Abstract: A blender system is shown and described. A blender system may include a blender base that includes an electric motor and a power source including a switch where the power source is electrically coupled to the electric motor and operation of the switch inhibits power from delivering from the power source to the electric motor. The blender base may also include a blender base body, that includes side walls that define an inner surface with upper protrusions forming an upper ledge and lower protrusions forming a lower ledge on the side walls, and switch assemblies that include actuators that are movable between a raised and lowered position. The blender system may also include a container, where engageable with the upper protrusions of the blender base body, and a blade base engageable with the lower protrusions of the blender base, where the blade base includes a blade engageable with the motor.

Abstract: Provided is a blending system having a locking and/or sealing mechanism. The blending system may include a blending cup and a blade base having a blade assembly. The blending cup may have an open end and a closed end. The blade base may be selectively attachable to the open end of the blending cup and include the locking and/or sealing mechanism. The blade base may include a button corresponding to a protrusion that can selectively engage a mating groove on the blending cup to alternate between locked and unlocked positions. The blending system may be portable.

Abstract: A blending system is disclosed herein. The blending system may comprise a blender base, a container and a blending volume reducing device. The blending volume reducing device may be removably inserted into the container of the blender system at various positions. The positions may alter the working volume of the container when the blending volume reducing device is inserted in the container.
