Pedal activated motor attachment for a hand operated food grinder

A pedal activated motor attachment for a hand operated food grinder having a grinder shaft and an attachment screw having a shaft engageable to the grinder shaft, the motor attachment comprising:

• a motor positioned within a housing, said motor having a transmission axle extended outwardly therefrom and a first gear positioned adjacent a distal end of said transmission axle;
• a pin coupled to the housing and a second gear coupled to said pin, said second gear rotationally engaged to said first gear such that rotation of the first gear rotates the second gear;
• said housing having an upper portion having a front face and a rear face, said front face having an aperture therein adapted for receiving the grinder shaft of the food grinder;
• a drive gear positioned within said upper portion of the housing, said drive gear being rotationally engaged to said second gear such that rotation of the second gear rotates said drive gear;
• said drive gear having a substantially centrally positioned socket adapted for snugly receiving the grinder shaft such that rotation of the drive gear rotates the grinder shaft, said socket being adapted for removable coupling to said grinder shaft to permit intermittent manual operation of said food grinder;
• said rear face having an aperture therein adapted for receiving the shaft of the attachment screw such that the shaft of the attachment screw is removably engageable to the grinder shaft when the grinder shaft is received by the socket in the drive gear whereby the drive gear is coupled to the grinder shaft;
• an electric cord electrically coupled to said motor and extending outwardly through said housing;
• and
• a foot pedal electrically coupled to a distal end of said power cord such that said motor is actuatable by depression of said foot pedal.
