A food press, having an elongated body including a forward end with perforations through which pressed foodstuffs can pass, and chamber means adjacent said forward end for receiving and pressing foodstuffs. A reciprocating piston is slidably fitted within the chamber means for moving and pressing foodstuffs, wherein the piston is adapted to be positioned rearwardly of the foodstuffs in the chamber means in its retracted position and against said forward end for pressing the foodstuffs through the perforations in its forward position. The press also has a rotatable handle pivotally connected to the elongated body rearwardly of the piston, and linking means which are connected to the handle and to the piston. When the handle is rotated in one direction the piston is moved to its retracted position to allow the chamber means to receive foodstuffs. When the handle is rotated in the other direction the piston is moved to its forward position for pressing foodstuffs through the perforations. The food press provides progressively increasing mechanical advantage ratios and correspondingly progressively increasing pressure ratio through the linking of the non-constant increments of linear movement of the travel of the piston to the constant increments of arcuate travel of the handle. |

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF A PREFERRED EMBODIMENT Referring to the drawings and first to FIGS.
1 through 7, there is shown a hand holdable garlic press 10 of the present invention including a base 20, a piston 40 within the base 20, a handle 50 pivotally connected to the base 20 and a linking arm 60 connected to and between the piston 40 and the base 20.
The base 20 includes an elongated body 21 having a length which is substantially greater than its breadth.
The body 20 preferably is cylindrical or tubular and hollow, and includes chamber means 22 for the foodstuffs and for the piston 40.
In the illustrative embodiment, the body 21 has a hollow cylindrical cross section defined by the peripheral wall 32.
The one or forward end 23 of the body 21 is closed and is flat with a plurality of perforations or openings 24 therethrough for the passage of pressed foodstuffs.
The other or rear end 25 of the body 21 is open and to which the handle 50 is pivotably mounted thereto.
As shown in FIGS.
9 and 10, the end 25 includes opposing bores 26 therethrough, curvilinear wings 27 and small protrusions 28 for pivotably connecting the handle 50 to the body 21.
The structure of the end 25 allows the handle 50 to rotate and limits the rotation of the handle 50, as hereinafter described in more detail.
In addition to acting as stops for the handle 50, the protrusions 28 can be employed to stop the entire press 10 from sliding forward during use by overhanging the protrusions 28 about the edge of a typical counter-top or the like in a kitchen.
In the illustrative embodiment, the body 21 and the handle 50 are injection molded in acrylonitrile-butadiene-styrene (ABS) plastic material.
Adjacent the closed forward end 23 and within the body 21 is a crushing chamber 29 wherein the piston 40 presses, crushes, etc.
foodstuffs against the inner surface 30 of the closed forward end 23.
At the crushing chamber 29, the peripheral wall 32 is closed about the chamber 29 so that foodstuffs exit through the perforations 24 and through the wall 23
