Abstract: An apparatus for extraction of juice and pulp from a food product includes a base enclosing an electric motor from which extends a rotating drive shaft, a tank fixed on the base and transpierced by the drive shaft, an entry spout for the food product, a strainer set in the tank and being supported and spun by the drive shaft, the strainer comprising a radial wall perforated by several holes and a solid bottom, such that the food product is in contact with the bottom and the wall and passes through the holes, and a food pusher which can be inserted in the spout, the food product being held against the bottom of the strainer by the food pusher in order to extract from this food product its juice which is collected in the tank situated underneath the strainer, wherein the bottom of the strainer comprises a shape of an ascending or descending staircase.

Abstract: The disclosed embodiments relate to a juice extractor (1) permitting the processing of a food product. The juice extractor includes a base (2) enclosing an electric motor from which extends a drive shaft (7), a tank (3) transpierced by the drive shaft, an entry spout (5) for the food product, a strainer (4) set in the tank and supported and spun by the drive shaft, the strainer including a radial wall (33) perforated by several holes (16) and a solid bottom (11), and a food pusher (6) which can be inserted in the spout, the food product being pushed against the bottom of the strainer by the food pusher with a view to changing the texture of this food product and to collect the processed food product in the tank situated underneath the strainer. To reduce the risk of obtaining residues of a size which can cause the juice extractor to vibrate during use, the disclosed embodiments propose to create a strainer bottom which is stair-shaped.

Abstract: A safety push-button keypad for a food processor has a base with an electric motor and its command circuit operated by a push-button key pad. A removable container is mounted on the base and can be closed with a cover. The cover has a cam that comes to rest, when the cover is locked onto the container, on the end of a stem running into a housing extending along an axis relative to the container, which can be cylindrical. Above the stem and in its extension extends a piston on which is fixed a microswitch mounted running into the base, a related push button corresponding with a lever coming to bear, when the piston is down, on the contact of the microswitch.

Abstract: A food processor has a base and a bowl. The base is arranged to couple with the bowl such that the bowl is held from moving in vertical translation by lugs fixed on the base co-operating with corresponding parts of the bowl. The bowl and base are formed with a cooperating abutment and abutment surface, respectively, which are alignable to abut and prevent the bowl from rotating relative the base.
