ABSTRACT:
A continuous output food processor is provided which includes a housing having an electric motor drive and a bowl mountable on the housing for enclosing a rotary food processing tool which is rotatable within the bowl by the motor drive. A removable cover adapted to be secured in position on the bowl has a feed tube forming a passageway for feeding food items into the bowl. A chute is positioned on the bowl which is adapted to direct food processed by the food processing tool out of the bowl into a larger external container. An inclined ramp is mounted on the bowl beneath the food processing tool, said ramp extends on a downward slope toward the chute for causing food processed by the rotary tool to be deposited on the ramp to slide down the ramp and out of the chute into an external container positioned under the chute. The chute is provided with an openable lid coupled to an electric motor drive control for automatically turning off the food processor whenever the lid is elevated. This interaction of the openable lid and motor drive control facilitates cleaning or clearing of food items from the chute, without requiring the removal of the cover, thus saving time as well as protecting the user by preventing operation of the tool whenever the lid is opened.
