Abstract
The invention is directed to a safety device for a jug blender that has a blender jug ( ) adapted for seating engagement with a base ( ) equipped with a drive motor. The safety device includes two vertically movable actuating pins ( ) arranged in spaced relation to each other and projecting upwardly through the wall of the base ( ), and the blender jug ( ) has actuating points ( ) cooperating therewith which, with the blender jug ( ) properly assembled, urge the two actuating pins ( ) simultaneously and evenly horizontally in downward direction in order to thus close the circuit supplying the drive motor. Any improper handling or activation of the motor with the blender jug ( ) not properly positioned is avoided by connecting actuating members with the actuating pins ( ) in the base ( ) in such manner that a safety switch does not close unless the pins ( ) are urged down evenly and at the same time horizontally.
