Food processor with a pulse button motor control arrangement
First Claim
1. A food processor comprising:
- a machine stand, a basin for receiving a foodstuff to be prepared, a basin lid, and at least one knife located within the basin and driven by a drive shaft that projects up vertically into the basin, a drive motor coupled to the drive shaft, a manually operable motor speed setting device, a control circuit connected with the speed setting device and with the motor to control the motor to rotate at a speed set by the speed setting device, a pulse button coupled to the control circuit for providing an electrical signal to the control circuit, wherein the control circuit controls the motor to operate at full speed from a selected, set speed in response to the electrical signal from the pulse button and for the time duration of the electrical signal from said pulse button; and
wherein the control circuit controls the motor to rotate at a speed set by the speed setting device when the signal from the pulse button ceases.

Abstract
A food processor of the blender or mixer type that includes a machine stand (1), a basin (2) for receiving the foodstuff or foodstuffs to be prepared, a basin lid (3), and one or more knives located on the bottom of the basin and driven by a drive shaft that projects up vertically through the bottom of the basin. The processor is adapted to operate at a speed set by a setting device (5) by virtue of a control circuit (6) or like device that is adapted to cause the motor (7) of the processor to rotate at a speed set by the setting device.
The control circuit (6) functions to control the motor (7) to its full speed from a selected, set speed in response to an electric signal (9) from a pulse button (8) for the duration of the signal from the pulse button (8); and in that the control circuit (6) is adapted to control the motor (7) back to the set selected speed when the signal (9) from the pulse button (8) ceases.
