Blender Container with Child Hand Guard

Abstract

A portable blender apparatus having a hand guard includes a motor base having a control for controlling the operations of a blade assembly coupled to the motor base. A container for the portable blender has a proximal portion which couples to the motor base, and a distal portion away from the motor base. The distal portion is configured with an attachment mechanism for receiving a removable lid, which may be used to seal material in the container. The distal portion includes a plate guard, which is a substantially planar member extending inward from an outer circumference of the distal portion. The plate guard has an aperture of reduced circumference relative to the distal portion, and the aperture is separated from the blade assembly a predetermined distance.
