A mixing machine comprising a housing having an upper portion and a lower portion, an attachment drive head extending downwardly from the upper portion of the housing, an attachment drive including an attachment drive shaft, the shaft being capable of driving a detachable mixing attachment, an adjustable drive train linked to the attachment drive for driving the attachment drive shaft, a motor mounted in the housing for driving the drive train, a shift lever assembly including a shift lever wherein movement of the shift lever adjusts the length of the adjustable drive train and thereby changes the speed of the attachment drive, and a mechanism mounted on the housing to prevent the shift lever from vibrating out of position during a mixing operation and to prevent a change in speed of the mixing machine.

Mixing machine

A tension adjustment for a band saw having a band saw blade (30) encircling upper and lower band wheels (26, 28) disposed on opposite sides of the cutting table (12), with the lower band wheel (28) and the drive motor (66) being supported by a housing (50) which is pivotally mounted to the frame structure (10) of the band saw and which can be moved toward and away from the upper band wheel (26) by means of a threaded rod (84) extending between the frame (10) and the housing (50) so that the tension in the band saw blade can be adjusted by pivotal movement of the housing (50) supporting the lower band wheel (28).

Tension adjustment for a band saw

In a band saw (10) particularly adapted for cutting meat, blade scrapers (25, 26) remove debris from the band saw blade (18) and throw it laterally and forward of the blade (18) into an enclosure (40), which can be removed without the use of tools for cleaning and for disposing of the collected debris. The location of the blade scrapers (25, 26) is slaved to the location of the saw blade (18) to automatically maintain the proper relationship for most efficient debris removal without adjustment.

Removable scrap catcher enclosure for a band saw

The lid support member for the lid of a high speed food processing apparatus supports a mixing baffle blade through the center of the lid. The mixing baffle blade assembly carries a lid scraper which rotates with the mixing baffle blade in contact with the inner surface of the lid to remove foodstuffs from the inner surface of the lid. Friction from the lid scraper helps present the mixing baffle blade from freely rotating when its axis of rotation is not vertical.

Food processing apparatus

The center portion of the lid for a high speed food processing apparatus is flexible, preferably transparent and is supported by a rigid lid support member. The outer portion of the lid is stiff so that the center portion acts as a spring when compressed by the support member onto the edge of the bowl of the food processing apparatus.
