Abstract
A helical coupling assembly for a micro puree machine includes at least one protrusion on a processing bowl configured to slidably engage a slot on an interior surface of the coupling when the processing bowl is rotated in a clockwise direction. The slots are configured such that, for a certain range of rotation, the slots are not helical to prevent the bowl from disengaging during extrusion of ingredients from the bowl.
Claims18
A coupling assembly for a micro puree machine, the coupling assembly comprising:
- a bowl, an outer surface of the bowl comprising at least one protrusion;
- and
- a coupling on the micro puree machine, an inner surface of the coupling defining at least one slot for receiving the at least one protrusion when the bowl is rotated relative to the coupling in a first direction;
- wherein the at least one slot includes a first portion extending at an angle relative to a lower annular surface of the coupling and a second portion extending parallel to the lower annular surface of the coupling, the second portion configured to engage a corresponding portion of the at least one protrusion to prevent rotation of the bowl in a second direction when a force is applied to the bowl perpendicular to the second portion.

A coupling assembly for a micro puree machine, the coupling assembly comprising:
- a bowl, an outer surface of the bowl comprising at least two adjacent protrusions;
- and
- a coupling on the micro puree machine, an inner surface of the coupling defining at least two adjacent slots for receiving a respective one of the at least two adjacent protrusions when the bowl is rotated relative to the coupling in a first direction;
- wherein the at least two adjacent protrusions are spaced more than 90 degrees apart about an outer circumference of the bowl.
