[0074] Figure 1 An exploded perspective view of a cooking preparation appliance is shown, particularly comprising:

[0075] a processing bowl 10 having a side wall 11 and a bottom 12, which is shown in dotted lines and closes the lower opening of the side wall 11,

[0076] a machining tool 21 (rotating tool) which is arranged to be housed in the machining bowl 10 and which comprises in particular a rotating shaft and a cutting blade,

[0077] - a cup 14 which comprises the transmission means for the processing tool 21 and closes the processing bowl 10,

[0078] A main housing 30 arranged to cover the cup 14 and the processing bowl 10 at the upper opening of the processing bowl 10 by coupling with the transmission means of the cup 14 , the main housing 30 comprising a motor housing 31 and a control button 32 .

[0079] exist Figure 1 In the embodiment shown, the cup 14 ensures the transmission between the motor bloc 30 and the processing tool 21. Alternatively, the motor bloc 30 can directly drive the processing tool 21. Alternatively, the appliance may be without the cup 14: thus, the culinary preparation appliance may or may not have the cup 14 between the motor bloc 30 and the processing bowl 10, and if the cup 14 is present, it may or may not have a transmission.

[0080] Typically, the processing bowl 10 is arranged to receive food to be prepared, and the processing tool 21 can be arranged to process the food to be prepared. The processing tool 21 can be a chopper, a beater, a mixer, a knife, etc.

[0081] The motor housing 31 of the main housing 30 accommodates a motor for driving the processing tool 21 to rotate. The user only needs to press the control button 32 to start the motor.

[0082] Figure 2A perspective view of the processing bowl 10 is shown without the processing tool 21, without the main housing 30 and without the cup 14. The interior of the processing bowl 10 can be seen through the upper opening:

[0083] - the bottom 12 closing the lower opening of the side wall 11 comprises a bearing 121 which can receive the lower end of the rotating shaft of the processing tool 21 (alternatively, the bottom 12 can also comprise a shaft for guiding the processing tool to rotate),

[0084] The side wall 11 comprises a plurality of slide rails 111 shaped to protrude in the axial direction of the inner surface of the side wall 11 and terminate in notches 112 .

[0085] Figure 3 A top view of the bottom 12 is shown. As mentioned above, the bearing 121 is implanted in the bottom 12. Additional bores may be provided, which form non-through holes, to ensure sealing. To allow easy cleaning, the bearing 121 may be provided to be removable relative to the rest of the bottom, or for a simple construction, the bearing 121 may be provided to be integral and / or non-removable.

[0086] At the periphery of the bottom 12, on the upper surface (the same surface that carries the bearing 121) there is a scraper seal 124, and a convex (concave) counter-mold 125 is arranged to coincide with the slide rail 111 of the side wall 11. Finally, a flexible lug 122 is arranged in the counter-mold 125.

[0087] Figure 4 A bottom view of the base 12 is shown to reveal the gripping member 123 surrounded by a relief groove that allows a user to easily manipulate the base 12 by hand.

[0088] You can set:

[0089] - the bottom 12 is made of plastic material, optionally with filling material,

[0090] - the bearing 121 may comprise an over-molded or co-injected low friction ring, and

[0091] - A wiper seal 124 made of an overmoulded or added flexible material (silicone, natural or synthetic rubber, etc.).

[0092] This configuration allows the bottom portion 12 to slide in the side wall 11 from the lower opening of the side wall 11 toward the upper opening thereof.

[0093] In fact, the counter-mold 125 engages with the slide rail 111 to provide effective axial guidance, and the flexible tab 122 can cooperate with the notch 112 on the end of the slide rail 111 on the side of the upper opening to axially stop the bottom 12 at the end of the stroke. It is also possible to provide a notch on the slide rail 111 at the lower opening. However, instead of the protruding slide rail 111 and the counter-mold 125, a concave shape in the side wall 11 and a protrusion arranged on the bottom 12 can be provided.

[0094] The scraper seal 124 ensures that when the bottom 12 is slid from the lower opening of the side wall 11 to the upper opening, the prepared food is pushed away well and separated from the side wall 11 .

[0095] In summary, the bottom 12 can slide in the side wall 11 to discharge the food previously prepared by the processing tool 21: just disassemble the motor housing, remove the processing tool 21, and push the bottom 12 from the lower opening of the side wall 11 to its upper opening. In this way, the prepared food (chopped, cut, stirred or mixed, etc.) can be quickly and efficiently removed (the scraper seal 124 ensures that all prepared food is well discharged). Of course, the processing bowl 10 can be tilted or turned upside down to perform this operation.

[0096] The flexible lugs 122 are radially inclined from the lower surface of the bottom 12 (the surface carrying the gripping member 123 ), so the bottom 12 can be easily installed from the upper opening of the side wall 11 by pushing the bottom 12 and / or acting on the flexible lugs 122 .

[0097] Figure 5 It is shown that the processing bowl 10 (the side wall 11 is provided with a bottom 12 and contains the prepared food to be stored) can be provided with a removable lid 13 which comprises in particular a lid frame 132 and a drawer 133 .

[0098] The cover frame 132 may be coupled to the side wall 11 at the upper opening of the side wall 11, and the drawer 133 is configured to slide in the cover frame. Figure 5 In the drawing, it can be seen that the drawer 133 comprises a moulding cavity 131 extending from a cover frame 132 at its free end.

[0099] like Figure 5 As shown, after the processing bowl 10 is equipped with a removable cover 13, the user can invert the assembly, such as Figure 6 As shown, the bottom 12 (and the lower opening of the side wall 11) is positioned upward. The user can then place the assembly on a work surface with the upper surface of the removable cover 13 in contact with the work surface.

[0100] Figure 7 Shows Figure 6The interior of the processing bowl 10 without the bottom 12 is shown to show the slide rail 111 terminating in a recess 112 for stopping the bottom 12 , the recess 112 being located just above the surface of the drawer 133 , the mold cavity 131 being located outside the processing bowl 10 .

[0101] Figure 8 A removable cover 13 without side walls is shown, with a drawer 133 slidably mounted on a cover frame 132. Other types of attachments or mountings may be provided, such as, for example, a pivoting drawer, a rotating turntable, a drawer mounted in a sleeve, etc.

[0102] Fig. 9 Shown is a drawer 133, with the mold cavity 131 on the left and a plane surface on the right. It can be noted that the stop surface 1331 and the stop tongue 1332 are arranged to form a mechanical stop on the cover frame 132, and the stop tongue 1332 may be folded back and allow the drawer to be removed relative to the cover frame 132.

[0103] In this example, the mold cavity 131 is a circular through hole, but any type of shape or implementation may be provided.

[0104] Fig.10 A cover frame 132 is shown, which has a bore 1322 for receiving the side wall 11, and a notch 1321 for fixed connection. Two windows 1324 are provided to receive the drawer 133, and the slot 1323 is arranged to allow the tongue of the drawer 133 to pass through, so as to apply the installation orientation and avoid orientation reversal ("inversion"). In other words, the slot 1323 together with the tongue of the drawer 133 forms a mistake-proofing device for preventing the drawer 133 from being incorrectly installed in the cover frame 132.

[0105] Figures 11 to 14 Four steps of molding or shaping prepared food using the processing bowl 10 are schematically illustrated.

[0106] Again, remind you, and as above Figure 1 As shown, the cooking preparation appliance allows food to be processed. For example, in the processing bowl 10, meat or vegetables can be minced or cut, mixed with a binder, or dough can be kneaded. Figure 5 As shown, once the main housing 30 and processing tool 21 are removed, the processing bowl 10 can be provided with a removable cover 13.

[0107] After completing the configuration, you can use the component (such as Figure 6 and Fig.11 Schematically shown) is inverted together with the prepared food 200. Fig.15 Shown in detail Fig.11 The configuration of the processing bowl 10 in the configuration (which is Figure 1 , Figure 2 or Figure 6 The configuration of the processing bowl 10 is the same). Fig.15 In the embodiment, the bottom portion 12 is located at the lower end of the side wall 11 , opposite to the upper end, which includes a notch 112 terminating the slot 111 .

[0108] Fig.15 The structure of the bottom 12 can be seen more specifically in FIG. 1 , and the bottom 12 includes:

[0109] - a body 126, for example made of a plastic material with a filling material, which forms the gripping member 123, the flexible tongue 122 and the counter-mould 125 (in Fig.15 Not visible in the

[0110] - a bearing 121 embedded in a body 126 (the body 126 may be overmolded on the bearing 121),

[0111] A wiper seal 124 carried by the body 126 and advantageously overmoulded on the upper surface of the body 126 .

[0112] exist Fig.15 In this configuration, the bottom 12 is located at the lower end of the side wall 11, and the bearing 121 is ready to receive the lower end of the rotating shaft of the processing tool 21 (not shown). In the embodiment proposed, the bottom 12 is not removable relative to the side wall 11, but it is conceivable to propose a removable bottom. The flexible lug 122 allows the bottom 12 to be inserted into the side wall 11.

[0113] The drawer 133 can slide in the cover frame 132 so that the user can position the mold cavity 131 to face the upper opening of the side wall 11 (located at Figures 11 to 14 bottom), such as Fig.12 Therefore, the bottom 12 can be directly accessed from above, and the user can easily push the bottom 12 to slide downward in the side wall 11 (at Fig.12 mid-stroke).

[0114] At the end of the trip, if Fig.13 As shown, the bottom 12 acts like a piston to push the prepared food 200 out of the side wall 11 and into the mold cavity 131. In detail, the flexible tongue 122 (at Figure 3 and Figure 4 ) and notch 112 (in Figure 2 and Figure 7 ) are mechanically stopped together to prevent the bottom 12 from leaving the side wall and / or invading the mold cavity 131. Fig.16 and Fig.17 Shown in detail Fig.13 and Fig.14 The configuration of the processing bowl 10 in the configuration. Fig.16 and Fig.17In the embodiment, the bottom 12 has been pushed toward the upper end of the side wall 11 and slides in the narrow groove 111 until it is flush with the edge of the side wall 11. Fig.17 The cross-sectional view of exemplifies the flexible tongue 122 engaged and captured in the recess 112 .

[0115] After the prepared food 200 is molded or pushed into the mold cavity 131, the user can slide the drawer 133 again to take out the prepared food 200 in the form of steaks or patties. Fig.14 shown.

[0116] It is understood that the processing bowl 10 can be used for a variety of purposes, and the sliding bottom 12 allows it to be quickly and cleanly discharged. In addition, by connecting the removable lid 13, the user can shape the prepared food 200.
