Rotatable tool power lock retention apparatus for food processors having a working bowl (26) with a vertical motor-driven shaft (23) extending up into the bowl (26) and in which a rotatable tool has a hub (15) removably engaging upon this shaft (23) in driving relation with the shaft (23). The tool has at least one outwardly extending food processing blade (12, 14) secured to the hub (15), such as cutting and chopping blade or a dough mixing and kneading blade. During a food processing operation, the rapid rotation of the tool blade (12, 14) with respect to the food being processed often creates a dynamic lifting action on the blade (12, 14), thereby tending to raise or elevate the hub (15) upward along the drive shaft (23). The present tool retention apparatus prevents the hub (15) from being lifted upwardly relative to the drive shaft (23) during operation and yet it enables quick, easy installation and removal of the tool. |
