  • Patent number: 11930964
    Abstract: A machine (1) for processing a liquid food substance includes: a jug (20) having a container (21) and delimiting a food for containing the liquid food substance; and a base (10) that has one or more walls (11) forming a seat (11?) for removably receiving the container (21). The base (10) and/or the container (21) has one or more thermally insulating spacers (11a) spacing the base wall(s) (11) from thermally conditioned outside container wall(s) (21a) when the container (21) is received in or on the seat (11?) so as to prevent or inhibit thermal transfer from the container (21) into the base (10) via the base wall(s) (11) from the container wall(s) (21a) adjacent the base wall(s) (11).

  • Patent number: 11678772
    Abstract: A machine (1) for processing a liquid food substance incorporates: a container (10) delimiting a cavity (10?) for containing said liquid food substance; an impeller (20) for driving the liquid food substance in the container (10); a motor (30) for driving the impeller (20); a motor chamber (40) for containing the motor (30); and a means for evacuating heat from the motor chamber (40). Such means comprises one or more movable members (50) that are driven by the motor (30) and that are configured to circulate air (2a,2b) in the motor chamber (40) to evacuate heat therefrom.

  • Publication number: 20210137315
    Abstract: A machine (1) for processing a liquid food substance includes a jug (20) that has a container (21) and a handle (31,32,33) for holding the jug by an adult human hand (40). The container (21) delimits a food cavity (21?) for containing the food substance. The handle (31,32,33) has a connection member (31) projecting from the container (21) and a substantially elongated upright gripping member (32) that is connected to the connection member (31) at a distance from the container (21). The gripping member (32) has an upper portion (32a) that is above the connection member (31) and a lower portion (32b) that is below the connection member (31). The upper portion (32a) is configured to support a thumb (41) of the hand (40) and delimits with the connection member (31) an upper seat (31a) for accommodating an index finger (42) of the hand (40).

  • Publication number: 20210007554
    Abstract: A machine (1) for processing a liquid food substance includes: a jug (20) having a container (21) and delimiting a food cavity (21?) for containing the liquid food substance; and a base (10) that has one or more walls (11) forming a seat (11?) for removably receiving the container (21). The base (10) and the jug (20) comprise or delimit, respectively, an off-centred projecting member (33) and a corresponding off-centred seat (13) for the projecting member (33) or vice versa. The off-centred seat (13) is configured to receive the projecting member (33) when the container (21) is received by the base seat (11?) such that the container (21) is in place for processing the liquid food substance. The off-centred projecting member (33) is configured to maintain the container (21) off its place for processing the liquid food substance in the cavity (21?) when the projecting member (33) is off-set relative to the off-centred seat (13).

  • Publication number: 20200359822
    Abstract: A machine (1) for processing a liquid food substance (10) includes: a container (2) having an outside wall (2?) and In delimiting a food cavity (2?) for containing the food substance (10); an impeller (20) for driving the food substance (10) in the cavity (2?); a housing (3) having an outside wall and delimiting a powered cavity (3?) that is adjacent the container (2) and that contains a motor (30) for driving the impeller (20) and a thermal conditioner (40) for managing heat in the food cavity (2?); and a control unit (31) for controlling the impeller motor (30) and the thermal conditioner (40). The thermal conditioner (40) has different first and second sections (41,42) extending over different first and sections of the outside housing wall (3??). The first and second conditioner sections (41,42) are configured to generate different levels of thermal energy per cm2.

  • Publication number: 20200359841
    Abstract: A machine (1) for processing a liquid food substance (10) includes: a container (2) delimiting a food cavity (2?) for containing said liquid food substance (10); an impeller (20) for driving the food substance (10) in the food cavity (2?); a housing (3) delimiting a powered cavity (3?) that is adjacent the container (2). The powered cavity (3?) contains a motor (30) for driving the impeller (20) a heat evacuation system (35, 36, 37, 37?, 37?) for evacuating heat from the powered cavity (3?) to a space (6) outside such machine (1), comprising a motorized ventilation arrangement (35,36); and a control unit (31). The motorized ventilation arrangement has a first ventilation device (35) driven by the impeller motor (30).
