Title:

BLENDER WITH ELEVATOR ASSEMBLY AND REMOVABLE SPINDLE

Document Type and Number:

WIPO Patent Application WO/2014/004744

Kind Code:

A3

Abstract:

A blender that is rugged enough to blend frozen beverages, simple to use and safe. The blender includes an upper housing with a front housing door that covers the moving blending machinery. The blender also includes a cupholder receiving area which allows the user to safely insert a frozen food or beverage cup inside a cupholder for blending. After the start button is pressed, the cup and cupholder will be lifted together for blending in a balanced, linear motion by an elevator assembly. Dual lead screws or a dual belt drive are preferably used in the elevator assembly to achieve this balanced, linear motion. As the cup holder is lifted upward, a cover will be pressed over the top opening of the inserted cup to prevent spillage during blending. To facilitate cleaning, the spindle assembly is preferably removable from the blender through use of a quick release coupling mechanism.
