    Abstract: Blender and food processing devices are described that dampen impact forces between a blending blade and a blending jar. An example blender includes a blender base and a blending jar that has a seal opening. A blending blade assembly in the jar includes a blending blade, a jar shaft attached to the blending blade and extending through the seal opening, a circular motion guide positioned around the jar shaft, and a jar seal positioned between the circular motion guide and the seal opening. The jar seal prevents contact between the circular motion guide and the seal opening and dampens forces induced by relative motion between the seal opening and the blending blade, jar shaft, and/or circular motion guide. A motor in the blender base drives the jar shaft to rotate the blending blade in the blending jar. The dampening may reduce wear or damage to the jar and may improve quality of the blending jar and blade assembly.

    Abstract translation: 描述了搅拌器和食品加工装置,其抑制混合叶片和混合罐之间的冲击力。 一个示例性的搅拌机包括一个搅拌器基座和一个具有密封开口的混合罐。 混合刀片组件在罐中包括混合刀片,连接到混合刀片并延伸穿过密封开口的罐轴,围绕罐轴定位的圆形运动引导件和位于圆形运动引导件和密封件之间的罐密封件 开放 罐密封件防止圆形运动引导件和密封件开口之间的接触,并且抑制由密封开口和混合刀片,凸轮轴和/或圆形运动引导件之间的相对运动引起的力。 搅拌机底座中的电机驱动油罐轴将混合叶片旋转到混合罐中。 润湿可以减少对罐的磨损或损坏,并且可以提高混合罐和刀片组件的质量。

    Abstract: An ice dispensing assembly includes a hopper, a metering disk, a shelf member, and a separating wall. The hopper includes an outlet opening defined in a bottom end of the hopper, and an ice inlet defined in a top end of the hopper. The metering disk is positioned in the hopper and includes a plurality of cavities. The shelf member is arranged to at least partially shield the cavities from a supply of ice held in the hopper. The metering disk is rotatable relative to the hopper between a first position wherein at least one cavity is exposed to the supply of ice to be filled with ice, and a second position wherein the cavity is separated from the supply of ice by the separating wall and ice in the cavity is dispensed through the outlet opening.
