    摘要: A drive assembly for a blender appliance includes an output drive shaft and an inner one-way bearing member received in an interior cavity of the output drive shaft. An outer bearing member is oppositely configured relative to the inner one-way bearing member and includes a receiving bore. The receiving well of the output drive shaft is received in the receiving bore of the outer one-way bearing member. An input drive shaft includes a first end received in a receiving bore of the inner one-way bearing member. A planetary gear system includes a sun gear that is operably coupled to the input drive shaft and gearingly engaged with a ring gear through a plurality of planet gears. A carrier member is operably coupled to the plurality of planet gears and includes a receiving bore in which the outer one-way bearing member is received for rotation therewith.

    摘要: A food processing container includes a food processing chamber and a cover assembly with a latch mechanism operable between latched and unlatched positions. The latch mechanism includes a first magnetic member disposed therein. An interlock assembly is disposed outside of and adjacent to the food processing chamber and includes a sealed cavity with a plunger member moveable disposed within the sealed cavity. The plunger is operable between at-rest and actuated positions within the sealed cavity and includes upper and lower magnetic members disposed at opposite ends of the plunger member. The plunger member moves to the actuated position as the latch mechanism moves to the latched position due to a repulsion force between the first magnetic member and the upper magnetic member, and further wherein the lower magnetic member moves into the lower portion of the sealed cavity as the latch mechanism moves to the latched position.

    摘要: A coffee grinding apparatus includes a removable holder assembly having first and second arms that are spaced-apart from one another to define an open receiving area therebetween. The arms each include upper and lower tabs that extend inwardly into the open receiving area first and second distances, respectively. The first and second distances of the upper and lower tabs are configured to retain and support portafilter assemblies of various sizes for filling with coffee grounds using the coffee grinder apparatus. Another holder assembly for use with the coffee grinding apparatus may include opposed abutment surfaces for engaging inner and outer surfaces of a cup portion of various sized portafilter assemblies. Each disclosed holder assembly is configured to attach to a pedestal portion of the coffee grinding apparatus in use, and can be stored in a support base of the coffee grinding apparatus when not in use.
