A reamer (50) for a citrus juicer (10) is formed from a plurality of ribs (53) including an upper profile and a lower profile. The ribs may be knife like to maximize juice extraction. Fruit may be brought into contact with the reamer by an actuating arm (70). The actuating arm preferably includes a four part linkage with a major pivot arm (80) and a minor pivot arm (85). In a motorized version, a housing (20) supports the reamer (50) and contains a motor and gear box (29).

Why it's free to use
- Filed October 13, 2004 and granted August 21, 2012. A Canadian patent filed from October 1, 1989 lasts 20 years from filing, so its term ended October 13, 2024.
- A certificate of supplementary protection adds at most two years for a drug, so even that would have ended by October 13, 2026.
- We check Canadian rights only. A patent in its family in another country could still be in force: check its family on Google Patents.
