Working container for receiving and processing foodstuffs

Abstract

The invention relates to a working container ( 1 ) which is used to receive and process foodstuffs. The working container ( 1 ) is provided with a bottom ( 3 ) on which a bearing journal ( 11 ) can be placed for rotationally mounting a working tool ( 34 ) which processes the foodstuffs. According to the invention, a recess ( 20 ) is embodied in the bottom ( 3 ) of the container. The bearing journal ( 11 ) extends into said recess, whereby food which is not to be comminuted in the receiving area ( 32 ) by the usual working tool ( 34 ) can be processed, for example, by a working tool ( 56 ) of a rod mixer ( 57 ) or another working tool of a hand mixer, said working tools ( 56 ) not being able to come into contact with the bearing journal ( 11 ).

1 . A working container ( 1 ) for receiving and processing foodstuffs, having a container bottom ( 3 ) that delimits the receiving area ( 32 ), on which a bearing journal ( 11 ) onto which the working tool ( 34 ) for processing foodstuffs can be placed is secured, 
 characterised in that 
 the container bottom ( 3 ) has an annular recess ( 20 ) in which the bearing journal ( 11 ) is located.  
   
     
     
         2 . The working container according to  claim 1 , 
 characterised in that 
 the radial width (b) of the recess ( 20 ) and the length of the bearing journal ( 11 ) are calculated to ensure that upon removal of working tool ( 34 ), which engages with bearing journal ( 11 ) and working container ( 1 ) and subsequent insertion of working tool ( 40 ), which is conformed on a hand-held mixer, preferably a stick blender, the working tool ( 40 ) thereof cannot come into significant contact with the bearing journal ( 11 ) when it is positioned on the container bottom ( 3 ).  
   
     
     
         3 . The working container according to  claim 1 , 
 characterised in that 
 a blind hole ( 13 ) in which the bearing journal ( 11 ) is secured non-detachably and non-rotatably is conformed in recess ( 20 ).  
   
     
     
         4 . The working container according to  claim 1 , 
 characterized in that 
 a blind hole ( 13 ) is conformed in recess ( 20 ) as a seating socket and that a bearing journal seating ( 12 ) is inserted securely in blind hole ( 13 ), to which bearing journal seating in turn bearing journal ( 11 ) is secured non-detachably and non-rotatably.  
   
     
     
         5 . The working container according to  claim 3 , 
 characterised in that 
 the free end ( 22 ) of the U-shaped end section ( 21 ) of blind hole ( 13 ) does not protrude beyond the border ( 23 ) of the container base ( 5 ).
