FOODSTUFF CRUSHING AND BLENDING APPARATUS

摘要

A foodstuff crusher/blender comprises a hollow body defining a closed elongate cavity (2), access means, such as complementary screwthreads on respective ends (16, 26) of two portions of the body, enabling the introduction and removal of foodstuff into and from the cavity and a crushing/blending ba ll (30) for accommodation in the cavity. The cavity (2) is of circular shape along its length in transverse cross-section. One end of the cavity (13) is of substantially part-spherical shape with a diameter not substantially greater than that of the ball (30) whilst the other end (23) of the cavity is of substantially part-spherical shape with a diameter substantially greater than that of the ball (30). The diameter of the cavity increases progressively over at least a par t of the distance between the, two ends of the cavity.
