EXAMPLES 1

[0058] Plant-based milk maker and blender for producing plant-based milk consists of two segments, connected in a permanent separable manner. The bottom segment constitutes for the base (1) with the drive engine (1a) and the upper segment is the pitcher container (2) with the rotatable lid (2c) and the blending element (2a) equipped with the blending knives (2b) driven by the drive engine (1a) of the base (1). The base (1) has the cylindrical coupling element (1h) in the upper part, that is equipped with the incisions (1i) corresponding to the incisions in the rotating blending part (2a) coupled with the blending knives (2b) of the pitcher container (2). The base is also provided with the supporting sockets (1g). The rotating blending part (2a) is coupled to the drive shaft of the drive engine (1a) of the base (1). The drive engine (1) operates on two different speeds. On the upper surface of the lid (2c) there is the lid cylinder (2d) with an inner hole with a diameter analogous to the outer diameter of the drive engine (1a) of the base (1). The pitcher container (2) has the rotatable lid (2c) with a rotation lock with three slits (2e) on the circumference of the lid (2c) and three slits (2f) on the circumference of the pitcher container (2). The pitcher container (2) has a conical shape tapering downwards. On the upper surface of the base (1) there is a removable draining spout (1b) with the draining funnel (1c) for the outflowing milk that flows to the outer circumference. The base (1) is equipped with one switch button (1d). Inside the upper part of base (1) there is the first control sensor (1f). On the inner surface of the draining spout (1b) there is the second control sensor (1e). Furthermore, the device is provided with the protective bell-shaped cover (3).

[0059] 250 g almonds were soaked and left overnight. The device was assembled by placing the pitcher container (2) on the base (1) with the narrower part going downwards. The pitcher container (2) pushed on the control sensor (1f). Into the pitcher container (2), soaked almonds were added and covered with three glasses of boiled cooled water. The rotatable lid (2c) was closed by rotating it in such a way that the slits (2e) on the lid and the slits (2f) on the circumference of the pitcher container closed off. The drive engine (1a) of the base (1) was started by pressing the switch button (1d). The pressure of the pitcher container (2) on the first control sensor (1f) caused the drive engine (1a) to run at a higher speed rotation. There was a change in the liquid color in the pitcher container (2). When the liquid color became white and ceased to be transparent, the drive engine (1a) of the base (1) was turned off. The pitcher container (2) was removed from the base (1), the slits (2e) on the lid and the slits (2f) on the circumference of the pitcher container were opened by the rotation of the lid (2c) of the pitcher container (2). The pitcher container was placed upside down by mounting the lid cylinder (2d) on the drive shaft of the drive engine (1a) of the base (1). A protective bell-shaped cover (3) was placed over, so that it pressed the second control sensor (1e). The drive engine (1a) was started and worked at lower rotation speed than during blending. The pitcher container (2) that was mounted on the drive shaft was rotating now with slower speed and the centrifugal force caused the remaining particles from the almond blending adhere tightly to the inner walls of the pitcher container (2) and the almond milk flew through open slits (2e) and (2f) into the draining spout (1b) and from there straight into the draining funnel (1c) and then the jug. After completing the separation of almond milk from the almond residue solids, the engine drive (1a) was turned off, the kitchen appliance was disassembled and washed. The almond milk obtained was clear and contained no solids.

[0060] The device can be used as a blender for making fruit shakes and other smoothies from blended fruit and vegetables. After obtaining the smoothie, the pitcher container does need to be turn upside down.

EXAMPLE 2

[0061] Plant-based milk maker and blender for making plant-based milk consists of three segments, connected in a permanent separable manner. The lower segment is the base (4) with the drive engine (4a) sitting on the base (4f) that is supported with the supporting sockets (4d). The upper segment is the container (5) with a lid (5c) and a blending element (5a) combined with the rotary knives (5b), driven by a drive engine (4a) of the base (4). Between the upper and lower segments there is a central segment (6) driven by the drive engine (4a) of base (4). The base (4) has a coupling element (4b) provided with the incisions corresponding with the incisions in the blending element (5a) of the container (5).

[0062] The blending element (5a) is coupled with the drive engine (4a) of the base (4). The container (5) has a lid (5c) and one lockable opening (5d) in the bottom of the container, under the which there is a sliding pad (5e) also with one opening (5f). The sliding pad (5e) has a projection (5g) extending beyond the outline of the container (5). The base (4) is provided with one switch button (4c). The central section (6) is made of a cylindrical chamber (6a) with a drain opening and a draining funnel (6d) on its circumference. In the cylindrical chamber (6a) there is a rotary perforated drum (6c). The drive engine (4a) of the base (4) passes through the central part of the drum (6c).

[0063] 250 g almonds were soaked and left overnight. The device was assembled by placing the container (5) on the base (4) and the central segment (6) was placed between them. In the container (5), the soaked almonds were placed, and three glasses of boiled cooled water were added. The lid (5c) was closed and the drive engine (4a) of the base (4) was turned on.

[0064] The change of color of the liquid in the container (5) was observed. When the color of the liquid became white and the liquid was no longer transparent, the sliding pad (5e) with one opening (5f) has been slid sideways to uncover the opening in the bottom of the container by holding and pushing on one side of pad's projection (5g) with the finger. The milk liquid was poured into the rotating central segment (6) where the centrifugal force caused it to push through the rotary perforated drum (6c) to the cylindrical chamber (6a) from where it went straight through the drain opening and the draining funnel (6d) into the standing jug. After completion of the almond milk separation from solids particles of almonds, the drive engine (4a) was turned off, the appliance was disassembled and washed. The almond milk obtained was clear and contained no solids.

[0065] This device can be also used as a blender. After completion of the blending, the sliding pad (5e) does not need to be slid to open the hole in the bottom of the container. The obtained fruit smoothie is poured into another dish.

[0066] The device can be used further as a juice extractor too. The central segment does not get the container (5) put on top of it but instead the grinding metal shield (7b) is placed on top of the central segment and covered with the lid (7) with the piston (7a). Activation of drive engine (4a) with the switch button puts the grinding metal shield (7b) into the lower speed rotation. The fruit or vegetable is put into the central segment through the lid and pushed in with the piston (7a) into the cylindrical chamber (6a) with the perforated drum (6c). The fruit is crushed, and juice gets whirled due to the centrifugal forced and it goes straight to the draining funnel (6d) and into the adjacent juice collecting vessel.
