A container comprises a body and a base. The body includes an open end and a closed end. The closed end is attached to the base. The closed end may be welded to the base. Cross-sectional perimeters of the body decreases from the closed end to the open end.

An accessory for use with a container of a food processing system includes a body positionable within a base of the food processing system, said body having a first side and a second side, an opening formed in said body, a member configurable with said opening to selectively seal said opening, said member being arranged at said second side of said body, a vacuum sealing assembly for sealing a chamber of the container, and a release mechanism operable to selectively fluidly couple said chamber to an ambient atmosphere.

A stirring body of the present invention includes housing rotatably mounted to a center of a bottom surface of a cooking container, and blade that extends from an outer peripheral surface of housing toward an inner peripheral surface of the cooking container and curves convexly toward a downstream side of a rotating direction in a plan view. Blade has front edge positioned on the downstream side in the rotating direction, and rear edge positioned on an upstream side in the rotating direction relative to front edge. A leading end portion of blade curves along the inner peripheral surface of the cooking container in the plan view and slopes upward toward the upstream side in the rotating direction. Front edge is positioned below rear edge near housing and is positioned above rear edge near leading end portion.

A blender including a container for processing food, a tool disposed inside the container, and rotatably driven by a shaft, and a mass balance element located outside the container for counterbalancing the tool.

A mixing apparatus includes a housing that includes a first end wall, a second end wall, and a top wall that at least partially define a cavity of the housing. The apparatus also includes a pair of rollers extending from the first end wall to the second end wall and coupled to the housing such that each roller is rotatable relative to the housing. The apparatus also includes a motor positioned in the cavity and enclosed within the housing, the motor operatively coupled to a first roller of the pair of rollers and configured to drive the first roller to rotate for rotating the container. The motor is operatively coupleable to a power source to drive the first roller of the pair of rollers.

Proposed is a vertically movable mixer including a container comprising a bottom portion in which a central through-hole is formed, a motor housing coupled to the container under the container, a motor built in the motor housing, a sliding member configured to reciprocally slidably move in a vertical direction through the central through-hole of the container, a rotatable shaft rotatably installed in the sliding member so as to be configured to reciprocally slidably move in the vertical direction in conjunction with the sliding member and axially mounted on a motor shaft of the motor so as to be configured to rotate by rotation of the motor, and a rotatable blade mounted on the rotatable shaft and configured to cut, grind, and mill food contained in the container while rotating and while reciprocally slidably moving in the vertical direction.

A blender system is shown and described herein. In one aspect, the blender system includes a base with an interior and an exterior formed by a housing. The housing may include an air inlet port and an exhaust port. The interior of the base includes a motor bore forming an air pathway connecting the air inlet port to the exhaust port. The motor bore also includes an entry aperture fluidly connecting the motor bore to the air inlet port. The entry aperture is indirectly in line with the air inlet port. The exit aperture fluidly connects the motor bore to the exhaust port, and the exit aperture is indirectly in line with the exhaust port.
