Manual Juice Squeezer

1. Design: A manual juice squeezer typically consists of two main parts: a bowl or cup-shaped receptacle to hold the fruit, and a lever or handle attached to a press mechanism.
   

1. Receptacle: The receptacle is usually concave or bowl-shaped, with ridges or grooves on the inside to help extract the juice. It may have a spout or a small opening for pouring the juice.

   
   

2. Press Mechanism: The press mechanism is connected to the handle or lever. It usually has a flat or rounded surface that is used to press down on the fruit when the handle is squeezed. The fruit is placed cut side down onto the press mechanism.

   
   

3. Operation: To use a manual juice squeezer, you need to cut the fruit in half and place it cut side down into the receptacle. Then, you squeeze the handle or lever, which presses the fruit against the press mechanism, extracting the juice. The juice flows out through the spout or opening into a container below.

   
   

4. Efficiency: Manual juice squeezers are designed to extract juice efficiently with minimal effort. The ridges or grooves on the inside of the receptacle help maximize juice extraction by separating the pulp and seeds from the juice.

   
   

5. Cleaning and Maintenance: Manual juice squeezers are generally easy to clean. They can be disassembled for thorough cleaning or washed by hand using soap and water. Some models may be dishwasher safe.

   
   

6. Variations: Manual juice squeezers come in various sizes and materials. They can be made of stainless steel, aluminum, or even plastic. Some models have a larger capacity for squeezing multiple fruits at once, while others are more compact for single fruit squeezing.
