Patent ID: 8234974

Claim:
A method for extracting juice from the pomegranate fruit husk comprising: a. cutting or slicing the pomegranate husk substantially at the mid-section to reveal several sections of arils within the fruit separated by membranes, b. providing an apparatus which contains a rigid vertical handle of approximate size to fit the human hand with a mid-shaft affixed thereto, the mid-shaft of sufficient length to allow the mid-shaft to project into the halved husk of the pomegranate while leaving the handle above and outside the halved husk, the mid-shaft having affixed to its bottom two or more outwardly and slightly downwardly projecting tines, each of which is formed with a permanent gradual curve and convex tip in conformance with the symmetry of the wall of the halved husk of the pomegranate, the tines spaced apart and with a width to approximately match the several sections of the halved husk, the tines further having a row of extrusion holes formed and bottom base surface cutting spikes projecting out along its length, c. aligning the tines with the several sections of arils of the halved pomegranate fruit as defined by the membranes, d. manually lowering the aligned tines down onto the corresponding sections of the halved husk of the pomegranate fruit between the membranes whereby the bottom base surface cutting spikes contact the arils contained within each corresponding section such that the arils burst causing juice to flow up through the extrusion holes while leaving solids beneath the tines, and e. removing the juice from the halved husk.
