A blending device is shown and described. The blending device may include a blending container and a power source operatively connected to the blending container. The power source may be configured to supply power to the blending container. The blending container may also include a feature that is powered by the power source.

Proposed is a blender in which a main body operates when closure of a container lid of a container body is detected. In the blender, when the closure of the container lid of the container body is detected, power is transmitted from a first induction coil of the main body to a second induction coil of the container body, and when the change of the magnetic field of the first induction coil or the second induction coil generated by the power transmitted to the second induction coil is detected, the main body recognizes the closure of the container lid of the container body and operates.

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, power is transmitted from a first induction coil of the main body to a second induction coil of the container body, and by using the power transmitted to the second induction coil, an electromagnet module of the container body transmits a signal to a receiving module of the main body, and when the receiving module receives the signal, the main body recognizes the closure of the container lid of the container body and operates.

Proposed is a method for distinguishing a container body seated on a main body of a blender, and the blender. The blender according to the present disclosure has arranged at the lower part of the container body a light source module for transmitting a light signal, and has arranged at the upper part of the main body a light reception module for receiving the light signal such that, when the container body is seated on the main body, power is supplied to the light source module via inductive coupling of a first induction coil arranged on the main body and a second induction coil arranged on the container body, the light source module transmits the light signal corresponding to the container body, the light reception module receives the light signal, and the container body on the main body can thereby be distinguished.

A blending system is shown and described herein. The blending system may include a base including a motor, a blade selectively and operably engaged with the base, where the motor rotates the blade, a container having an open end and a lid configured to cover the open end. The blending system may also include an interlock system that may include a plurality of induction coils positioned on the base and the container and be in electrical communication with at least one lid sensor, wherein the power is translated through the induction coils to engage a switch device to complete a power circuit to allow a user to operate the motor of the blender.

A blending device is shown and described. The blending device may include a blending container and a power source operatively connected to the blending container. The power source may be configured to supply power to the blending container. The blending container may also include a feature that is powered by the power source.

A container for domestic appliances, wherein the container includes a handle, a circumferential outer side wall and at least one opening on an upper side of the container. The container includes at least one fastening element integral with the side wall, characterized in that the fastening element is a hook which extends in a first direction outwards from the side wall and also extends in a second direction essentially parallel to the side wall. The handle forms a form-fitting connection with the container via the at least one fastening element.

The present disclosure relates to a food processor along with a corresponding method for performing a food preparation process by heating, chopping and/or mixing a food in a food preparation vessel. The food processor comprises a control device configured such that the control device ensures, based on one or more cooking parameters, that in a cooking mode a food is heated, chopped and/or mixed in the food preparation vessel. A sampling mode for taking a food sample is provided and the control device is configured such that at least one of the cooking parameters is modified compared to the cooking mode for a modified continuation of the food preparation process when the sampling mode is activated. A particularly reproducible cooking result can be achieved in this way despite taking a food sample.

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 food processing container includes a food processing chamber and a cover assembly with a latch mechanism operable between latched and unlatched positions. The latch mechanism includes a first magnetic member disposed therein. An interlock assembly is disposed outside of and adjacent to the food processing chamber and includes a sealed cavity with a plunger member moveable disposed within the sealed cavity. The plunger is operable between at-rest and actuated positions within the sealed cavity and includes upper and lower magnetic members disposed at opposite ends of the plunger member. The plunger member moves to the actuated position as the latch mechanism moves to the latched position due to a repulsion force between the first magnetic member and the upper magnetic member, and further wherein the lower magnetic member moves into the lower portion of the sealed cavity as the latch mechanism moves to the latched position.
