Abstract

A juice blender includes a container having a horizontal partition formed with a skirt, a hat positioned in the skirt of the container, and a bearing fitted in the hat. A rotor is housed in the container and provided with a pair of spaced, diametrically-opposite blades. The rotor is formed with a shaft extending downward and rotatably supported in the bearing. An upper gasket is received in the hat and mounted around the shaft above the bearing, while a lower gasket is mounted around the shaft but below the bearing. In addition, a coupler is coaxially attached to a distal end of the shaft. The rotor and the coupler are so configured to accommodate respective weights for dynamically balancing the inertial moment produced from the spaced, diametrically-opposite blades of the rotor.

Dependent claims

A juice blender comprising:

a container (70) having a horizontal partition formed with a skirt (71);
a hat (30) positioned in said skirt (71) of said container (70);
a bearing (33) fitted in said hat (30);
a rotor (10) housed in said container (70) and provided with a pair of spaced, diametrically-opposite blades (14, 17);
said rotor (10) being formed with a shaft (13) extending downward and rotatably supported in said bearing (33);
an upper gasket (32) received in said hat (30) and mounted around said shaft (13) above said bearing (33);
a lower gasket (34) mounted around said shaft (13) below said bearing (33);
a coupler (50) coaxially attached to a distal end of said shaft (13);
and
wherein said rotor (10) and said coupler (50) are configured to accommodate respective weights (16, 62) for dynamically balancing the inertial moment produced by said spaced, diametrically-opposite blades (14, 17) of said rotor (10) when the rotor is rotated.
