BASE FOR A FOOD PROCESSOR

摘要

A base (10) for a food processor housing a motor and including controls (26) for operation of the food processor. The base (10) includes an air intake (28), an air exhaust (36), and a baffle (38), wherein the air exhaust (36) and baffle (38) are formed as a part of the bottom (20) of the food processor base (10) and act to reduce the sound emitted by the food processor. The bottom (20) of the food processor base includes an internal cavity (30) defined partially by a support flange (32) where heated air is exhausted. The air is then forced to change directions before exiting through exhaust ports (36).
