A container () for a blender includes a base surface () and a blade () which is rotatable on an axis above the base surface (). An arcuate wall () and two generally straight walls () extend upwardly from the base surface () and terminate at the upper end of container (). The axis of rotation of the blade () is closer to the arcuate wall () than it is to the generally straight walls (). A skirt () extends downwardly from the base surface () and has an opening. Sound baffling fingers () extend from the skirt () and into the opening. A spout () is formed at the intersection of two of the walls (), the spout () having an entry point located approximately twenty to thirty percent of the height of the walls () from the upper end of the container (). A handle () is positioned opposite to the spout () and a cover () includes a plug () to close the spout ().

An enclosure for a blender includes a body portion and a cover. The cover is hingedly attached to the body portion. The body portion of the enclosure includes a metallic foot that mates with the base member of the blender. The base member may include at least one magnet that secures the foot, and therefore body portion, in position by the magnetic force acting upon the foot. A gasket is provided between the foot of the body portion and the base member to completely isolate the enclosure from the base member, and to reduce vibrations in the enclosure during operation of the blender. The body portion of the enclosure may also include gasket strips to seal the enclosure when the cover is closed.

A D. C. tool switch assembly is provided with a pair of field effect transistors (FETs) maintained internally of the housing. The switch assembly is configured of a number of subassemblies maintained within the housing, including a contact subassembly having the motor and battery contacts and a pair of pivoting contacts. The field effect transistors are maintained on a second subassembly which nests within the housing and is substantially orthogonal to the contact subassembly. A post passes through the pair of FETs and is formed to engage a heat sink on each of opposite sides of the switch housing. The heat sinks are separate and distinct from each other and individually formed. Each of the heat sinks makes close contacting engagement with an associated one of the FETs. The post provides for interconnection between the FETs and the pair of heat sinks.

A safety shield () is adapted to be used in a machine having a blade assembly such as an ice shaving and dispensing machine (). The machine () has an ice bin () carried by a pedestal (). An ice shelf () has an opening () and is positioned in the bin (). The opening () provides access to the blade assembly which includes a shaver wheel () which directs ice to a blade (). The shield () has a ring-shaped sidewall () which is carried by the bin () and which can extend upwardly out of the bin () to increase the capacity thereof. The shield () also includes a disk-shaped hub () which is connected to the side wall () by a plurality of arms (). The hub () is larger than the opening () and is positioned over the opening () to prevent direct human access thereto. But ice may still pass through openings () between the arms () and through the opening () in the shelf () to be received by the blade assembly.
