  • Patent number: 7074046
    Abstract: A detachable power supply apparatus for an appliance has a temperature control device and a power supply cord. The temperature control device is removably and electrically connected to the appliance, and has a first member that extends outwardly from a first side of the temperature control device. The temperature control device has a conductor on the first side and has a probe on a second side opposite the first side. The power supply cord has a female electrical connector at a first end connecting to the conductor. The female electrical connector is connectable to a power supply to supply power to the female electrical connector and to the conductor. The power supply cord has a second member. The first member selectively fastens to the second member so that the first member disengages the second member without disturbing a position of the appliance upon application of a force on the power supply cord.

  • Patent number: 7069839
    Abstract: A locking system for an appliance has lid and feed chute locking components that include a spring-biased, ramp surfaced pivoting arm that is adapted to be activated to extend or retract a rod that activates or de-activates a motor drive of a food processor. The arm is activated by rotational movement of the lid relative to the bowl, as an extension member attached to the lid, which is activated by insertion of the plunger, extends downwardly from the lid and engages the ramp surface of the pivoting arm when the lid is rotated. Thus, the plunger can remain inside of the food chute of the lid while the lid is removed or replaced.

  • Patent number: 6976882
    Abstract: A detachable power supply apparatus for an appliance has a temperature control device for electrical connection to the appliance. The temperature control device has a first member extending outwardly therefrom and a conductor on the first side of the temperature control device. The temperature control device has a probe on a second side substantially opposite the first side. The apparatus has a power supply cord with a female electrical connector that connects to the conductor. The female connector is connectable to a power supply to supply power to the female connector and to the conductor. The power supply cord has a clip member that selectively fastens to the first member so that the first member disengages the clip member without disturbing a position of the appliance upon application of a force on the power supply cord.
