Abstract
A bowl extender-actuator-and-adapter support has larger upper and smaller lower annular channel members separated by an intermediate shelf and is adapted to be mounted on the bowl of a food processor wth the lower channel member extending down into the bowl and is terminated at its lower end in a spider support web having a central opening in alignment with the rotary drive of the food processor extending up into the bowl. A plurality of radially spaced support ribs below the intermediate shelf define a plurality of mounting steps for enabling this adapter support to be mounted upon food processor bowls of various sizes. An actuator on the shelf extends downwardly outside of the bowl for activating the interlock switch of the food processor. A speed-reduction torque-increasing transmission gear drive unit positioned in the central opening of the spider is coupled to the rotary drive of the food processor and has an upwardly extending shaft for driving attachments positioned thereon at reduced speed with increased torque. A juicer attachment includes a rotating basket integral with a centrally located juicer reamer which is adapted to receive larger sized reamers in telescoped relat…
