When the opening of the grinder faces upward, rotating the dust cover can close and engage with the opening of the dust cover automatically. Thus, the present invention prevents the feed opening of the electric grinder from being exposed to air when the user forgets to close the dust cover.

    Abstract: A blender system includes a container having a rotatable blade assembly therein, a lid covering an open end of the container, and a base with a motorized unit. When the container is coupled with the base, the motorized unit is adapted to drive rotation of the rotatable blade assembly. The lid includes a hinged actuator lever adapted to actuate the motorized unit. A detent extends from the hinged actuator lever and passes through a series of apertures and presses against a slidable actuator shaft disposed in the container and maintained in its position by a spring force, thereby depressing a switch for the motorized unit. A rotatable blade system includes cutting blade(s) and crushing blade(s). The crushing blade extends longitudinally outwardly from a hub. When the hub rotates in a first direction or second direction opposite the first direction, a face of the crushing blade is leading or trailing, respectively.

  • Publication number: 20230301468
    Abstract: The invention relates to devices for reheating food. The technical result consists in being able to use a device for delivering and simultaneously reheating and/or cooking food. The device for delivering and reheating food comprises a housing, which contains a food heating container, a container for a hot medium, and a switching module which switches over between different operating modes of the device. Moreover, the container for the hot medium is in the form of a thermally insulated vessel which is connected to the heating container by a medium exchange conduit. The medium exchange conduit is in the form of two conduits—a conduit for supplying the hot medium from the thermally insulated vessel to the food heating container, and a conduit for returning the medium from the food heating container to the thermally insulated vessel, and the switching module is connected to a pump for pumping the medium and to a power supply.
