Abstract
A juice extractor for extracting juices from produce such as fruits and vegetables. The juice extractor has a base which includes a housing and a motor with a vertically aligned drive shaft. A blade basket detachably mounted on the base and rotated by the output shaft separates produce into pulp and juice, and a juice bowl surrounding the blade basket collects the juice. An interlock system keeps the motor from being turned on until the juice bowl is locked to the base and a cover is locked onto the juice bowl. Juice flows from the juice bowl through a spout to an appropriate container. A spray cap keeps juice from splashing as it pours through the spout.
