Automatic juicer apparatus and method

An automatic juicer apparatus, comprising:

• a main body having a roller housing, an intake portion, a juice output portion, a remains output portion, a receiving portion, and a cover portion, the intake portion configured to maintain a half fruit to be juiced in a predetermined orientation, the receiving portion removably coupled with the intake portion of the main body, the receiving portion configured to orient the half fruit into the predetermined orientation for juicing, the cover portion removably disposed on the receiving portion and having a hole formed therethrough;
• a base on which the main body is removably disposed, the base configured to support the main body on a surface;
• a pusher adapted to position the half fruit to be juiced into the roller housing through the intake portion of the main body, the pusher received by the hole in the cover portion of the receiving portion.
• a motor disposed in the base;
• a roller disposed in the roller housing of main body and removably coupled to the motor, the roller configured to rotate and press the object in the predetermined orientation against the roller housing to generate juice and to advance remains of the object to the remains output portion;
• a juice tray disposed between the juice output portion of the main body and the base, the base supporting the juice tray, and the juice tray configured to receive the juice from the juice output portion of the roller housing;
• a coarse grate;
• and
• a fine grate, the coarse grate and the fine grate removably disposed between the juice output portion of the roller housing and the juice tray, the coarse grate disposed adjacent to the juice output portion of the roller housing and the fine grate disposed adjacent to the juice tray.

A method of juicing comprising:

• providing an automatic juicer apparatus including a main body having a roller housing, an intake portion, a juice output portion, and a remains output portion, the intake portion configured to maintain an object to be juiced in a predetermined orientation, a base on which the main body is removably disposed, the base configured to support the main body on a surface, a motor disposed in the base, a roller disposed in the roller housing of main body and removably coupled to the motor, the roller configured to rotate and press the object in the predetermined orientation against the roller housing to generate and advance juice to the juice output portion and to advance remains of the object to the remains output portion;
• cutting the object to be juiced to form a half object, the half object having an uncut surface and a cut surface;
• feeding the half object through the intake portion of the automatic juicer apparatus such the cut surface of the half object faces away from the roller and the uncut surface abuts the roller;
• rotating the roller, by the motor, to cause the half object to be pressed against the roller housing of the main body, whereby juice is generated from the half object, and to cause remains of the half object to be advanced to the remains output portion of the main body;
• and
• collecting, from the juice output portion, the juice generated from the half object, the juice flowing through the juice output portion of the roller housing to the juice tray.
