MULTIPLE-SPEED FOOD PROCESSING DEVICE

摘要

A multiple-speed food processing device (10) includes a drive assembly (12), a primary idler shaft (14), a secondary idler shaft (22), a gear shift assembly (28) and a control (40). The primary idler shaft (14) includes first and second drive gears (16, 18). The gear shift assembly (28) includes a shifting gear (30) disposed between first and second drive gears (16, 18). The gear shift assembly (28) is moveable to a first position (32). The first drive gear (16) is engaged with the drive assembly (12) such that the primary idler shaft (14) rotates at a first rate of rotation. The gear shift assembly (28) is moveable to a second position (34). The second drive gear (18) is engaged with the drive assembly (12) by the secondary idler shaft (22) such that the primary idler shaft (14) rotates at a second rate of rotation. The control (40) is in communication with the shifting gear (30). The operation of the control (40) moves the shifting gear (30) between the first and second positions (32, 34).
