Patent number: 12070145Abstract: 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.Type: GrantFiled: November 21, 2018Date of Patent: August 27, 2024Assignee: Societe des Produits Nestle S.A.Inventors: Heinz Dercar, Bertrand Guyon, Johan Nieuwendijk, Wolfgang Tuider

Patent number: 12064058Abstract: 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).Type: GrantFiled: November 21, 2018Date of Patent: August 20, 2024Assignee: Societe des Produits Nestle S.A.Inventors: Heinz Dercar, Bertrand Guyon, Johan Nieuwendijk, Wolfgang Tuider

Patent number: 12042094Abstract: 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).Type: GrantFiled: March 28, 2019Date of Patent: July 23, 2024Assignee: Societe des Produits Nestle S.A.Inventors: Da Mi Byun, Heinz Dercar, Bertrand Guyon, Christian Hoffmann, Marco Restelli, Wolfgang Tuider, Philipp Zavarsky

Patent number: 12029352Abstract: A machine for processing a liquid food substance includes a jug that has a container and a handle for holding the jug by an adult human hand. The container delimits a food cavity for containing the food substance. The handle has a connection member projecting from the container and a substantially elongated upright gripping member that is connected to the connection member at a distance from the container. The gripping member has an upper portion that is above the connection member and a lower portion that is below the connection member. The upper portion is configured to support a thumb of the hand and delimits with the connection member an upper seat for accommodating an index finger of the hand.Type: GrantFiled: March 28, 2019Date of Patent: July 9, 2024Assignee: Societe des Produits Nestle S.A.Inventors: Da Mi Byun, Heinz Dercar, Bertrand Guyon, Christian Hoffmann, Marco Restelli, Wolfgang Tuider, Philipp Zavarsky

Patent number: 11930964Abstract: 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).Type: GrantFiled: March 28, 2019Date of Patent: March 19, 2024Assignee: Societe des Produits Nestle S.A.Inventors: Da Mi Byun, Heinz Dercar, Bertrand Guyon, Christian Hoffmann, Marco Restelli, Wolfgang Tuider, Philipp Zavarsky
