  • Patent number: 9538883
    Abstract: A grating disc (4) arranged to be mounted within a food processor (1) and to be rotated in a direction of rotation (26). The grating disc (4) comprising at least one grating tooth (24) for grating food to be processed which tooth protrudes from a surface of the grating disc. The tooth (24) has an uninterrupted, continuous envelope surface (29) forming an outer contour of said tooth (24) which surface has gradient which spatial derivative does not change sign. The envelope surface comprises a front surface (30) which is, during use, the leading surface of the grating tooth (24). The front surface (30) extends from the grating said disc surface (23) to a distal end of the grating tooth, and is adapted to be brought into contact with said food during use of said food processor (1). The front surface (30) is delimited in one direction by the grating disc surface, and in at least one other direction by at least one grating edge (32).

  • Patent number: 8794133
    Abstract: A grating disc (4) arranged to be rotatably mounted within a food processor (1), to rotate in a direction of rotation (26), which grating disc (4) comprises at least one grating tooth (24) for grating food to be processed. The grating disc (4) comprises at least one groove (28) extending from an inner region (21) to an outer edge (22) of the grating disc (4) to assist in guiding food particles outwardly during use of the food processor (1). With the provision of a grating disc in accordance with the present invention, improved output of processed food is accomplished in that the at least one groove with assistance of centrifugal force guides the processed food outwardly for retrieval.
