Abstract: Apparatus for extracting juice from comestibles such as fruits and vegetables. The extractor has a base which includes a motor with a vertically oriented output shaft and a housing for the motor. A blade basket detachably mounted on and driven by the output shaft comminutes the comestibles and extracts their juice, and a juice bowl surrounding the blade basket collects the juice. A safety interlock keeps the motor from being turned on unless the juice bowl is locked to the base of the juice extractor and a blade basket isolating cover is locked to the juice bowl.
