Juice extractor

A juice extractor comprising:

• a food processing chamber including a food inlet, a juice outlet and a pulp outlet;
• a spindle extending through the food processing chamber for transporting food from the food inlet towards the pulp outlet and extracting juice from the food;
• a drivetrain for rotating the spindle, wherein the drivetrain is releasably coupled to the food processing chamber by a releasable coupling, and wherein the releasable coupling between the drivetrain and the food processing chamber comprises:
• a lever arrangement having a handle end and an actuator end;
• a pivot shaft between the handle end and the actuator end about which the lever arrangement is rotatable;
• and
• a locking member for locking and unlocking the drivetrain from the food processing chamber, wherein the locking member is controlled by the actuator end in response to rotation of the lever arrangement;
• the locking member comprising a locking wheel, wherein the locking wheel comprises a ring of notches adapted to receive projections at a mating part of the food processing chamber, wherein the rotation of the locking wheel moves the ring of notches into and out of alignment with the projections.
