Proposed is a blender in which when the closure of a container lid of a container body is detected, a main body operates. In the blender, when the closure of the container lid of the container body is detected, current is transmitted from a first conductor set of the main body to a second conductor set of the container body, and when the current transmitted through the second conductor set is detected, the main body recognizes the closure of the container lid of the container body and operates.

The present invention relates to a blender. The blender includes: a body provided with a motor assembly; a container which is detachably mounted to the body and in which food is accommodated; a blade module provided inside the container and connected to the motor assembly to rotate when the container is mounted; a detection member provided in the container; and a detection device provided on one side of the body corresponding to the detection member and detecting the detection member when the container is mounted.

Proposed is a blender in which multiple blades have different bending or twisting angles. The blender includes a container body in which food is received, a main body provided under the container body and configured to support the container body, a container lid mounted detachably to the upper surface of the container body and configured to open and close the upper surface of the container body, and a blade assembly which crushes food contained in the container body by blades. The blade assembly includes a main blade unit having multiple main blades, and an auxiliary blade unit having an auxiliary blade located between the multiple main blades, wherein the multiple main blades have bending or twisting angles different from each other. In such a blender, the cutting efficiency of food materials is improved and noise is decreased.

Proposed is a blender in which an inclined surface is formed on the leading or rear edge portion of a blade. The blender includes a container body in which food is received, a main body provided under the container body and configured to support the container body, a container lid mounted detachably to an upper surface of the container body and configured to open and close the upper surface of the container body, and a blade assembly which crushes food contained in the container body by a blade unit, wherein an inclined surface is formed on each of leading and rear edge portions of the blade unit constituting the blade assembly such that the inclined surface has thickness decreasing gradually toward an end thereof. In such a blender, the cutting ability of materials by the blade unit is increased and noise thereof is decreased.

A blender system includes a container having a rotatable blade assembly therein, a lid covering an open end of the container, and a base with a motorized unit. When the container is coupled with the base, the motorized unit is adapted to drive rotation of the rotatable blade assembly. The lid includes a hinged actuator lever adapted to actuate the motorized unit. A detent extends from the hinged actuator lever and passes through a series of apertures and presses against a slidable actuator shaft disposed in the container and maintained in its position by a spring force, thereby depressing a switch for the motorized unit. A rotatable blade system includes cutting blade(s) and crushing blade(s). The crushing blade extends longitudinally outwardly from a hub. When the hub rotates in a first direction or second direction opposite the first direction, a face of the crushing blade is leading or trailing, respectively.

A lid (116) for a food processor, the food processor including a hollow body (102) providing an interior chamber (103) to receive product and within which the product is processed, the body (102) having a sidewall (112) with a rim portion (108) surrounding a body top opening (114), the rim portion (108) having a lip (109), the body (102) further including a spout (110) protruding from the side wall (112) adjacent the rim portion (108) and having a spout side opening (117), the lid (116) including: a main part (118) to cooperate with the lip (109) to close the body top opening (114); a top skirt (120) to extend into the interior (103) of the body (102) and sealingly interface with an inner surface of the sidewall (112) and the rim portion (108); and a cover (200) moveably attached to the main part (118) and to cooperate with the spout (110) to close the spout side opening (117); and the cover (200) having a side skirt to extend into the spout (110) and sealingly interface with an inner (240) and outer (241) surface of the spout side opening (117).

An attachment for use with a food processing system is provided. The attachment includes a container body having a sidewall, a first end configured to be mounted to a food processing base, and a second end remote from the first end. The first end being open and the second end being partially closed. The attachment further includes a first agitating member including one or more blades. The first agitating member is receivable at the first end. The attachment also includes a second agitating member receivable at the second end including a fluid agitator. The fluid agitator is configured to direct a fluid to one or more regions of the container body.

Proposed is a blender, in which a main body operates when a closure of a container lid on a container body is detected. In the blender according to the present disclosure, when the closure of the container lid is detected, a voltage is transferred from a first inductive coil of the main body to a second inductive coil of the container body. By using the voltage transferred to the second inductive coil, a light emitting unit of the container body transmits a light signal to a light receiving unit of the main body, and the light signal has a predetermined signal pattern. When the light receiving unit receives the light signal of the signal pattern, the main body recognizes the closure of the container lid on the container body such that the main body operates.

A scraping and tamping device for an appliance. The scraping and tamping device may tamp and/or scrap contents within the appliance. The scraping and tamping device may include a tamper and/or scraper. The scraping and tamping device may include a releasable engagement between one or more portions thereof. A retention device may be used to releasably engage the scraper between a stowed position and a deployed position. The scraping and tamping device may include a blender.

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.
