Abstract: A blender for home food preparation is improved by the incorporation of electronic motor control circuitry responsive to a microcontroller. The microcontroller includes memory for storage of data and programmed instructions. The programmed instructions permit a user to select from a plurality of blending speeds and define a pre-determined end time. Use of a pre-determined end time produces a two-speed blending cycle. The programmed instructions determine the length and energy level associated with each portion of the two-speed blending cycle. A user can stop the blending cycle at any time, with or without a pre-determined end time. Safety features include a pre-determined maximum motor run time, top jar load detector and auto shut down after a period of inactivity. The pre-determined end time from a previous blending cycle is stored in memory, allowing the microcontroller to reproduce the duration of the previous blending cycle.

Abstract: A food processor incorporates an electronic motor control and display. Times relevant to the operation of the food processor are displayed for reference by the user. A user can select a food processing cycle duration, in which case the display is operated in a count-down mode. If no duration is selected, the display is operated in a count-up mode. Measured motor speed is used by a microprocessor based motor control circuit to regulate power delivered to the drive motor. A programmed auto pulse function delivers power to the drive motor in an on off pattern, freeing the user's hands. A safety switch is arranged to sense the presence or absence of the food pusher in the chute. Operation of the food processor drive motor is paused until the food pusher is replaced in the chute. The food processor is provided with a high-speed function.

Abstract: Apparatus for extracting juice from produce such as fruits and vegetables. The extractor has a base which includes a housing and a motor with a vertically aligned drive shaft. A blade basket detachably mounted on and driven by the output shaft separates produce into pulp and juice, and a juice bowl surrounding the blade basket collects the juice. The juice bowl is mounted on the base of the apparatus such that rotation of the bowl in a first direction relative to the base locks the bowl to the base. Rotation of the juice bowl in the opposite direction out of the locked position lifts the bowl away from the base and uncouples the blade basket from the drive shaft. An interlock system keeps the motor from being turned on until the juice bowl is locked to the base and a cover is locked onto the juice bowl. Performance is enhanced by, inter alia: anti-splashing provisions and vibration absorbing components which isolate the motor and the motor driven components of the apparatus.
