this invention relates to a food processors and specifically to flexible blades for food processors . disclosed is a rotatable , flexible cutting blade and a food processing apparatus using a rotatable , flexible cutting blade . the rotatable , flexible cutting blade is connected to a food processor drive mechanism and is comprised of one or more blade arms . the blade arms comprise a blade and a flexible portion where the flexible portion connects the blade to the drive mechanism via mechanical means . the blade arms start in a first position away from the plane orthogonal to the axis of rotation of the rotatable , flexible cutting blade . when the rotatable , flexible cutting blade is rotated at sufficient speeds , centrifugal forces cause the blades to move away from their first position . as the rotation slows , the blades return to their first position .
