Processing container for foodstuffs

A food processing container comprising

• a container defining an interior and having a removable container lid;
• a tool shaft arranged in the container interior and having a processing tool fitted thereto, with the tool shaft being mounted for rotation in a vertical position;
• an upper bearing mounted in the container lid and supporting an upper end of the tool shaft for rotation;
• and
• a lower bearing secured to a bottom of the container and supporting a lower end of the tool shaft for rotation, the tool shaft tiltable upon the lower bearing from its vertical position with the container lid and upper bearing removed;
• and
• a stationary braking surface secured to the container bottom and disposed below the lower bearing, the braking surface arranged to engage the tool shaft with the tool shaft tilted from its vertical position, to brake rotation of the tool shaft.

A processing container for foodstuffs, comprising

• a container defining an interior and having a removable container lid;
• and
• a tool shaft arranged in the container interior and having a processing tool fitted thereto, with the tool shaft being mounted for rotation about its center axis in a vertical position by means of an upper bearing arrangement in the container lid and a lower bearing arrangement in a bottom of the container;
• wherein the lower bearing arrangement is configured such that the tool shaft is rotatably and tiltably mounted thereon, thereby enabling the tool shaft to move to a tilted position when the container lid is removed;
• wherein the lower bearing arrangement includes a stationary bearing journal having a ball head formed thereon which is received in a ball socket formed at the shaft lower end;
• and
• wherein the bearing journal is received in a cylindrical bearing journal bushing fixed in the container bottom and having a protruding upper collar, with outwardly protruding projections being provided at an outer periphery of the collar.

• wherein the shaft lower end has on its inner circumference an annular thrust face;
• and
• wherein the thrust face has bars that protrude radially inwardly.
