A blending appliance includes a housing with a jar receiving area defined between an upper housing and a support base. A blender jar includes a base portion and a receptacle portion, and is configured to be laterally received within the jar receiving area of the housing. A magnetic coupling system includes an upper magnetic coupler disposed in the base portion of the blender jar and a lower magnetic coupler disposed in the support base of the housing. The upper and lower magnetic couplers are magnetically coupled to one another for driving a blade assembly disposed in the receptacle portion of the blender jar. A brake mechanism is disposed on the upper magnetic coupler and is configured to stop rotation of the upper magnetic coupler when the blender jar is removed from the jar receiving area.

Provide a cooking device capable of processing food with a simple configuration while inhibiting oxidation of food and also inhibiting pressure inside a cooking container from rising excessively.

A cooking device processes food in an accommodation space by a processing tool rotated by a motor while an air in the accommodation space in which the processing tool to process the food is arranged is exhausted and includes a driving device (a closing member) and a check valve. The driving device opens/closes the accommodation space. The check valve allows an outflow of the air out of the accommodation space when the air in the accommodation space closed by the driving device is exhausted and also stops an opposite flow of the air after the air is exhausted.

A system for attaching a blender container to a blade assembly, which comprises a first mechanism to secure a blender container to a blade assembly. Some embodiments of the system include a second latch mechanism to lock the blender container to the blade assembly while the container and blade assembly are mounted to a base for operation of the blender.

A blender for processing comestible matter includes a base with a motor, a blade assembly, and a container. The blender further comprises a first safety mechanism and a second safety mechanism. The first safety mechanism functions to ensure that the container is securely attached to the blade assembly before the blade assembly can be mounted to the base. The second safety mechanism functions to ensure the motor in the base can only be powered on when the container and the blade assembly are securely mounted to the base. The blender is operable by affixing the container to the blade assembly, and then the assembly to the base, such that both safety mechanisms are released to permit the motor to be activated.

A milk beverage heating mixer comprises a cup, a stirrer, a base, a heating plate, a temperature measurement assembly and a first lever assembly. A cavity for accommodating the cup is formed in an upper end of the base. A first radial opening and a second radial opening are formed in a cavity wall of the cavity. The heating plate is disposed at the bottom of the cavity. The first lever assembly is rotatably disposed outside the cavity, and a protrusion at a first end of the first lever assembly stretches into the cavity via the first radial opening. When accommodated in the cavity, the cup presses the protrusion and pushes the temperature measurement assembly by means of the second end of the first lever assembly to stretch into the cavity via the second radial opening to make contact with a side wall of the cup.

A variable-engagement planetary food mixing tool for attachment to a motorized food mixing apparatus is presented. The tool has a body that has a driveshaft engagement portion and a first longitudinal axis. The tool also has a sun gear concentric with the first longitudinal axis, wherein the sun gear has a first helical gear surface. A planet gear with a second longitudinal axis is also included, wherein the second longitudinal axis is non-parallel to the first longitudinal axis. The planet gear has a second helical gear surface extending around the second longitudinal axis. The planet gear is configured to engage the first helical gear surface of the sun gear in one or more positions along the second longitudinal axis. A mixing member is connected to the planet gear and moves around the first longitudinal axis while rotating around the second longitudinal axis as the planet gear traverses the sun gear.

A kitchen appliance has a motorized base and a food container with a rotary tool detachably mountable to the base. A safety switch is provided in the base and an actuator for actuating the safety switch is provided as part of the food container. The food container is mountable to the base with at least first and second angular orientations for setting different motor speed settings.

The present disclosure relates to a system comprising a food processor and a mixing device having at least one vessel with a mixing tool. The vessel can be both part of the food processor and part of the mixing device. The maximum possible rotational speed at which the food processor can rotate the mixing tool may be at least five times greater than the maximum possible rotational speed at which the food processor can rotate the mixing tool. The present disclosure also relates to a stand part for the mixing device of the system. The stand part may be configured to rotate the mixing tool at or below a predetermined rotational speed as well as at or below a predetermined torque level.
