Abstract: A cutting disc for cutting foodstuffs, intended for a receptacle of an appliance of the vegetable cutting type, includes: a rotary drive hub, a supporting disc firmly secured to the hub, and at least one blade attached on the supporting disc and extending radially from the hub. The blade comprises a cutting edge with the shape of an “S”, the convex portion of the “S” being located on the side of the hub so as to cause the foodstuffs to slide against the cutting edge from a central area of the receptacle towards a middle portion of the cutting edge under the action of the rotation of the supporting disc and of the blade, and the concave portion of the “S” being configured as a sickle in order to cause the foodstuffs to slide against the cutting edge from a peripheral area of the receptacle towards the middle portion.

Abstract: A rotor (11) for cutting foodstuffs, intended for a food processor, includes: a rotary drive hub (14) and at least one blade (16a, 16b) attached to the hub (14) and extending radially from the latter. The blade (16a, 16b) has a first portion (20a, 20b) with a highly-sharpened leading edge for cutting the foodstuffs and at the end of which is provided a second portion (22a, 22b) with a non-sharpened leading edge for striking the foodstuffs so as to promote their bursting.

Abstract: This device comprises: a housing (3), an electric motor (7) which is arranged in the housing (3) and which has a stator (27) and a rotor (21), and which is equipped with a drive shaft (23) and is provided in order to drive a product processing element, a ventilation device which is provided in order to cool the motor (7) during its operation, the device comprising at least one air inlet (33) and one air outlet (35) in the housing (3), the air outlet (35) being arranged radially relative to the shaft (23), a radial fan (39) which is fixedly joined to the shaft (23) and which is provided in order to circulate the air from the air inlet (33) towards the air outlet (35) via the motor (7). The ventilation device further comprises an axial fan (37) which is fixedly joined to the shaft (23) and which is arranged coaxially upstream of the radial fan (37).

Abstract: This device comprises: a housing (3), an electric motor (7) which has a rotary output shaft (23) and which is arranged in the housing (3) and is provided in order to drive a product processing element, a control and command device for the motor, comprising a device (57) for measuring the rotation speed of the drive shaft (23) in a contactless manner. The measuring device (57) comprises a Hall effect sensor (58) which is fixedly joined to the housing (3), and an associated coding element (59), which is fixedly joined to the shaft (23) in terms of rotation and which is provided in order to influence the sensor (58).

Abstract: A tool for use in a food processing machine. This tool has a cover tube (11) and a shaft (13) for driving in rotation a member for processing food products, which shaft is mounted in the cover tube (11), the cover tube (11) being provided at a first end with a mechanism (21, 25) for latching onto a machine body (3). The mechanism (21, 25) for latching the cover tube (11) onto the machine body (3) has at the first end, at least one flexible axial resilient arm (21) provided with a hook (25) which can cooperate with a complementary shoulder (33) of the machine body in such a manner as to form a snap-in connection. Also, a machine for processing food products and containing such a tool.

Abstract: A tool has: a tubular casing (11); and drive shaft (13); and a centering and guiding element (15) for the drive shaft (13). The tubular casing (11) and the drive shaft (13) are provided, at the same first end, with removable means (21, 25) for locking to the machine body (3) and releasable means (45) for coupling to a main shaft (41) of the machine, respectively. The centering and guiding element (15) has removable means (71, 73) for fixing to the tubular casing (11). The locating element (15) is mounted in the tubular casing (11) at the side of the first end, and the fixing means (71, 73) thereof are suitable for being locked in a correct fixing position by complementary locking means (47) provided on the machine (3) when the tubular casing (11) is fixed to the machine body (3).

Abstract: This tool comprises:

Abstract: A machine of the whisk-mixer type having: a stand (2) equipped with a cradle (6) for holding a bowl (7) opposite a tool-support head (4); a protective screen (8) that can be moved between an active safety position in which it cooperates with the bowl to prevent access to the tool and a retracted position; and a detector (13) for detecting that the screen is present in the active position so as to allow the machine to operate, wherein the screen (8) comprises rods (10) which provide for removable attachment of the screen to an articulated lever mechanism (9) for articulating the screen to the stand of the machine, and wherein the cradle (6) and the bowl (7) prevent the screen from being removed at least while it is in the active position.

Abstract: A device is provided for extracting paste from a kneading machine, in particular a kneading machine having a cylindrical vessel with a vertical axis of rotation, provided with a spiral type kneading tool which has a vertical axis and is mounted eccentrically relative to the axis of rotation of the vessel and which is driven by a driving device partly disposed in a housing in alignment with the tool. This device comprises a withdrawable paste extractor having an intermediate position of equilibrium between a working position and a withdrawn position, and a pivotable main cover having a shape complementary to the shape of the extractor so as to prevent access to the vessel when the extractor is in the intermediate position of equilibrium or the working position.
