ABSTRACT:
An ice chopping apparatus is provided for a food processor having a base containing a motor and a motor-driven rotary tool drive which extends into a working bowl. The apparatus involves mounting a rotary ice chopping tool on the tool drive in the working bowl and establishing an annular channel around the chopping tool, forming an escape gap of predetermined size around the perimeter of the annular channel and feeding ice chunks into the channel. These chunks when reduced to the proper size are discharged through the escape gap and become deposited in the bowl. The gap may be adjusted for varying the size of the discharged ice fragments. The apparatus includes a removable disc-like head having a socket on the underside and preferably two radially spaced blades protruding upwardly from the disc-like member, with their front edges chopping the ice. The socket receives a removable shank of the same geometrical shape coupled on the other end to the rotary drive. The shank has a key which fits into spaced key-shaped channels in the socket, extending to different depths therein for varying the size of the escape gap between the annular channel and the rotary tool, thereby varying the size of the ice fragments produced. The annular channel has a cylindrical skirt extending downwardly from an upstanding peripheral rim which fits onto the bowl for receiving a cover which includes auxiliary actuator cams to actuate the motor drive.
