Abstract: The invention relates to a device for processing foodstuffs, including an upper part, a drive and a lower part and a working unit that can be driven and set rotating by means of the drive, the drive being a manually cord-operated drive and the device having a holding-operating element on the upper part. The upper part of the device has an opening and is designed to feed the foodstuff to be processed to the working unit and to hold the device in position.

Abstract: An appliance (100) for processing foodstuffs with a drive (2) including a pull-cord roller (21) having a concentric recess (22), in which there is arranged a spring element (23) located on the inside, the spring element (23) being operatively connected to the pull-cord roller. Through the drive (2), the working unit (4), which can be made to rotate, is driven, the working unit (4) being arranged in such a way that the external toothing (62) of the drive wheel (61) engages in the internal toothing (63) of the working unit (4) and, when the drive (2) is actuated, the working unit (4) is made to rotate. A locking element (10), which is equipped to lock the drive (2) in a non-operational state, and an unlocking element (11), which is equipped to actuate the locking element (10) in order to release the locking, contribute to the high operational safety of the appliance.

Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a working unit or a device that includes a working unit of this type for processing foodstuffs. The working unit can be driven and made to rotate by means of a drive unit of said device. The working unit preferably has at least two working elements that are situated on a working axis and that act in the peripheral direction of said working axis. At least one of the working elements can be pivoted about the working axis in relation to at least one additional working element within a restricted pivoting angle. The pivoting mobility of the blades, which are preferably interspaced and positioned axially one above the other, permits said blades to be brought into a common radial resting position in order to fill the container with the product to be cut, in such a way that practically the entire container volume is exposed and can be filled.

Abstract: A device for processing foodstuffs in accordance with an embodiment of the present disclosure includes an upper part, a drive mechanism and a lower part with a working container, in which a working unit can be manually driven and made to rotate by means of the drive mechanism. The drive mechanism includes a tractive cable drive and is operatively connected to the working unit by means of a releasable torque-coupled connection. The drive mechanism also includes a primary and secondary drive unit, which are operatively interconnected by means of a gear in such a way that a transmission ratio of between 1:1.5 and 1:4 and preferably between 1:1.8 and 1:1.9 is achieved. The primary and secondary drive units are axially parallel and dimensioned in such a way that at least one of the drive units intersects the rotational axis of the other respective drive unit.

Abstract: A device for processing foodstuffs in accordance with an embodiment of the present disclosure includes an upper part, a drive mechanism and a lower part with a working container. In said device, a working unit can be manually driven and made to rotate by means of a drive mechanism and the working unit, in addition, includes a working rate indicator. The indicator preferably includes light-emitting diodes, which provide the user with information about the progress of the work to be completed. The working rate indicator is electrically/electronically driven and the energy required for this is produced by a generator.

Abstract: A salad spin-drier with a bowl of glass or ceramic so that part of the water collection bowl, which until now has been purely functional, may be simultaneously used as a serving bowl for the salad. The salad bowl as is standard apart from the bowl has a lid in which a drive mechanism having a rotary drive plate with a cord drum and a pull cord may be set into rotational movement by a pull grip. The rotary drive plate with tabs engages into suitable ribs on the spin-drier basket. The spin-drier basket has a bearing recess which rests on a bearing cam. The bearing cam is separated from the bowl centrally on a plate. The bowl has a planar inner base on which the plate rests, and by way of an abutment edge limiting the plane base one achieves a central mounting of the plate. For the simplified removal of the plate these may have suitable openings easier gripping. A rubber-elastic rest is on the underside of the plate and serves as scratch-protection and slip-protection.

Abstract: A chopper, or crusher (1) for breaking up ice, including a housing (2, 3) able to be pushed over the goods to be broken up and with a knife (5) with a blade having a toothed cutter (52) is provided. An upper housing part (2) is detachably connectable to a beaker-like housing lower part (3) closed at the bottom. In a preferred embodiment, the height HK of the blade (51), the height of the beaker HB and the maximum vertical path of the knife (5) limited by an actuation mechanism (4) are selected and matched to one another such that the cutter (52) in its lowermost position does not come into contact with the beaker base (31).

Abstract: A can opener for semi-professional use includes a cylindrical functional part which is connected to a crank, that may be inserted from two sides through an annular housing which is fastened on a stand. The functional part is connected with a positive and non-positive fit with a bayonet-like closure in this housing preferably by way of screwing, to a fastening ring. By way of this design, the functional part may be quickly assembled in this housing and be removed therefrom again. The can opener may be permanently fastened on a horizontal surface or a vertical wall by a fastening means. A support rod and a support surface fastened to the same are fastened with the functional part on the housing, so that the support surface prevents cans to be opened from falling down.

Abstract: The present invention provides a spice mill, in particular a pepper mill, having an improved design for setting the fineness of ground particles produced by the mill. Outer grinding teeth are located within a fixed seat. The fixed seat is connected to a rotating seat by means of a convex annular bead and a concave annular groove, thereby preventing movement of the rotating seat away from the fixed seat when the rotating seat is rotated in order to set the fineness of the ground particles. Inner grinding teeth are positioned within the outer grinding teeth and supported by a lift seat. Spokes on the lift seat are positioned within guide grooves located on the inner wall of the fixed seat whereby, on rotation of the rotating seat, the lift seat is moved upward or downward and the inner grinding teeth are shifted upwards or downwards, thereby setting the size and the fineness of the ground particles produced by the mill.
