Abstract
A motorized juice extractor has a cylindrical extruded main body with a base stand providing a reel for winding up and concealing part or all of the electric supply cable. The rotatable extracting cone has a surrounding body attachment substantially in the form of two mating semi-spherical bodies pressure fit together. In one embodiment, an upper lever arm has a cap mating over the rotatable cone for squeezing a product when juicing. This lever arm has a cam actuating a motor drive switch when the cap mates over the cone. This embodiment has a pulp filter centrifugally rotatable with the cone.
