A FOOD PROCESSING DEVICE WITH AN EXTERNALLY OPERATED ADJUSTMENT MECHANISM

摘要

A food processor includes a base (12) and a bowl (20) with a removable lid (22). Food items are advanced into the bowl (20) through a feed tube (24) formed in the lid (22) where they are cut by a cutting assembly (16) driven by a motor (14). The cutting assembly (16) is adjustable to vary the thickness of the cut food items. An adjustment assembly (42) positioned in the base (12) is operable to adjust the cutting thickness of the cutting assembly (16) while the cutting assembly (16) is driven by the motor (14).
