Abstract
A container (15) for a blender (10) includes a bottom surface (16) having a non-symmetrically shaped perimeter. A side wall (17) extends upwardly from the perimeter of the bottom surface (16). A mixing blade assembly (20) having a plurality of blades (21) is located above the bottom surface (16) and is rotatable on an axis which is displaced from the center of the bottom surface (10). Nonuniform spaces (25, 26) are thus created between the ends of the blades (21) and the side wall (17). The bottom surface (16) is inclined at an angle relative to the plane normal to the axis of rotation of the blade assembly (20), and it, as well as the side wall (17), may be provided with a plurality of spaced vanes (31, 32).
Claims13
A container for a blender comprising a blade assembly rotatable on an axis, a curved side wall, a side wall surface opposed to said curved side wall, and a substantially flat wall on each side of said curved side wall, each said flat wall intersecting said surface, said curved side wall being closer to said axis than the intersections of said flat walls and said surface.
A container for a blender comprising a blade assembly rotatable on an axis, a bottom surface and a sidewall extending upwardly from said bottom surface, said sidewall including a first surface, a second surface and a pair of substantially flat surfaces on each side of said first surface, each said flat surface intersecting said second surface, said first surface being closer to said axis than the intersections of said flat surfaces and said second surface.
