Abstract
A portable and rechargeable blender is disclosed. Exemplary implementations may include a base assembly, a container assembly, and control circuitry. The base assembly may include a rechargeable battery configured to power an electrical motor such that, during blending by the blender, no power is supplied to the electrical motor from an external power source.
Claims14
A blender configured to blend foodstuffs, the blender comprising:
- a base assembly, a container assembly, a set of one or more blades, and control circuitry, wherein the set of one or more blades is configured to rotate and blend the foodstuffs;
- wherein the base assembly includes:
- an electrical motor configured to drive the rotation of the set of one or more blades, wherein the electrical motor is integrated into the base assembly;
- a rechargeable battery configured to power the electrical motor such that, during blending by the blender, no power is supplied to the electrical motor from an external power source, wherein the rechargeable battery is integrated into the base assembly;
- a standardized charging interface configured to conduct electrical power to the rechargeable battery;
- a power button configured to be engaged manually by a user to turn the blender on and off;
- and
- a first mechanical coupling configured to couple the base assembly to the container assembly;
- wherein the electric motor, the rechargeable battery, the standardized charging interface, the power button, and the first mechanical coupling are integrated such that the base assembly forms an integral whole;
- wherein the container assembly is configured to hold the foodstuffs within a container body during blending by the blender, the container assembly including:
- a proximal end that is open and that is disposed, subsequent to the base assembly being coupled to the container assembly, near the set of one or more blades;
- a distal end opposite the proximal end;
- and
- a second mechanical coupling disposed at or near the proximal end, wherein the second mechanical coupling is configured to engage the first mechanical coupling of the base assembly to couple the base assembly to the container assembly;
- and
- wherein the control circuitry is configured to:
- control charging of the rechargeable battery through the standardized charging port;
- and
- control the electrical motor during rotation of the set of one or more blades.
