A food processor for a food processor and a food processor including a grinding disk

摘要

A grating disc (4) arranged to be rotatably mounted within a food processor (1), the grating disc (4) comprising at least one grating tooth (24) for grating food to be processed, the tooth protruding from a surface of the disc and having an uninterrupted envelope surface (29) forming an outer contour without cavities where food particles can adhere during use of the food processor. The envelope surface comprises a front surface (30) extending from the disc surface to a distal end of the tooth, and adapted to be brought into contact with said food during use of said food processor. The front surface is delimited in one direction by the disc surface (23), and in all other directions by one or several grating edges (32), the front surface forming an angle (±) in the range of 60-120 degrees with adjacent portions of the envelope surface (29) along the grating edges. The present invention is based on the realization that satisfactory grating may be achieved by a relatively blunt grating edge surrounding a front surface. As a result, there is no need for sharp edges or cavities, which is typical for conventional grating teeth.
