Abstract
A concentric drive is provided for a food processing tool to permit a plurality of food processing heads to be removably associated with a single drive extension. Each food processing head comprises a disk member having cutting means for performing a desired food processing operation. The food processing head is formed by securing the disk-like member to a disk-mounting flange which extends axially and radially from the upper end of a disk-mounting hub having a D-shaped drive-receiving opening extending entirely therethrough with the remaining portion of the upper end being closed. The disk is flush-mounted to the flange in an orientation to present minimal interference between the cutting means and the hub and mounting flange and such that the hub is concentric with the disk-like member with the closed portion of the upper end of the hub extending to substantially the center of the disk-like member and spaced therefrom by the axial dimension of the disk-mounting flange to permit the cutting means to extend substantially to the center of the disk-like member. Alternate embodiments fuse the drive extension to the disk-mounting hub to produce a food processing tool which permits a cu…
