The invention relates to an internal control method for a food processor appliance (A), comprising the following steps of: (E1) reception of a control data item (Cde) including a control command (IC); (E2) generation of a state data item (IE) by the control unit; (E3) transmission of the state data item (IE); (E4) reception of a confirmatory control command (ICC); (E5) triggering of the execution of a given task by at least one given functional element, corresponding to the control command (IC).

Method for controlling a culinary preparation apparatus

The invention relates to an interface and control unit () for a cooking appliance, comprising: a control circuit () comprising a connection point () for connecting to a power circuit () of the cooking appliance (A) or to an element for connection to said power circuit (), the control circuit being arranged so as to emit a control signal for at least one functional element of the cooking appliance; a communication circuit () arranged so as to communicate according to a known communication protocol, for example a protocol for two-way communication by radio waves, the communication circuit () also being able to exchange information with the control circuit (); and a support to which are attached, or in which are arranged, the control circuit () and the communication circuit (), the support comprising elements for fixing to a frame of the cooking appliance (A).

Interface and control set

Cooking appliance including a lid that closes, in a removable manner, a working container receiving a tool spun by a motor, the lid having a body equipped with a tube for adding food, arranged in an off-center manner on the lid, wherein the lid includes a locking ring that can move by spinning on said body, and the locking ring can be in a closed position in which locking components hold the lid in a closed position on the working container, and in an open position in which the lid can be lifted off of the working container.

Cooking appliance comprising a lid equipped with a tube for adding food

An electrical food preparation device including a drive mechanism () rotated by a motor and a working tool () including a bushing that removably engages on the drive mechanism, the drive mechanism including a section provided with at least one drive ramp that mates with a complementary drive ramp carried by said bushing in order to rotate said working tool, the drive ramp having an inclination designed such that the rotation of the drive mechanism in the direction of rotation of the motor generates a force on the bushing that tends to keep it engaged on the drive mechanism, the drive mechanism also including at least one retaining surface () that comes into contact with a stop carried by the working tool when the drive mechanism rotates in the reverse direction, the retaining surface and the stop having shapes that mate each other to prevent the bushing from rising back up along the drive mechanism when the motor stops suddenly, wherein the retaining surface is provided on a different part of the drive mechanism from the section supporting the drive ramp.

Electrical food preparation device comprising a working tool that removably engages on a drive mechanism

Handheld electric beater-mixer includes a body ( ) containing an electric drive motor ( ), two rotary coupling devices ( ) which are connected to the shaft ( ) of the motor and which are adapted to receive, via respectively two engagement passages ( ) opening from the body ( ), a whisk ( ) and, respectively, a mixer foot ( ), and a safety device ( ) adapted to prevent the simultaneous emplacement of the whisk and of the mixer foot. The safety device ( ) includes a movable mechanical member ( ) adapted to block selectively one or the other of the two passages ( ) for engagement of the whisk ( ) and of the mixer foot ( ).

Electric hand operated rotary beater/mixer comprising a safety device

Handheld electric beater-mixer includes a drive motor, two rotatable coupling devices associated with the motor and adapted to receive respectively a whisk and a mixer foot, and an electric switch actuated by a finger piece mounted rotatably on a rotational axle and occupying a stopped position and several switched positions for the continuous operation of the motor. A spiral spring is mounted concentrically to the rotational axle of the finger piece and has a free end and a fixed end connected to the finger piece, and a safety member is movably mounted between a rest position in the presence of the mixer foot and in which the free end of the spring rests against an abutment on the safety member so as continuously to stress the spring, and the retracted position in the presence of the whisk and in which the abutment of the safety member is removed so as continuously to relax the spring.

Hand held electrical mixing beater

Handheld electric beater-mixer including a body ( ) containing a drive motor ( ), a rotatable coupling device ( ) connected to the shaft of the motor and adapted for the securement and driving of a mixer foot ( ), which coupling device ( ) communicates with the outside through a coupling opening ( ), and a closure ( ) associated with this coupling opening ( ), wherein the closure ( ) is formed by at least two flaps ( ) movable between a closure position in which they are near each other, and an open position in which they are spaced from each other toward the interior of the body ( ), under the direct action of the mixer foot ( ) during engagement of this latter in the opening ( ), the flaps ( ) returning automatically to the closure position after withdrawal of the mixer foot ( ).

Hand operated electric whisk/mixer

A kitchen robot comprises a housing (,) containing a motor unit (,) whose output shaft (,) vertically projects from the housing and with an upper face (,) for receiving a first removable accessory (,) comprising a bowl (,) housing a rotating implement (,) integral with a vertical shaft (,) coaxially coupled with the motor shaft (,). The housing has a base (,) run through by a driving shaft (,) connected to the motor shaft (,) by a belt hoisting mechanism (,) designed for receiving a second removable accessory (,). The bowl (,) is mounted movable on a base plate (,) run through by the motor shaft (,) and which, before the bowl is fixed, is mounted flatly adjustable on the housing (,) so as to be coaxial with the motor shaft (,), and is fixed on the housing (,) after being adjusted.

Kitchen robot with two output connections for removable working accessories

A domestic mixer comprises a base (11) enclosing an electric motor (13) whose output shaft (15) projects from the base, as well as a bowl (18) adapted to be closed by a cover (20), mounted removably on the base (11) and having a rotatable tool (24) adapted to be coupled with the shaft (15) of the motor. The cover (20) and the upper edge (40) of the bowl (18) are interconnected by at least one bolt (44) secured to the cover (20) and connected, by a transmission member (46) actuable by the bolt, to a control member (48) movably mounted through the upper portion (16) of the base (11) between a working position to which it is brought when the cover (20) is locked by the bolt (44) and in which, under the action of the transmission member (46), it actuates a switch (50) adapted to permit the starting of the motor (13), and a rest position to which it is brought when the cover (20) is open and in which it does not actuate the switch (50), thereby to stop the motor (13).
