Citrus fruit squeezer

DETAILED DESCRIPTION Therefore, an object of the present invention is to provide a squeezer by which juice can be completely squeezed from a citrus fruit, and substantially no juice remains in the flesh of the fruit.
According to the present invention, there is provided a squeezer comprising a deep-sided, dish-shaped reservoir, a hinged cover, an inverted cup-shaped pressing member, and a rotating means.
The reservoir has a cone-shaped fruit support member formed on a bottom thereof, upon which the fruit is placed for squeezing.
The fruit support member, and the bottom and an inner wall of the reservoir define a chamber in which juice squeezed from the fruit is contained.
The cover is hinged to a first peripheral portion of the reservoir, and a free end of the cover can come close to a second peripheral portion of the reservoir.
The pressing member is rotatably supported by the cover, and fits over and around the fruit support member when the free end of the cover is in a position close to the second peripheral portion of the reservoir.
The rotating means is provided for rotating the pressing member about the axis thereof.
