Abstract: Thin-walled glass-lined blender jars are disclosed. An example thin-walled glass-lined blender jar includes a thin-walled glass liner, and a plastic structural shell around the glass liner providing structural support for the glass liner. In some embodiments, a rib of a side wall of the plastic shell is positioned in a rib of a side wall of the glass liner. In some embodiments, side walls of the glass liner and plastic shell may taper inward from bottom to top retaining the glass liner within the plastic shell. In some embodiments, the plastic shell comprises a non-structural member selected for at least one of ornamentation, decoration, and/or aesthetics.

Abstract: A blending appliance includes a housing with a jar receiving area defined between an upper housing and a support base. A blender jar includes a base portion and a receptacle portion, and is configured to be laterally received within the jar receiving area of the housing. A magnetic coupling system includes an upper magnetic coupler disposed in the base portion of the blender jar and a lower magnetic coupler disposed in the support base of the housing. The upper and lower magnetic couplers are magnetically coupled to one another for driving a blade assembly disposed in the receptacle portion of the blender jar. A brake mechanism is disposed on the upper magnetic coupler and is configured to stop rotation of the upper magnetic coupler when the blender jar is removed from the jar receiving area.
