Abstract: A rotary food processor including a base unit, drive elements provided with a rotary motor spindle, an active processing implement, a driveshaft to drive the active implement, and wherein the driveshaft is movable from a rest position to an active position in which it rotates by a force applied by a user. The driveshaft is a hollow shaft which defines an open housing in which the rotary spindle is at least partially retained and the rotary spindle freely rotates within the housing when the driveshaft is in the rest position.

Abstract: This processor comprises a base unit, drive means provided with a rotary motor spindle (44), an active processing implement, particularly a juice-extracting cone, a driveshaft (22) to drive the active implement, having a rest position and an active position in which it is set in motion, this drive member being able to move from its rest position into its active position under the effect of a force applied by the user. This driveshaft (22) is a hollow shaft which defines a housing (28) at least partially accommodating the rotary spindle (44), this rotary spindle being able to turn freely in this housing when the driveshaft is in the rest position.
