A gear train is provided comprising a pinion gear driven by the drive shaft of the motor which is engaged with a ring gear carried about the midsection of the bowl. The circular periphery of the bowl is formed with a cutting edge adapted to separate a portion of the food bulk from its surrounding bulk.

First Claim:
Show all 5 claims |
What I claim is:
1. A powered food product scooper adapted to remove a portion of relatively hard food product from the bulk of the surrounding food product comprising:
- a tubular handle enclosing an electric motor carried therein;
- a rotatable bowl member having an annular peripheral cutting edge;
- a body portion outwardly depending from one end of said handle including an extended section cantilevered from the free end thereof;
- means cooperatively disposed between said bowl member and said extended portion for detachably retaining said bowl member thereon;
- a ring gear carried on said bowl member substantially midway between its opposite ends;
- means operably coupling said electric motor to said ring gear for imparting a moving force to rotate said bowl member in response to operation of said electric motor whereby said cutting edge engages with the food product portion desired to be removed;
- an arcuate stripper blade having one end thereof detachably carried on the free end of said body portion and disposed to extend over said cutting edge of said bowl member into the cavity thereof in close proximity to the inner surface of said bowl member;
- said cutting edge being a continuous, substantially smooth edge; and
- said means for detachably retaining said bowl member to said extended section comprising an expandable snapring carried on a bowl member shaft and a groove formed in said extended section adapted to partially receive said snapring when said shaft is carried on said extended section.
