The said invention (US12082734B1) was invented by Flavia Balcacer, and patented by USPTO on October 29^th, 2023. Currently, it stands assigned to the Individual.

This invention details an automatic lemon squeezer that eliminates the need for manual force by employing a motorized mechanism. The squeezer consists of a rectangular frame with a controller, a top tray with multiple paraboloid lemon receivers, and four lead screw actuators connected to motors that are controlled by the controller. A press support mounted on these actuators holds a rectangular pan with additional paraboloid shapes and a drain for juice collection. The pan is flanked by left and right spring systems, with a compressing tray positioned above the middle supports of these springs to uniformly apply pressure on the lemons when activated. A cover secures the frame, enhancing safety and stability during operation.

Designed to improve upon previous manual lemon squeezers by the same inventor, this automatic model provides a simple, compact, and lightweight solution for individuals who may find manual squeezing challenging. The automatic squeezer is activated with a single button, allowing multiple lemons to be squeezed efficiently without physical exertion. This makes the device user-friendly and accessible, especially for users with limited hand strength, fulfilling the need for an effortless, mechanized lemon-squeezing process.
