Abstract: A handheld motorised food cutting device (10) is disclosed herein.

Abstract: A food processor (100) with a food preparation vessel (102), a base (104) housing a drive motor (111) and a spindle assembly (140) for detachable engagement with an accessory (109) for rotation in the preparation vessel (102). The spindle assembly (140) has a gear assembly such that the accessory (109) is driven at a speed that differs from that of the drive motor (111).

Abstract: A cutting accessory for a food processor has a body that fits within the food processor's bowl and lid. The body supports a cutting disc that is offset to the food processor's spindle. The cutting disc is driven by the rotation of the spindle.

Abstract: A kitchen device (100) including: abase (102) having a mechanism (118) that is operated using electrical power to cause processing of food; a vessel (104) removably mounted on the base (102) and including a bottom wall (108), a side wall (110) extending upwardly from the bottom wall (108) to a rim (112) so as to provide a space (114) to receive the food to be processed, with the rim (112) surrounding an opening (116) to the space (114); a lid (106) removably coupled to the rim (112) so as to at least partially close the opening (116); and an interlock system (120) operatively associated with the mechanism (118) to permit the delivery of the electric power to the mechanism (118), the system (120) including a first interlock circuit (122) and a second interlock circuit (124), wherein delivery of the electric power to the mechanism (118) is permitted by the completion of the first interlock circuit (122) and activation of the second interlock circuit (124), wherein the first interlock circuit (122) includes a fi

Abstract: A potato peeling accessory is adapted to work with a food processor or other means of rotating it. The accessory comprises a working surface on which are formed mechanical abrasion or peeling features.

Abstract: A latch has a displaceable latching element in a housing for engagement with a separate striker arm to be latched behind an engagement shoulder of the latching element. The housing mounts a cylinder lock to receive a key from the front. A rotor is mounted on the rear of cylinder lock and rotation of the key rotation the rotor to drive a locking element to engage and lock the latching element. The rotor may also be axial displaceable against spring biasing responsive to a rear unit pushing element whereby unlocking from a rear cylinder lock may rotate the rotor to unlock and pushing causes the latching element to be displaced against its biasing to release the striker arm. Embodiments include a gravity biased and manually opened latch and a spring biased self-locking embodiment.
