Abstract: A juicer attachment which can be latched onto a motor housing includes an upper cover and a lower cover attached to said upper cover to define a gear chamber. The drive for a rotary straining and juicing basket includes telescopically engaged upper and lower drive shafts with spaced heat dissipating bushings and speed reduction gears in the gear chamber. At least one spring biases at least one drive shaft upwardly to normally disengage at least two gears in the chamber so that the motor can be left running while the rotary parts of the juicer attachment remain stationary.

Abstract: A fruit and vegetable juicer having a cover, a filter sieve, a collection bowl, a collection bowl top orifice, and a feeding tube located within the cover, wherein the cover has a helical recess extending upward from and in pulp-extraction communication with the collection bowl periphery. The helical recess in the cover also has a beginning portion and an ending portion in communication with a pulp outlet. The pulp outlet extends from the ending portion of the helical recess to provide controlled exit of the pulp from the helical recess for collection. The feeding tube is located in the cover so as to not disrupt pulp extraction through the helical recess, whereby pulp is efficiently and automatically extracted from the filter sieve area while the juice is collected in the collecting bowl.
