Juicer arrangement

A juicer arrangement comprising a motor-driven appliance capable of extracting juice from fruit and a vessel for receiving the juice, the appliance having an outlet duct for the juice, said duct being tubular about an axis running there-along, the vessel having a lid or cover means pre-formed with an aperture dimensioned and configured to receive said tubular outlet duct, and the duct having an end portion with an internal wall extending chordally there-across;

• wherein the inner portion of the outlet duct comprises a fixed, substantially straight and hollow tube and said end portion comprises an outer collar that can rotate through at least a predetermined angle relative to the tube;
• wherein the fixed tube and the end portion are formed with co-operative components limiting and defining the angle through which the end portion of the duct may rotate relative to the fixed tube;
• wherein at least said end portion is rotatable about the axis of the duct to invert said wall for juice dispensing and to otherwise position said wall as an anti-dripping dam member to resist liquid flow;
• and
• wherein end stops are provided for the angular movement of the end portion ,whereby a user is provided with tactile confirmation that the end portion is properly located in one or other of its extreme angular positions relative to the fixed portion of the outlet tube, either for dispensing or to resist dripping.

A juicer arrangement comprising:

• a motor-driven appliance operable to extract juice from fruit;
• and
• a tubular outlet duct for draining the extracted juice from the appliance to a vessel for receiving the juice, the draining juice flowing along a juice flow path on an inner side of the outlet duct, the outlet duct projecting away from an outlet aperture in the appliance along an outlet axis, the outlet duct including
• an upper portion in fixed communication with the aperture of the appliance, and
• an end portion connectable with the upper portion and rotatable about the outlet axis with respect to the upper portion between a drip position and an anti-drip position, the end portion including an internal wall extending across the inner side of the end portion of the outlet duct and having an aperture, at least a portion of the aperture positioned in the juice flow path in the drip position and the aperture rotated away from the juice flow path in the anti-drip position, the internal wall operating as an anti-dripping dam member in the anti-drip position, the aperture open in both the drip and anti-drip positions so as to permit a fluid not in the juice flow path to flow through the aperture in the anti-drip position.
