An electrically operated food processor for preparing a cooked product, which exhibits a basic unit, a vessel with an agitator that can be inserted into the basic unit, a cooking container that sits on the vessel, a heating device allocated to the vessel, a temperature sensor, a transceiver device for communicating with the temperature sensor, and an evaluator for evaluating the measurement data received from the temperature sensor. In order to provide an electric food processor with an alternative connection between the temperature sensor and evaluator, the temperature sensor can be a surface acoustic wave sensor (SAW sensor).

A food preparation jar has two rotary food processing tools; one at a bottom part of a vessel and one implemented by a lid. Each food processing tool is contained within the vessel which remains static in use. The lid replaces or combines with a main vessel lid to implement a second rotary food processing function, such as a juicing function, to supplement a main food processing function, such as a blending function, of the preparation jar, when mounted to a base unit of a kitchen appliance in an inverted orientation.

The invention relates to an electrically operated food processor (1) for preparing a cooked product, which exhibits a basic unit (14), a vessel (2) with an agitator (18) that can be inserted into the basic unit (14), a heating device (9) allocated to the vessel (2), a temperature sensor (5), a transceiver device (12) for communicating with the temperature sensor (5), and an evaluator (13) for evaluating the measurement data received from the temperature sensor (5). In order to provide an electric food processor (1) with an alternative connection between the temperature sensor (5) and evaluator (13), it is proposed that the temperature sensor (5) be a surface acoustic wave sensor (SAW sensor).

The invention relates to a pressing body for obtaining fruit juice and/or fruit pulp from citrus fruit, comprising a dome-shaped pressing surface comprising a top and a base, as well as ribs extending between the top and the base, wherein a cross section of the pressing body at right angles to the central axis of the pressing body has a substantially zigzag-shaped periphery, wherein each rib is provided with a flank which slopes steeply from the circumscribed circle of the periphery and a flank which slopes gradually from the circumscribed circle of the periphery, wherein the angle which is included between the circumscribed circle and the steeply sloping flank is greater than the angle included by the circumscribed circle and the gradually sloping flank, and wherein the steeply sloping flank and the gradually sloping flank of adjoining ribs along the periphery face each other.

Domestic food preparation apparatus has a supporting structure (10); a water inlet port for connection with a domestic water supply; a waste outlet port for connection with domestic water drainage; a fruit and/or vegetable aperture; at least one dispensing port (18); a waste; a blender (12) adapted through blending action to deliver a liquid fruit and/or vegetable product to the dispensing port (18) and/or a juice extractor (14)) adapted through extraction action to deliver product to the dispensing port (18) and peel, pith or the like to the waste inlet; and a cleaning system receiving water from the water inlet port and operable in continuous and/or intermittent mode to clean fruit or vegetable debris from the blender (12) or juice extractor (14) and deliver waste water and debris to the waste.

A fruit and vegetable juicer contains: a first holder, a second holder, a filtration mesh, a cutter assembly, and a cap. The second holder includes a drive shaft configured to connect with the cutter assembly so that the cutter assembly rotates at a high speed to cut fruits and vegetables which are fed from an inlet of the cap. The cutter assembly includes a first cutting disc and a second cutting disc. The first cutting disc has a toothed layer surrounding around a peripheral side thereof, a circular orifice defined on a central portion of the first cutting disc, and multiple spaced recesses. The second cutting disc has multiple central teeth, multiple toothed rows radially extending outward from the multiple central teeth, the toothed layer radially extending inward around a peripheral side of the second cutting disc, and the multiple spaced cutouts.

A beverage vending machine includes at least one outer casing with at least one magazine for accommodating agricultural products of fruit and vegetables. The machine is functionally associated with at least one device for centrifugal juicing of the agricultural products to obtain a centrifugally juiced fraction that can be utilized outside the casing. The centrifugal juicing device includes at least one element for the automatic pressing of at least one agricultural product to be subjected to centrifugal juicing against a rotating reference surface, affected by a component for automatically shredding the agricultural product supplied by the magazine for its optimum centrifugal juicing.

A device to disintegrate comestible articles, comprising: a containment vessel with a floor and generally tubular sidewalls projecting upwardly from the floor, the sidewalls having a central longitudinal axis, a power rotated agitator disposed within the containment vessel above and proximate to the floor, having a rotational axis, and operable to both agitate and disintegrate comestible articles placed within the containment vessel, a power source, configured to rotate the agitator, a support housing which encloses the power source which is structured to removably mount the containment vessel. The containment vessel is canted relative to the motor shaft. Output of the containment vessel is filtered. A resiliently closed opening into the containment is formed in the vessel lid. A food handling mechanism introduces comestible articles into the containment vessel. A support mechanism mounts vessels below a device outlet.

A blender includes a blender body including an external cylinder, a grinding blade, and a blade driving portion rotating the grinding blade; and an internal cylinder unit including an internal cylinder, disposed in the external cylinder, in which the grinding blade is disposed, and having an internal side surface, on which at least one projection is formed, and an internal cylinder driving portion rotating the internal cylinder, wherein the internal cylinder driving portion rotates the internal cylinder with an internal cylinder driving motor in a direction opposing a rotational direction of the grinding blade, and includes a blocking member preventing the internal cylinder from rotating in the same direction as the rotational direction of the grinding blade.
