2
comprises a sleeve
22
at the opposing end of an opening
21
, and is adapted to be sleeved on the axle
112
of the jar
1
, and secured by a screw
23
to the jar
1
. The inner side of the tray opposite to the opening
21
is underneath the arcuate hole
111
.
As shown in
FIG. 4
, when the juice maker is not in use, the tray
2
may be pivoted into the recess
12
of the jar
1
, and the tray
2
may be pivoted outwardly from the recess
12
to drain the juice in the jar
1
, as shown in
