Abstract
A fruit slicing and juicing machine includes a first roller mounted next to a second roller within a housing as well as a power train. The first roller has a curved blade and a pair of domes with a channel in between opposite the curved blade. The second roller has a pair of basins with a control ridge in between and a pair of curved control wedges opposite the basins. The rollers have parallel longitudinal axes. The power train is attached to the rollers and rotates them simultaneously in opposite directions. The domes fit into the basins when the rollers rotate. The machine slices fruit inserted over the rollers. Each half slides into a basin in the second roller. The domes of the first roller press juice out of the fruit halves as they rotate into the basins of the second roller.
