Abstract: A safety device for a food processor having a bowl closed by a cover and fed through a chute for introducing products into the working bowl, has a control switch responsive to the position of a pusher guide carrying a pusher. The pusher is slidably mounted for translation in the pusher-guide. The pusher-guide is pivotally mounted to cover over the open end of the chute, and a set of rods connect the pusher-guide to the switch operating safety rod extending along the bowl. The device prevents access of the user's hand to the cutting area, even for a large chute, by blocking the chute when the motor is enabled.

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.
