Abstract:
Mechanical safety device for a food processor, comprising a base containing an electric motor, a shaft on which various tools can be mounted, and a bowl closed by a lid removably attached thereto, the bowl being equipped with a bowl safety rod, loaded by a spring, acting on a switch mounted in the base, the lid having at least one chute for introducing food into the bowl, a pusher being selectively introduced into the chute and being movable in a vertical direction in the chute, wherein the lid is equipped with a lid rod aligned substantially with the bowl safety rod, the pusher having a longitudinal projection bearing against a slider that is moved by the lid rod in at least one of horizontal and oblique translation to displace an upper part of the bowl safety rod, wherein the slider converts vertical downward movement of the pusher into vertical downward movement of the lid rod, and a lower end of the lid rod bears against the upper part of the bowl safety rod due to movement of the slider, causing the lower part of the bowl safety rod to bear against the switch.
