A lid () for a food processor, the food processor including a hollow body () providing an interior chamber () to receive product and within which the product is processed, the body () having a sidewall () with a rim portion () surrounding a body top opening (), the rim portion () having a lip (), the body () further including a spout () protruding from the side wall () adjacent the rim portion () and having a spout side opening (), the lid () including: a main part () to cooperate with the lip () to close the body top opening (); a top skirt () to extend into the interior () of the body () and sealingly interface with an inner surface of the sidewall () and the rim portion (); and a cover () moveably attached to the main part () and to cooperate with the spout () to close the spout side opening (); and the cover () having a side skirt to extend into the spout () and sealingly interface with an inner () and outer () surface of the spout side opening ().

Lid for a food processor

A food processor () with a food preparation vessel (), a base () housing a drive motor () and a spindle assembly () for detachable engagement with an accessory () for rotation in the preparation vessel (). The spindle assembly () has a gear assembly such that the accessory () is driven at a speed that differs from that of the drive motor ().

Food preparation devices, systems and accessories used therein

Blender

A container () within which a food product is to be processed. The container () includes: a hollow body () providing an interior chamber () to receive the product and within which the product is processed, the body () having a rim portion () surrounding a body top opening (); a removable lid () sealingly associated with the rim portion () to close the top opening (), the lid () having: a base () sealingly associated with the rim portion (), the base () having a base opening () providing access to the chamber () and a sealing surface () surrounding the base opening (), a removable valve assembly () located in the base opening () and sealingly associated with the base () to close the base opening (), the valve assembly () including: a main part () associated with the base () to removably secure the valve assembly () in the base opening (), a seal () mounted on the main part () and engaging the sealing surface (), an air opening () in the main part () providing for air flow from the chamber () to exterior of the container (), a valve () operatively associated with the air opening () to close the air opening () to at least inhibit air flow from exterior of the container () to said chamber () but permit air flow from the chamber () to the exterior, and wherein a cavity () is provided between the base () and main part (), leading to said seal (), with the cavity () including a first cavity portion () and a second cavity portion (), with the first cavity portion () being configured relative to the second cavity portion () to at least partly dissipate kinetic energy of liquid being propelled from the interior () into the cavity ().

A jug for a juicer has sealing features so that its contents may be isolated from the environment when it is not being filled or when used for pouring.

Juicer jug

A bowl assembly for a base driven appliance, the base driven appliance providing a primary drive coupling for the accessory assembly. The accessory assembly including: a bowl element that defines a reservoir; and a gear-box element having a secondary drive coupling and a secondary driven coupling. The bowl element defines a lower recess that removably receives the gear-box element, such that the primary drive coupling can engage the secondary driven coupling when the bowl assembly is supported by the base driven appliance. The secondary driven coupling is couplable to an accessory element that is operated within the reservoir, and such that the accessory element is operable by rotation of the primary drive coupling.

A cutting accessory for a food processor has a body that fits within the food processor's bowl and lid. The body supports a cutting disc that is offset to the food processor's spindle. The cutting disc is driven by the rotation of the spindle.

Spiral cutting accessory

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 jug and lid for a juicer includes a cylindrical upper portion having an upper rim, with the upper rim having a first opening for receiving a discharge spout, the first opening having a pouring spout, and the lid having a cylindrical body that fits within the upper portion. The body includes a pouring channel and a second opening alienable with the first opening. The body further has an exterior surface that carries a stepped circumferential seal that seals an interior of the jug when the first and second openings are not aligned, and the openings are alignable in a filling orientation upon rotation of the lid.

An accessory for a stick mixer comprises a coupling portion with an optional internal gearbox. In one embodiment, a leg assembly further comprises nested inner and outer legs. The inner leg carries a first array of openings and the outer leg carries a second array of openings. The inner and outer legs rotate relative to one another to produce third array of openings having variable sizes.

Lid for container

A bench mixer has a combined whisk and scraper attachment. In preferred embodiments, the mixer has a processor configured to access data indicative of a respective power limit to be applied to a motor for each of a plurality of user selectable speed settings and monitors motor speed to compare against a user selected speed setting. The processor increases the power applied to the motor, up to a respective power limit if the current speed is lower than the user selected speed setting.

Bench mixer

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.

Ice cream maker

A lid for a food processing device with a rotating blade within a vessel has an one-way valve for allowing air to escape the vessel.
