Abstract: The appliance includes a chute for admitting food in a downward direction; a screw for processing foods leaving the chute, which is centered on an axis and includes an upper stage, provided with a sweeper acting on the foods leaving the chute to fragment them, and a separate lower stage to drive food fragments coming from the upper stage of the screw downward and press them; a chamber for receiving the screw, which is substantially centered on the axis and which includes an upper part, connected to the outlet of the chute to receive the foods leaving the chute and surrounding the upper stage of the screw, and a lower part, surrounding the lower stage of the screw to separate the juice from the food fragments when the latter are pressed by the lower stage of the screw; and a driving system including an electric motor for driving the screw.

Abstract: An electrical appliance includes a rotating food processing screw for processing food items exiting the outlet of a chute. The screw is coupled to an electric drive motor for driving the screw in rotation about itself around its central axis. An upper part of the screw has a sweeper for sweeping the outlet of the chute, and a lower part drives down towards the bottom and presses the food fragments coming from the upper part of the screw. Food blocking elements can block the food items. An inscribed sphere, which is geometrically defined by the chute, is movable within the interior of an upper part of a chamber receiving the screw. Two zones of contact between the inscribed sphere and the blocking elements are formed, and a third zone of contact is between the inscribed sphere and the sweeper.

Abstract: This device comprises a driving shaft, which is rotary on itself around a central axis and which is secured to a head for driving the tool into rotation around the axis, the tool being added onto the driving head in a removable way. The driving head includes a driving hub which is adapted so as to be engaged with a driven hub of the tool in order to transmit a rotary movement between them. The driving head is provided with locking centrifugal weights for the tool on the driving head, said centrifugal weights being moveable, under the effect of a centrifugal force resulting from the setting into rotation of the driving head by the driving shaft, between a rest position, in which the centrifugal weights do not interfere with the driven hub, and a position of use, in which a portion of each of the centrifugal weights is brought closer to the central axis and mechanically cooperates with the driven hub in order to maintain it engaged with the driving hub.

Abstract: This jar includes a bottom wall, bearing rotary mechanical elements for processing foodstuffs. This jar also includes a side wall extending transversely from the bottom wall while delimiting with the latter a free space in which the rotary elements act on the foodstuffs to be processed, this side wall having, opposite the bottom wall, a free end for introducing the foodstuffs into the free space. In order to make the use of this jar simple and efficient, the free end of the side wall has a regular pentagonal profile.

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.
