Abstract
A device for extracting juice from one of various plants (e.g., grass, soybeans, or wheat) comprises a motor, a hollow container, a spindle in the container and is rotatably coupled to the motor, a strainer surrounded a portion of the spindle and fastened in the container, a cap secured to the other end of the container and including a drum tapered toward the other end, and an adjustment mechanism including a hollow, cylindrical member fixedly coupled to the cap, and a manipulation assembly. The manipulation assembly can either advance into a mouth of the spindle for decreasing a size of a residue outlet formed by the manipulation assembly and the drum or withdraw from the mouth for increasing the size of the residue outlet. Also, juice concentration is adjusted in the sliding movement of the manipulation assembly.
