| History
An idea conquers the world
The beginnings
Roger Perrinjaquet could never have imagined that his invention
would conquer the whole world. We know little about the inven -
tor, but it was clearly his obsession to construct a hand-held, electric
food processor. Perrinjaquet applied for a patent for his “Appareil
ménager portatif“ in Lausanne at 8 pm on 6 March 1950.
The Federal Office of Intellectual Property published the invention
patent three years later, on 16 May 1953. The technical specifications
are detailed meticulously in the document. For the user
the functions are important, however. Perrinjaquet described the
handling as very easy. All that is required is to connect the food
processor to the electricity supply, put it in the container with the
various ingredients and switch it on by pressing the button. In just
a few moments the result will be perfect. The inventor saw the
big advantage of his food processor as the fact that the device
can be used directly in the container with the ingredients which
need to be processed. It is not necessary to laboriously tip one
container into the other. With this machine, people can mix,
knead, emulsify beauty products and puree soups and other dishes.
According to the information of the inventor of the first
hand-held food processor in the world. He called it bamix ® , a combination
of “battre et mixer“, to beat and mix.
