Abstract

A juice press includes a lower handle with a cup that receives a food product to be juiced, such as half of a citrus fruit. The lower handle is rotatably coupled to an upper handle that is manipulatable between an open position and a closed position. A press pivot is rotatably coupled to the lower handle and to the upper handle and includes a press plate. A linkage is rotatably coupled between the upper handle and the press plate of the press pivot. Force applied to the upper handle is concentrated to a center of the press pivot and thus a center of the food product via the linkage and press plate to improve efficiency and effectiveness of juicing the food product.
