Ice-crushing attachment for a multi-purpose kitchen machine

An attachment for a kitchen machine;

• the attachment comprising a kit of parts selectively configurable into a meat grinder or an ice-crusher and the kit of parts comprising a common component set including:
• (a) a hollow main body part having a processing cavity therein within which a scroll-type processing tool can rotate when driven by the machine;
• (b) a hopper for allowing meat products or ice to be introduced into the processing cavity;
• (c) first coupling means for coupling the main body part to co-operative receiving means on the kitchen machine such that said scroll-type processing tool can be driven in rotation by way of a drive outlet on the kitchen machine;
• and
• (d) second coupling means for coupling a selected apertured extrusion die to an output port of said main body part such that processed meat products or ice can exit the attachment via the die;
• the kit being characterised by the provision of:
• (e) at least one die adapted for use in meat grinding;
• and
• (f) at least one die adapted for use in ice-crushing;
• wherein said dies are configured for alternative fitment to said common component set to convert said attachment from a meat-grinding attachment to an ice-crushing attachment, or vice versa.
