Abstract
A safety protective hood assembly for a food blender includes a fixed module including an annular supporting base having an underside defining an annular sliding groove, a slot defined in the supporting base, and a semi-conical fixed hood attached to the supporting base. A mobile module includes an annular sliding base slidably mounted in the sliding groove, a cavity defined in the sliding base, and a semi-conical movable hood attached to the sliding base to move therewith. When the movable hood is moved to a position where the movable hood and the fixed hood form a conical hood, the cavity aligns with the slot. A microswitch is attached to a supporting frame of the food blender and includes a retractable rod extending through the slot and the cavity when the cavity aligns with the slot.
