Abstract
A blending device (100) is provided including a blade assembly (106) having a blade coupling structure, the blade coupling structure comprising a set of blade electrical connectors (128). The blending device also includes a blender base assembly (104) having a base coupling structure, the base coupling structure comprising a plurality of base electrical connector coupler sets (130A-130C). Each base electrical connector coupler set corresponds with a coupling position of the blade coupling structure and the base coupling structure. The blade assembly and the blender base assembly are electrically coupled in a closed configuration in which the set of blade electrical connectors is in contact with one of the plurality of base electrical connector coupler sets. A method of manufacturing the blending device is also provided.
