摘要： Provided is a blending system comprising a cup and a motor base. The motor base may include a sipping mechanism and a plug that operatively opens and closes access to the sipping mechanism. In a closed position, the plug may seal the sipping pathway at or near the internal wall and at or near the external wall. In an open position, the plug may insert into a plug receptacle adjacent the sipping pathway. The plug receptacle and sipping pathway may be sealed from contents of the cup in a closed position. The electrical components of the motor base, such as one or more of the motor, battery, drive shaft, and blade assembly, may be offset from a central axis of the motor base to accommodate the sipping mechanism. The blending system may be portable.

摘要： Provided are methods, systems, and apparatuses for instituting a quiet blending mode. A method includes capturing, via at least one sensor, one or more sound and/or vibration inputs from a blender, comparing the one or more sound and/or vibration inputs to a threshold parameter, and transmitting a command to a blender motor to reduce power when the one or more sound and/or vibration inputs exceed the threshold parameter.

摘要： A blending container for retaining foodstuff to be blended by a blender, the blending container may include an outer sleeve having an inner surface and at least one interlock tab extending therefrom. An inner liner having a wall that extends from a perimeter of a bottom to define a cavity to retain the foodstuff to be blended, wherein at least a portion of the wall of the inner liner frictionally engages against a portion of the inner surface of the outer sleeve. The inner liner may be made from a disposable material. The inner liner may include a rim that defines an opening such that the rim is configured to abut against a blade base. The inner liner may include a size of at least one of 8, 12, and 16 fluid ounces and the outer sleeve may be configured to receive the inner liner of various sizes.

摘要： A food processor assembly is provided with a bowl with a substrate sized to be supported upon a blender base, and a sidewall to collectively define a bowl cavity to receive food products. A planetary gear transmission is supported upon the bowl substrate with a rotary input sized to receive a blender rotary output. A first transmission rotary output extends into the bowl cavity to provide a reduced rotation from the rotary input. A blade is connected to the first transmission rotary output for rotation relative to the bowl substrate to perform a cutting operation to a food product. The blade has a first cutting edge formed adjacent the first transmission rotary output to perform a continuous cutting operation to the food products. The blade has a second cutting edge spaced radially from the first transmission rotary output to perform a sequential cutting operation to the food products.
