Abstract
A citrus fruit juicing attachment for an electrically-driven kitchen robot is described. The attachment of the invention comprises an extension piece for fitting on the motor drive shaft, a basket for mounting on the upper bowl of the kitchen robot which is provided at its edge with a projection adapted to operate a motor control switch and at least one cone which can be driven by the extension piece. The cone can only be mounted in the basket when the extension piece is not engaged therein. The need to remove basket and cone when changing cones, thus disenabling the machine, leads to an increase in safety.
