Abstract

A blender having an exterior material is provided on an outer surface of a container lid. The blender includes a container body to receive food; a blender body provided at a lower side of the container body and supporting the container body; and a container lid mounted removably to an upper surface of the container body and opening and closing the upper surface of the container body, where the container lid includes a lid casing having a gasket provided at a lower portion thereof; and a lid exterior material covering at least one surface of the lid casing. The lower part of the lid exterior material extends up to an upper part of the gasket, and the lower end of the lid exterior material is bent inward.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A blender comprising:
a container body to receive food;
a blender body to support the container body; and
a container lid removably mountable to an upper surface of the container body to open and close the upper surface of the container body,
wherein the container lid comprises:
a lid casing having a gasket provided at a lower portion thereof;
a lid exterior material covering at least one surface of the lid casing, a lower part of the lid exterior material extending up to an upper part of gasket; and
a support ring provided at a lower side of the lid casing to fix and support the gasket,
wherein the lid exterior material comprises:
a side surface part covering a side surface of the lid casing; and
a bent part extending by being bent inward perpendicularly to a lower end of the side surface part,
wherein the bent part is inserted to a position between the lid casing and the support ring,
wherein the lower end of the lid exterior material being bent inward therefrom forms the bent part, and is in contact with an upper end of the support ring.

2. The blender of claim 1 , wherein a support groove is formed in an outer surface of the lid casing by being recessed inward therefrom, and the gasket is mounted to the support groove.

3. The blender of claim 1 , wherein the support ring is formed integrally with the lid casing, or is formed as a structure separate therefrom and is coupled to a lower end of the lid casing.

4. The blender of claim 3 , further comprising a support groove formed at an outer surface of the support ring by being recessed inward therefrom, and the gasket is received in the support groove.

5. The blender of claim 1 , wherein an upper end of the support ring is coupled to a lower end of the lid casing by fusion.

6. The blender of claim 1 , further comprising a support groove formed at an outer surface of support ring by being recessed inward therefrom, and the gasket is received and mounted to the support groove.

7. The blender of claim 1 , wherein the lid exterior material is made of stainless steel.

8. The blender of claim 1 , further comprising at least one slit rib formed at a side surface of the lid casing and protruding therefrom to an outside.

9. The blender of claim 8 , wherein the at least one slit rib comprises a pair of slit ribs, and a gap having a predetermined size is defined between the pair of slit ribs.

10. The blender of claim 9 , further comprising an adhesive provided in the gap defined between the pair of slit ribs.

11. The blender of claim 10 , wherein the adhesive comprises silicone.

12. The blender of claim 1 , wherein the container lid further comprises:
a lid body having a lid hole vertically formed therethrough; and
a cap removably mountable to the lid body to cover the lid hole,
wherein the lid body comprises the lid casing having the lid hole vertically formed through a center thereof, and the lid exterior material covering a side surface of the lid casing.

13. The blender of claim 12 , wherein the lid casing comprises:
an outer wall including a shape of a circular ring and constituting an appearance of the lid casing;
an inner wall having a diameter smaller than a diameter of the outer wall and having the lid hole formed therein; and
an upper surface connecting upper ends of the outer wall and the inner wall to each other,
wherein the gasket and a support ring fixing and supporting the gasket are provided at a side of the lid casing.

14. The blender of claim 13 , wherein the support ring is coupled to a lower side of the outer wall, and the gasket is in contact with and mounted to an outer surface of the support ring.

15. The blender of claim 13 , further comprising a support groove formed at an outer surface of the support ring by being recessed inward therefrom, and the gasket is received and mounted to the support groove.
