ABSTRACT:
A convenient feedtube protector and single-motion cover lifting structure is provided for a food processor of the type including a housing containing an electric motor drive and control means for rendering the motor drive inoperative unless the control means are actuated. The food processor can be actuated when and only when both the cover and the feedtube protector are properly positioned, such that the control means become actuated to permit operation of the motor drive, thereby preventing inadvertent insertion of a hand or foreign object through the feedtube while the tool is being driven. The feedtube protector and the cover are separate items, and therefore the normal procedure for removing the cover from the bowl is to remove the feedtube protector first and set it down on a counter and then to remove the cover. In accordance with the present invention, a lateral access opening is provided in the outer sleeve of the feedtube protector for exposing the feedtube to the grasp of the user. Accordingly, when the protector is grasped with the thumb on one side and with the fingers on the other, either the thumb or the fingers press directly through the lateral access opening onto the feedtube. Thus, when the hand is raised, the cover is automatically and simultaneously lifted together with the feedtube protector in a single, convenient motion using one hand.
