Abstract

A fruit press for citrus fruits may have a press head which carries out a press stroke and which may have two receiving dies arranged on both sides of a knife, and may be pivotable in opposite directions via parallel shafts between an upper receiving position and a lower pressing position for one half-fruit each. The fruit press may include two sliding guides for the half-fruits extending on both sides of the knife and following the outer orbital path of the receiving dies, and may further include punches which are associated with the press head and which, in the lower press position of the press head, cooperate with the receiving dies. The sliding guides may have flexurally elastic slideways which project into the effective region of the punches and which may be bent out into the receiving dies by the punches during the pressing stroke.
