Abstract:
1. A juicer comprising: a housing base having a space and at least one pivoting seat located inside said space; a motor mounted inside said space of said housing base and having a shell and a rotary shaft, said rotary shaft having two ends running respectively through a top side and a bottom side of said shell; a circular block having a peripheral sidewall and an axial hole, the block being mounted exteriorly of the shell on said rotary shaft for simultaneous rotation therewith; a linkage pivotally mounted on the bottom side of said shell of said motor for pivotal movement between a first position and a second position, said linkage having an arch-shaped braking piece corresponding to the sidewall of the circular block and engageable therewith while said linkage is located at the second position; a springy member having two ends connected respectively with said linkage and said shell of said motor for generating resilience that drives said linkage to pivot towards the second position; and an actuating member having a driving portion extending into said shell of said motor and pivotally mounted on said pivoting seat of said housing base for pivotal movement relatively to said shell, said driving portion engaging against said driven portion of said linkage to keep said linkage at the first position, whereby when said driving portion of said actuating member is forced to depart form said driven portion of said linkage, said linkage is driven by the resilience of said springy member to pivot towards the second position for braking said juicer.
