Publication number: 20240108175Abstract: A bowl assembly for a micro puree machine includes a beaker removeably attachable to a beaker coupling located inside a bowl. The beaker coupling operatively couples to a drive motor assembly for rotation of the beaker coupling and the beaker relative to the bowl. The bowl in turn locks onto a bayonet structure on a base of the micro puree machine, which secures the bowl in position on the base while the beaker coupling and the beaker rotate.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 28, 2023Publication date: April 4, 2024Applicant: SharkNinja Operating LLCInventors: Xu Sheng Deng, Zintis Jones, Nicholas M. O'Loughlin, Michelle Hilary Power

Patent number: 11641978Abstract: The present invention relates to a micro puree machine that includes a blade assembly, a lid assembly, and a clip mechanism. The blade assembly has a central support hub, a blade, and an undercut. The lid assembly is configured to cooperate with a bowl assembly and includes a lid and a clip mechanism. The clip mechanism is movable between a first position and a second position and cooperates with the undercut at times the clip mechanism is the in the first position. The blade assembly is retained in the lid assembly at times the clip mechanism is in or near the first position, and the blade assembly is disengaged from the undercut and removable from the lid assembly at times the clip mechanism is in or near the second position.Type: GrantFiled: December 31, 2020Date of Patent: May 9, 2023Assignee: SHARKNINJA OPERATING LLCInventors: Nicholas Michael O'loughlin, Xu Sheng Deng, Ting Hua Zhang, Ming Li Shi, Michelle Hilary Power

Publication number: 20220225832Abstract: A micro puree machine including a housing, a power shaft, a bowl assembly and a platform. The power shaft extends from the housing. The bowl assembly including at least one locking bowl element. The platform includes at least one complementary locking platform element that is configured to engage the at least one locking bowl element such that rotation of the bowl assembly relative to the platform is prevented at times the bowl assembly is positioned thereon. The platform is rotatable from a first position to a second position relative to the housing such that the platform raises the bowl assembly towards the power shaft during the rotation of the bowl assembly and platform. The raising of the bowl assembly facilitates connection between the power shaft and a blade assembly that is positioned in a lid assembly on the bowl assembly.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 5, 2022Publication date: July 21, 2022Applicant: SharkNinja Operating LLCInventors: Nicholas Michael O'Loughlin, Michelle Hilary Power, Xu Sheng Deng, Ting Hua Zhang, Pushan He, Ping Chu

Publication number: 20220202248Abstract: A lid assembly for use with a micro puree machine including a lid, a clip mechanism, and a release mechanism. The defines an axis. The clip mechanism is movable between an inward position and an outward position relative to the axis of the lid. The release mechanism is positionable relative to the clip mechanism between a home position and a release position and is operable to move the clip mechanism between the inward position and the outward position. At times the release mechanism is positioned toward the home position, the clip mechanism is moved toward the inward position. At times the release mechanism is positioned toward the release position, the clip mechanism is moved toward the outward position. The clip lever is operable to cause the clip mechanism to engage with or disengage from the blade assembly during installation and removal of bowl assembly from a micro puree machine.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 31, 2020Publication date: June 30, 2022Inventors: Nicholas Michael O'LOUGHLIN, Michelle Hilary POWER, Xu Sheng DENG, Ting Hua ZHANG, Pushan HE, Ping CHU
