Abstract
An apparatus for a kitchen appliance for handling items to be processed includes a static housing part having an upper axial face, and a rotating ring element having a lower axial face which rests on the upper axial face of a static housing part in the presence of an annular gap there between. The upper axial face and/or the lower axial face and/or the rotating ring element is hereby constructed such as to effect a radial conveying of items being processed in the annular gap.
Claims34
Apparatus for a kitchen appliance for handling items to be processed, said apparatus comprising:
- a static housing part having an upper axial face;
- and
- a rotating ring element having a radially inwardly directed cutting blade and a lower axial face which rests on the upper axial face of the static housing part,
- at least one member selected from the group consisting of the upper axial face, the lower axial face and the rotating ring element being configured for conveying items being processed in the kitchen appliance out of an annular gap between the upper axial face and the lower axial face,
- the member including at least one recessed feed channel extending obliquely in a radial direction, said feed channel having a radially outer region and a radially inner region, with the radially outer region of the feed channel provided in relation to the radially inner region of the feed channel in at least one of two ways, a first way in which the radially outer region is ahead of the radially inner region of the feed channel when the member is the lower axial face of the ring element, a second way in which the radially outer region is behind the radially inner region of the feed channel when the member is the upper axial face of the housing part.
Apparatus for a kitchen appliance for handling items to be processed, the apparatus comprising:
- a static housing part having an upper axial face;
- and
- a rotating ring element having a lower axial face which rests on the upper axial face of the static housing part in the presence of an annular gap there between,
- at least one member selected from the group consisting of the upper axial face, the lower axial face and the rotating ring element being configured for radially conveying items being processed in the kitchen appliance out of the annular gap, the member being constructed for radial conveying the items being processed in a direction of a rotation axis of the rotating ring element,
- the upper axial face of the housing part having a recessed depression on a ring-element-proximal side for collecting conveyed items being processed, the depression having a depth which decreases in a rotation direction of the ring element.
A food processor having an apparatus for a kitchen appliance for handling items to be processed, said apparatus including a static housing part having an upper axial face and a rotating ring element having a lower axial face which rests on the upper axial face of the static housing part, at least one member selected from the group consisting of the upper axial face, the lower axial face and the rotating ring element being configured for conveying items being processed in the kitchen appliance out of an annular gap between the upper axial face and the lower axial face, the member including at least one recessed feed channel extending obliquely in a radial direction, said feed channel having a radially outer region and a radially inner region, with the radially outer region of the feed channel provided in relation to the radially inner region of the feed channel in at least one of two ways, a first way in which the radially outer region is ahead of the radially inner region of the feed channel when the member is the lower axial face of the ring element, a second way in which the radially outer region is behind the radially inner region of the feed channel when the member is the upper axial face of the housing part.
