Abstract

A blender is provided with a discharge member for removing static electricity. The blender includes a container body in which food is received, a main body to support the container body, and a container lid detachably mounted to an upper surface of the container body to open and close the upper surface of the container body. The discharge member is provided at the main body so as to discharge static electricity generated at an inside or casing of the main body.

Claims (17)

1 . A blender comprising:

a container body in which food is received;

a main body to support the container body;

a container lid detachably mountable to an upper surface of the container body to open and close the upper surface of the container body; and

a discharge member disposed at the main body so as to discharge static electricity generated at an inside or casing of the main body,

wherein the discharge member connects at least two parts constituting an exterior of the main body to each other; and

the discharge member comprises:

a vertical part in contact with a lower step ring covering a lower step of the main body;

an upper end part in contact with an upper step ring covering an upper step of the main body; and

a lower end part disposed inside an outer casing of the main body.

2 . The blender of claim 1 , wherein the lower end part includes an inclined part formed by extending at an angle from the lower end part, and an end of the inclined part being in contact with the outer casing.

3 . The blender of claim 1 , wherein a power transmission part is disposed at the main body so as to supply power to the container body, and a conduction part is disposed at the power transmission part.

4 . The blender of claim 3 , wherein the conduction part includes a copper foil.

5 . The blender of claim 4 , wherein the conduction part is disposed at an upper surface of the power transmission part.

6 . The blender of claim 5 , wherein the conduction part is disposed in contact with or adjacent to an upper step ring disposed at an edge of an upper step of the main body.

7 . The blender of claim 3 , comprising a ground bracket at a side of the main body so as to discharge the static electricity generated in the inside or casing of the main body.

8 . The blender of claim 7 , wherein the power transmission part and the ground bracket are connected to each other by a conductor or wire which allows the static electricity to flow from the power transmission part to the ground bracket.
