ABSTRACT:
A salad spinner comprising a bowl, a colander adapted to nest within the bowl, and a lid for the bowl and colander. Drive means are associated with the lid for rotating the colander relative to the bowl. The drive means include a handle having one end for manual engagement with the opposite end of the handle being pivotably mounted to the lid. A drive gear is positioned at the opposite end of the handle, and a turret is positioned on the underside of the lid. The turret is rotatably attached to the lid and a pinion gear is provided in driving engagement with the turret. This pinion gear meshes with the drive gear whereby movement of the handle transmits movement to the turret through the pinion gear. Drive tabs are carried by the turret for engaging the colander to impart spinning movement to the colander in response to movement of the handle.
