Food processor

A food processor comprising:

• a work bowl having a bottom and a top opening with a central support axle extending from the bottom part way to the top opening;
• a cover having an outer surface, an inner surface and a side surface connecting the outer and inner surfaces together to form an interior to dispose therein a rotation transmitting means connecting a handle shaft which extends from the interior toward the outer surface and protrudes out of the outer surface to have a first end thereof detachably engaged by a crank handle and a central spindle which extends from the interior toward the inner surface and protrudes out of the inner surface to have a first end thereof having a polygonal cross section extend into the work bowl when the cover is mounted on the top opening of the work bowl;
• a drainer basket which has a first central column to be supported by the central support axle of the work bowl and guided thereby, said first central column having a first upper opening engageable with the central spindle so that when the crank handle is manually rotated, the spindle rotates with the rotation transmitting means to have the drainer basket rotated;
• a slicer member which has a second central column to be supported by the central support axle of the work bowl and guided thereby, said second central column having a second upper opening engageable with the central spindle so that when the crank handle is manually rotated, the spindle rotates with the rotation transmitting means to have the slicer member rotated, said slicer member having a plurality of slicing blades radially mounted on the second central column at different axial locations thereof;
• and
• a mixer member which has a third central column to be supported by the central support axle of the work bowl and guided thereby, said third central column having a third upper opening engageable with the central spindle so that when the crank handle is manually rotated, the spindle rotates with the rotation transmitting means to have the mixer member rotated, said mixer member having a generally triangular mixing blade and a generally rectangular mixing blade diametrically oppositely mounted on the third central column with a plurality of passages formed thereon to allow food to be mixed to pass therethrough;
• and
• wherein said drainer basket, slicer member and mixer member are alternately used to process food in different ways.
