A juicing apparatus is provided in which a single actuating element (2) drives a multiple number, such as three, of movable peeler cups (4), against their respective paired or matched fixed peeler cups (3), in a manner such to simultaneously provide for the extraction of juice from a number of fruit (19), one in each of the matched pairs of fixed and movable peeler cups (3, 4), said matched pairs of peeler cups being subjected to substantially the same force and reciprocating action as the other. Blades (38, 39) of the fixed and movable peeler cups (3, 4) engage the peel of the fruit (19) and provide for its removal. In certain embodiments, within each fixed peeler cup (3) is a filtering device (7) comprising a sharpened end (43) that meets the fruit (19), and a plurality of slits in the wall(s) of the filtering device for passage of juice compressed from the fruit.

What is claimed is: 1. A fruit juicer comprising: a. a plurality of fixed peeler cups attached to a chassis, each fixed peeler cup comprising a filter device having a fruit core receiving opening centrally disposed among a first plurality of outwardly extending blades; b. a plurality of movable peeler cups interconnected by a first movable member, each movable peeler cup comprising a second plurality of outwardly extending blades cooperatively intermeshing with the first plurality of outwardly extending blades and disposed along a respective horizontal axis for reciprocating horizontal movement toward and away from a respective one of the fixed peeler cups during alternating extraction and expulsion strokes; c. a second movable member connected to the first movable member for movement of the first and second moveable members concurrently in the same direction during respective extraction and expulsion strokes; c. a plurality of plungers connected to the second movable member, each plunger aligned with a respective one of the axes for reciprocating movement into and out of a respective filter device during respective expulsion and extraction strokes, the movement of the plungers into the respective filter devices effective to expel a fruit core from the respective filter device through the fruit core receiving opening during the expulsion stroke as the movable peeler cups move away from the fixed peeler cups; and e. a single actuator connected between the chassis and one of the movable members for energizing the reciprocating movement of all of the movable peeler cups and plungers. 2. The fruit juicer of claim 1, further comprising: a. a third moveable member; and b. a plurality of push rods interconnecting the third moveable member and the first moveable member. 3. The fruit juicer of claim 2, wherein the second moveable member is connected to the first moveable member by a plurality of pull rods interconnected there between. 4. The fruit juicer of claim 3, further comprising the pull rods being interconnected between respective distal ends of the first and second moveable members. 5. The fruit juicer of claim 2, wherein the third movable member is disposed on a side opposed the first movable member relative to the movable peeler cups. 6. The fruit juicer of claim 2, further comprising the actuator being connecting centrally to the third movable member with an equal number of the push rods being disposed on opposed sides of the actuator. 7. The fruit juicer of claim 1 wherein each filter device comprises a sharpened end disposed toward a chamber formed by a respective fixed peeler cup and movable peeler cup, and a plurality of slits along a wall section of the filtering device for passage of juice compressed from the fruit. 8. The fruit juicer of claim 1 wherein the plurality is three, and the actuator is connected to a middle of the first movable member along a first of the axes with a second and a third of the axes being spaced equidistant from the first of the axes. 9. A fruit juice extraction apparatus comprising: a. three fixed peeler cups attached to a chassis; b. three movable peeler cups corresponding to the three fixed peeler cups and forming three pairs of movable and fixed peeler cups placed in side by side arrangement; c. the movable peeler cups each being attached at one extremity of a single actuator providing advance and return motion directing the three movable peeler cups simultaneously toward and away from the respective three fixed peeler cups during a cycle of extraction of juice; d. the three movable peeler cups placed in parallel and being simultaneously driven by the actuator within an extraction module, the actuator linked in its mid position to a first movable member and linearly guided by lateral bearing supports which are pierced through by push rods slaved to this motion, and linked at its rear portion to a third movable member, that in turn, provides directed and simultaneous movement of the movable peeler cups against the fixed peeler cups; e. a feed actuation member permitting a fruit to fall into respective semi-hemispherical chambers formed by the joining of the respective pairs; f. three respective filtering devices cooperatively associated with the respective fixed peeler cups, the filtering devices each have a circular cutting point in their respective frontal openings; g. the filtering devices comprising respective radial slits; h. the third movable member being linked to the push rods; i. the third movable member in turn, is attached at its extremities to two parallel pull rods which are attached at their respective extremities to a second movable member, to which is solidly affixed three respective plungers. 10. A fruit juicer comprising: a plurality of fixed horizontal peeler cups affixed to a chassis member and extending into a fruit peeling area; a plurality of movable peeler cups attached to a first movable member within the fruit peeling area; a single actuating element disposed outside the peeling area and comprising a drive rod extending into the peeling area and attached to the first movable member for producing reciprocal horizontal linear motion of the movable peeler cups into engagement with the fixed peeler cups during an extraction stroke and away from the fixed peeler cups during an expulsion stroke; each of the peeler cups comprising a plurality of outwardly extending blades effective to slice a peel of a fruit disposed between respective fixed and movable peeler cups into a plurality of slices within the peeling area during the extraction stroke; a respective filter device attached to each fixed peeler cup and extending outside the fruit peeling area, each filter device comprising a fruit core receiving opening in communication with the respective fixed peeler cup and effective to receive a core of the fruit compressed between the respective fixed and movable peeler cups during the extraction stroke; a juice collecting element outside the fruit peeling area and in fluid communication with each filter device and effective to collect juice squeezed from the respective fruit core during the extraction stroke while avoiding contact between the juice and the peel slices; a plurality of plungers attached to a second movable member outside the peeling area, a respective plunger disposed within each filter device; a pull rod attached to each distal end of the second movable member outside the peeling area and jointly driven by the single actuating element for reciprocal linear horizontal movement of the plungers into the respective filter devices to expel the core of the fruit through the fruit core receiving opening and into the fruit peeling area during the expulsion stroke.
