Patent ID: 8261659

Claim:
A peeler cup for a fruit juice extraction device comprising: a rearward end and a forward end of the cup defined along a longitudinal axis; a base proximate the rearward end; a plurality of radially disposed spaced apart peeling blades extending from the base toward the forward end to define an interior space; a plurality of adjacent ones of the blades along opposed sides of the cup extending at least a first distance from the rearward end such that their respective distal ends define opposed side lateral arcs about the longitudinal axis; a plurality of adjacent ones of the blades above the opposed sides of the cup extending varying distances from the rearward end less than the first distance and decreasing in respective distances toward a top of the cup such that their respective distal ends define a top opening extending rearward between the opposed lateral arcs; and a plurality of adjacent ones of the blades below the opposed sides of the cup extending varying distances from the rearward end less than the first distance and decreasing in respective distances toward a bottom of the cup such that their respective distal ends define a bottom opening smaller than the top opening extending rearward between the opposed lateral arcs.
