Abstract:
A blender includes a base for housing a motor, an insulated, removable mixing container mounted on the base with a dispenser for dispensing content from the container, a lid, and a grinding and shaving assembly disposed inside the mixing container near its bottom. The grinding and shaving assembly includes a grinding and shaving blade assembly attached to a rotating shaft and a screen disposed around the grinding and shaving blade assembly. The screen is spaced from an inner sidewall of the mixing container to form a space between the screen and the inner sidewall. An opening is defined near a bottom of the mixing container to form a fluid passage between the space and the dispenser. A safety switch is provided so that the blender will not run unless the lid is closed. Either an AC or a DC motor may be used, with a build-in DC-AC or AC-DA converter.
