preferred embodiments of the present invention the bowl cover 90 is required to be in place for operation of the food processor the flap 107 of the bowl cover 90 turns 34 on 34 a snap action switch 109 which is connected in series with the motor 60 in order to enable the operation thereof an overload switch 111 cuts off power to the motor 60 in the event there is a jam or an overload projections 97 only one of which is shown most clearly in fig9 there being another projection on the side of the bowl cover 90 opposite from the projection 97 shown fit into detents 99 fig2 to lock the cover 90 into place fig1 a illustrates the food processing arrangement 13 in the assembled condition with the cover 90 in place over the bowl 50 fig1 b illustrates the food processing arrangement 13 without the bowl cover 90 in place the axis of rotation 101 of the motor shaft is offset from the axis of rotation 7 of the roller 12 which is also offset form the axis 47 of the rotation of the bowl 50 the rotational rate of the motor 60 is faster than the rotational rate of the roller 12 which in turn is faster than the rotational rate of the bowl 50 in embodiment 10 an electric motor 60 provides the rotation producing means.
