Abstract
A vertical juicer adapted to extract juice from a food including a bowl and a motor connected to the bowl. The vertical juicer also has a filter disposed in the bowl, an auger disposed in the filter, and a brush disposed between the bowl and the filter. A gear system includes a first gear disposed on the auger and a second gear disposed on the brush. Actuation of the auger by the motor causes the auger and first gear to rotate, and rotation of the first gear causes the second gear to rotate. Rotation of the second gear causes the brush to rotate around the filter and remove a food residue from the filter.
