Abstract
A food processing appliance has a base and removable bowl with a cutter mechanism therein which is supported on and driven from a power unit in the base at selected speeds. The invention provides an improvement of a removable reducing transmission disposed directly in and removably coupled to form and close the bottom wall in the bowl and having a portion extending into the bowl for supporting the cutting mechanism. The transmission is disposed entirely external to the base and is driven from the base whereby the selected removable bowl can only be connected to the base for food processing when the transmission is coupled directly to the bowl.
