Abstract:
1. A system of nesting various sized food processor bowls, said system comprising a generally cylindrically-shaped first bowl having a first bowl inner diameter; a first bowl inner detent mechanism adjacent to a rim of said first bowl on an inner wall of said first bowl, said inner detent mechanism being female in shape and having a height that is less than ½ of a height of said first bowl; a generally cylindrically-shaped second bowl having a second bowl outer diameter that is less than the first bowl inner diameter; and a second bowl outer detent mechanism adjacent to a rim of said second bowl on an outer wall of said second bowl, said outer detent mechanism being male in shape and having a height that is less than ½ of a height of said second bowl, said second bowl outer detent mechanism being adapted to frictionally engage said female first bowl inner detent mechanism to retain said second bowl in said first bowl; wherein said height and location of said inner and outer detent mechanisms permit said second bowl to be nested substantially within said first bowl without said outer detent mechanism of said second bowl being engaged with said inner detent mechanism of said first bowl; and wherein said height and location of said inner and outer detent mechanisms are such that said second bowl is not held in spaced relation to said first bowl such that said rim of said second bowl is in contact with said rim of said first bowl in stacked relationship such that said second bowl is supported by said rim of said first bowl when said second bowl is nested within said first bowl.
