Abstract
The present system provides an enclosure which engages a blender base via friction fit created by one or more engagement members, so that a rotation of the enclosure and blender base relative to one another secures the enclosure to the blender base with an audible or tactile confirmation. A centering pad is attached to the system. The centering pad prevents the enclosure from rotating and becoming unlocked from the blender base due to operation of a motor.
