRUITS

摘要

The hand-operated press for treating vegetables or fruit comprises two levers, which are connected by an articulated joint and in at least part of their length constitute handles. The material to be treated is forced through at least two holding chambers, one or more of which may be provided on one or each lever. Each holding chamber provided on one lever has associated with it a ram provided on the other lever. As the handles are forced toward each other, each ram enters the associated holding chamber and forces the material to be treated through openings in the bottom defining the holding chamber. The holding chambers are provided with different openings, which may be square or elongated so that the hand-operated press may be used to disintegrate the fruit or vegetables into disc-shaped or prismatic pieces as the fruit or vegetable is forced through the openings.
