Technologies are provided herein for a modular deposition tool design that allows for both, the fast interchanging of materials and for easy cleaning of all wetted surfaces. A drive assembly for use in a solid freeform fabrication system, includes a drive module having a drive mechanism and a detachable material bay assembly that is detachable from the drive module. The material bay assembly includes a material bay holder, a material deposition tool, and a corresponding material bay actuation mechanism that can engage with the drive mechanism of the drive module when the material bay assembly is coupled to the drive module such that when the drive mechanism of the drive module is actuated, the material bay actuation mechanism is actuated, which causes the material deposition tool to deposit material from a material bay inserted in the material bay holder.

The invention described herein is directed to a food processing assembly having an upright or tower configuration with a blade support member and a blade member engaged with a top portion of the tower. In one example embodiment, the food processing assembly is configured to process food received in an inlet chute using a blade assembly located on the blade member that is operated in an oscillating mode.

Industrial cheese grater or shredder hoppers and/or apparatuses comprise, for example, an input aperture for adding cheese for grating or shredding thereof configured to accommodate at least two standard blocks of cheese. Moreover, a safety bar mechanism allows for safe use of the cheese grater or shredder apparatus.

A grater includes a grater body having a first grater surface forming a first grater body sidewall, and a second grater surface forming a second grater body sidewall, each of the first and second grater surfaces having one or more grating features. A removable grating plane is selectively attachable to the grater body. An optional cover may surround the grater body.

Multi-grater set (1) including at least a first and a second grater (2, 3), arranged opposite one another, and a handle part (8). The first and second graters (2, 3) are arranged in such a way that they can be disassembled, to be in an assembled working position or a separated position, particularly for cleaning, and in that the handle part (8) is arranged so as to be removable from the first (2) or the second grater (3) in order to cover the first (2) or the second grater (3) in the assembled position.

An adjustable blade assembly includes a threaded hub coupleable to a drive shaft of a food processor and a slicing plate slidably mounted on the hub. A slicing blade couples to the hub above a first surface of the slicing plate for cutting food introduced into the food processor. A cannulated support collar couples to the hub and includes a plurality of detents. A slicing adjustment sleeve rotatably couples to the hub and to the support collar to move the slicing plate up and down relative to the hub, thus changing a selected distance between the slicing plate and the slicing blade. As the user rotates the slicing adjustment sleeve, a plunger housed inside the slicing adjustment sleeve engages the plurality of detents on the support collar, thus providing tactile feedback to the user and maintaining the slicing blade in the desired position relative to the slicing plate.

A juicer including a juicing device and a driving device adapted for driving a juicing device, the juicing device includes a container and a roller being rotatably mounted inside the container, the roller is adapted to be driven by the driving device, the roller includes first and second cutting plates being projected outwardly from an outer surface of the roller, a juice outlet and a residue outlet are positioned on a container wall, a plurality of cutting plate receivers is arranged on the outer surface of the roller and is adapted for allowing the first and second cutting plates to be slidingly mounted inside the cutting plate receivers, the first cutting plate includes at least one cutting member having a convex structure mounted on a surface of the first cutting plate.

An appliance for cutting food, particularly fruit and vegetables, includes a base and at least one cutting blade. The base includes a surface for receiving the food and a device for translatably guiding the cutting blade that is to be moved back and forth by the user over the food.
