A juice squeezer for citrus fruits including a base housing or receptacle, a fruit flesh strainer over the receptacle, a squeezer cone above the strainer, and a cleaning element overlying the strainer, the strainer and cleaning element having relative movement with respect to each other.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION What we claim is: 1.
A juice squeezer for squeezing citrus fruits, the squeezer comprising a generally conical squeezer member, a strainer beneath the squeezer member for retaining the flesh of the fruit squeezed out with the juice, a juice-collecting housing supporting the strainer, and a cleaning element overlying the strainer for clearing away the flesh of the fruit retained by the strainer from the immediate area of the squeezer member from which the juice is drained, the cleaning element being movable and all of the squeezer member, the strainer and the collecting housing are stationary.
2.
A juice squeezer as claimed in claim 1, and flesh-receiving means including an upright wall bounding a collecting space remote from said immediate area of the strainer to accept and retain such flesh diverted by the cleaning element from said immediate area.
3.
A juice squeezer as claimed in claim 2, and the upright blade portion of the elongate cleaning element engaging said immediate area of the strainer to scrape the flesh therefrom and having an upright face to push and guide the flesh out of said immediate area.
4.
A juice squeezer as claimed in claim 1, wherein the collecting housing has a guide means for the movable cleaning element.
5.
A juice squeezer as claimed in claim 1, wherein the cleaning element is movable and the strainer has a guide means for the movement of the cleaning element.
6.
A juice squeezer as claimed in claim 1, wherein a support carries the squeezer member spaced significantly above the strainer to define a free space between the squeezer member and the strainer, the cleaning element extending into said free space.
7.
A juice squeezer as claimed in claim 6, wherein said cleaning element is rotatable and the support defines a pivot bearning for said rotatable cleaning element.
8.
A juice squeezer as claimed in claim 7, wherein the cleaning element extends outwards from the support in an approximately spiral shape.
9.
A juice squeezer as claimed in claim 1, and a circular guide means stationary with the housing and on which the cleaning element is rotatably mounted
