A food press having an elongated body including a forward end to which a perforated cap or the like is removably attached and through which pressed foodstuffs pass, and a chamber means within the body adjacent the forward end of the press 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 the cap in its forward position. The press also has a rotatable handle pivotally connected to the elongated body rearwardly of the piston, and a linking member connected to the handle and to the piston. When the handle is rotated in one direction the piston is moved to it's retracted position to allow the chamber means to received foodstuffs. When the handle is rotated in the other direction the piston is moved to it's forward position for pressing foodstuffs through the perforations in the cap. The food press provides progressively increasing pressure ratios 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 The food press of the present invention includes the described food press of our co-pending application and provides ease of cleaning and ease of manufacture.
The food press of the present invention comprises a member removably secured to the food press which includes the perforations through which the food is pressed.
After use the removability of the member facilitates cleaning of foodstuffs from the press and specifically from in and about the perforations.
In addition, the food press of the present invention can include a number of removable members having a variety of different perforations or openings through which the foodstuffs can be pressed.
The food press of the present invention with its removable and interchangeable members, such as caps, provide consumers with choices in the sizes of pressed foodstuffs as each cap will offer alternate numbers of and sizes of openings or perforations and facilitates more complete ability to clean the interior parts of the device as removal of the cap will expose the forward portion of the piston when the piston is in its forward most position, as well as allow easier access to the interior of the perforated wall since the depth of this interior wall will be more easily accessed by a finger, brush or soapy water.
Furthermore, the present invention also can facilitate the manufacture of the food press by its removable member, such as a removable cap.
The piston preferably has very tight tolerances with the interior breadth of the body of the press to prevent "blow-back" of relatively solid foodstuffs and to prevent liquified foodstuffs from sliding backward between the piston and the interior diameter of the body instead of being forced only forward and out the perforations as desired.
This preferred tight tolerance suggests that at least the front portion of the body's interior breadth that the piston moves within has little or no draft angle.
This requirement increases the cost of manufacture of the body of the press in tooling and of body components
