Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a blade and disk holder. More particularly, the present invention relates to a storage caddy that can safely store a variety of blades for a food processor.
  • the present invention achieves these and other objectives by providing a storage caddy that can safely store a variety of blades for a food processor.
  • the storage caddy includes a housing and a handle to enable easy transport of the storage caddy.
  • the housing can include a top portion, a middle portion, and a bottom portion.
  • the top portion preferably includes a latch to keep the top portion closed.
  • a first lever can be used to open the top portion from the middle portion, so that the accessories in the middle portion can be accessed.
  • a second lever can be used to open the middle portion from the bottom portion, so that the accessories in the bottom portion can be accessed.
  • a circular opening can be located on the bottom of the storage caddy. This opening can enable the entire storage caddy to be placed within a food processor for storage purposes. The opening at the bottom of the storage caddy can be placed over the drive shaft of a food processor and the food processor can then be closed with the storage caddy inside.
  • Fig. 1 is a perspective view of a storage caddy for a food processor in accordance with a preferred embodiment of the present invention.
  • Fig. 2 is a partially exploded perspective view of the storage caddy for a food processor of Fig. 1, showing different illustrative aspects thereof.
  • Fig. 3 is a rear perspective view of the storage caddy for a food processor of Fig. 1 in accordance with a preferred embodiment of the present invention.
  • Fig. 4 is a partially exploded perspective view of the storage caddy for a food processor of Fig. 1, showing the middle portion open.
  • Fig. 5 is a partially exploded perspective view of the storage caddy for a food processor of Fig. 1, showing the bottom portion open.
  • Fig. 6 is a bottom perspective view of the storage caddy for a food processor of Fig. 1 in accordance with a preferred embodiment of the present invention.
  • the storage caddy 10 includes a housing 12 and a handle 14 to enable easy transport of the storage caddy 10.
  • the housing can include a top portion 16, a middle portion 18, and a bottom portion 20.
  • the handle 14 can be secured to the top portion 16 of the housing 12 by one or more protrusion 15 attached to the top portion 16.
  • the top portion 16 preferably includes a latch 22 to keep the top portion 16 closed. This will enable the storage caddy 10 to securely hold food processor disks. As shown in Fig. 2, this latch 22 can be opened by pulling the top area 24 of the latch away from the top portion 16 of the housing 12. This enables a user to access any disks that may be held in the top portion 16 of the storage caddy 10.
  • the storage caddy can hold a slicing disk 26 and a shredding disk 28. By opening the latch 22, a user can access these disks 26, 28 and pull them from the top portion 16 of the storage caddy 10 for use in a food processor (not shown). A user can then replace the latch 22 by pushing the top area 24 of the latch to clasp against the top portion 16 of the housing 12.
  • Fig. 3 shows the back of the storage caddy 10.
  • a housing support 38 is located on the back of the storage caddy 10.
  • At the bottom 40 of the support 38 is a hinge (not shown) about which the support 38 can rotate when the top portion 16 is opened.
  • the housing support 38 preferably has a flat profile. This enables the top portion 16 to rest flat against a table or counter top so that the disks 26, 28 will not fall out when the top portion 16 is open.
  • Fig. 4 shows the storage caddy 10 with the top portion 16 in an open position.
  • a first lever 30 is depressed.
  • the depression of the first lever 30 rotates a first clasp 32 until the clasp clears a first hook 34 located on the bottom side 36 of the top portion 16 of the housing 12.
  • the first lever 30 is not depressed, the top portion 16 cannot be opened since the first hook 34 cannot clear the first clasp 32.
  • the first clasp 32 is rotated away from the first hook 34 so that the first hook is unobstructed. The top portion 16 can then be opened.
  • the middle portion 18 of the housing 12 there can be located several cutout or groove portions to hold various food processor accessories.
  • a first cutout portion 42 that can hold a dough blade 44 for bread.
  • the middle portion 18 can have a second cutout portion 48 that can hold a stem holder 50.
  • This stem holder 50 can be attached to the disks 26, 28 so that they may be connected to a drive shaft (not shown) of a food processor.
  • Fig. 5 shows the storage caddy 10 with the bottom portion 20 in an accessible position.
  • a second lever 52 is depressed.
  • the depression of the second lever 52 rotates a second clasp
  • a tab 60 and post 62 can be provided.
  • the tab 60 can be spring biased in the upward position.
  • the post 62 pushes against the tab 60, pushing it down toward the bottom portion 20.
  • the second clasp 54 is rotated away from the second hook
  • the spring biased tab 60 pushes up against the post 62 and the middle portion 18 of the housing 12. This assists in ensuring that the second clasp 54 does not re-engage the second hook 55 should the second lever 52 be released before the middle portion 18 is lifted from the bottom portion 20. This can also assist in preventing the middle portion 18 from being closed back onto the bottom portion 20 with excessive force, possibly damaging the storage caddy 10. Similar tab and post structure can also exist between the top portion 16 and middle portion 18.
  • the bottom portion 20 can have a third cutout portion 56.
  • This cutout or groove can hold, for example, a chopping blade 58.
  • other types of blades and attachments may be provided in this bottom portion 20 or in other portions within the storage caddy 10.
  • a circular opening 64 can be located on the bottom of the storage caddy 10, as can be seen in Figs. 5 and 6. This opening 64 can enable the entire storage caddy 10 to be placed within a food processor for storage purposes.
  • the opening 64 at the bottom of the storage caddy 10 can be placed over the drive shaft (not shown) of a food processor and the food processor can then be closed with the storage caddy 10 inside.
  • a congruent aperture 66 can be located at the bottom of the chopping blade 58, so that the chopping blade does not obstruct the storage caddy 10 from being placed over the drive shaft.
