A kitchen device () including: abase () having a mechanism () that is operated using electrical power to cause processing of food; a vessel () removably mounted on the base () and including a bottom wall (), a side wall () extending upwardly from the bottom wall () to a rim () so as to provide a space () to receive the food to be processed, with the rim () surrounding an opening () to the space (); a lid () removably coupled to the rim () so as to at least partially close the opening (); and an interlock system () operatively associated with the mechanism () to permit the delivery of the electric power to the mechanism (), the system () including a first interlock circuit () and a second interlock circuit (), wherein delivery of the electric power to the mechanism () is permitted by the completion of the first interlock circuit () and activation of the second interlock circuit (), wherein the first interlock circuit () includes a first coupling () to complete the first circuit (), the first coupling () including a first portion () mounted to the lid () and a second portion () mounted to the vessel () adjacent the rim () so that the first portion () is located adjacent the second portion () when the lid () is coupled to the rim () thereby completing the first circuit (), and wherein the second interlock circuit () includes a second coupling () to activate the second interlock circuit (), the second coupling () including a first portion () that is part of the second interlock circuit () and mounted to the base (), the first portion () being operatively associated with a second portion () that is mounted to the vessel () and part of the first interlock circuit (), wherein completion of the first interlock circuit () causes operation of the second portion () of the second coupling (), thereby causing operation of the first portion () of the second coupling () to thus activate the second interlock circuit () and permit delivery of the electric power to the mechanism ().

Kitchen device

A safety system () for a kitchen device () having a vessel () and a lid (), the safety system () comprising: a processor (); a retaining arm () adapted to, in a retaining position, retain the lid () against the vessel (); a first sensor () adapted to communicate a retaining signal to the processor () when the retaining arm () is in the retaining position; and a second sensor () adapted to communicate a function signal to the processor (), the function signal indicating a function of the lid (), wherein the processor () is adapted to select an operating mode of the kitchen device () in response to the retaining signal and the function signal.

Safety system, a method for selecting an operating mode, and a lid for a kitchen device

A bench or stand mixer includes a bowl that contains ingredients, a motor that drives an accessory, for example a beater, to process the ingredients, and a sensor. The sensor provides a signal indicative of a change in the ingredients, with the sensor cooperating with a controller, for example a processor, to control the speed of the motor, in response to the change in condition of the ingredients.

A kitchen appliance for processing content is described. The kitchen appliance comprises a body portion, a removable accessory received by the body portion, the removable accessory being in contact with the content during processing thereof; and at least one sensor incorporated into the removable accessory. The kitchen appliance also comprises a wireless transmitter associated with the removable accessory, the transmitter receiving input from the at least one sensor and transmitting parameters associated with the input; and a controller in the body portion for controlling operation of the kitchen appliance based upon the parameters. The removable accessory is a food processing attachment that rotates with a mixing action.

Kitchen appliance for sensing food and beverage properties

A food processor is provided with a wide feed tube. The food processor has a pusher that cooperates with a safety mechanism. The safety mechanism comprises a linkage assembly that prevents the food processor's motor from operating unless the pusher is inserted into the feed tube.

Food processor with safety mechanism

A food processor apparatus. The apparatus may include: a base having a motor; a processing bowl that is releasably couplable to the base; a lid for the processing bowl having a feed tube. A pusher device, having a body and a safety rail that extends from the body, cooperates with the feed tube. A longitudinal slot, is located about the feed tube, and has a pilot opening that is located about the top of the longitudinal slot for receiving the safety rail. A linkage assembly is located about the longitudinal slot. The safety rail engages the linkage assembly when the safety rail is at least partially inserted into the longitudinal slot. A majority of the longitudinal slot, as located below the pilot opening, has a full width of the longitudinal slot directly exposed to an interior of the feed tube.

A motorized kitchen apparatus including a processor module coupled to a non-volatile storage medium for storing a custom sequence; a user interface having a speed or power selection element and a record selector; a motor controller coupled to a blender motor, the processor module coupled to the motor controller for controlling operation of the motor according to user input selections. Upon user selection of the record selector, the processor module enters a record mode and records a sequence of user inputs made through the user interface; the sequence including data indicative of a power profile selected by the user over a period of time, and upon completion of the record mode, the processor module saves a custom sequence indicative of the recorded sequence to the non-volatile storage medium for subsequent playback.

Blender for food and beverages

An apparatus for making a frozen dessert. The apparatus including a reservoir located within a chassis for receiving a liquid dessert mixture and a rotatable paddle located within the reservoir. The paddle can have a body coupled to at least one respective scraper element by a living hinge, such that the scraper element has a scraping edge that is radially-outward biased by the living hinge for abuttingly engaging a wall of the reservoir. The reservoir and the axis of rotation can be substantially horizontally directed, with a substantially vertically-orientated lid closing an opening of the reservoir, the lid defining an aperture for receiving the mixture or enabling egress of the frozen dessert.

Food processor

A sandwich press and grill apparatus. The apparatus comprising a lower housing and an upper housing, each hingedly interconnected. The lower housing is adapted to releasably engage a lower cooking plate, the lower housing including a first temperature sensor adapted to be in thermal communication with the lower cooking plate when engaged. The upper housing is adapted to releasably engage the upper cooking plate, the upper housing including a second temperature sensor adapted to be in thermal communication with the upper cooking plate when engaged. The lower housing has a first releasable power coupling element for providing electrical power to a lower heating element integrally formed with the lower cooking plate, and the upper housing has a second releasable power coupling element for providing electrical power to an upper heating element integrally formed with the upper cooking plate. A temperature controller adapted to receive at least one temperature set point signal and to independently control the temperature of the lower cooking plate and the upper cooking plate.

Sandwich press and grill apparatus

The present technology enables data communication between a kettle body and a power base of a cordless kettle. This enables a user to view kettle data and control functions or parameters such as temperature, from the power base of a cordless kettle.
