Abstract

This invention relates to a food processors and specifically to flexible blades for food processors. Disclosed is a rotatable, flexible cutting blade and a food processing apparatus using a rotatable, flexible cutting blade. The rotatable, flexible cutting blade is connected to a food processor drive mechanism and is comprised of one or more blade arms. The blade arms comprise a blade and a flexible portion where the flexible portion connects the blade to the drive mechanism via mechanical means. The blade arms start in a first position away from the plane orthogonal to the axis of rotation of the rotatable, flexible cutting blade. When the rotatable, flexible cutting blade is rotated at sufficient speeds, centrifugal forces cause the blades to move away from their first position. As the rotation slows, the blades return to their first position.
