DISPENSING BLENDER

A dispensing blender for blending foodstuff and dispensing foodstuff therefrom. The dispensing blender includes a base enclosing a motor, a jar removably mountable to the base, a collar removably mountable between the base and the jar and a dispensing spout mounted to the collar. At least a portion of the dispensing spout is movable to an open position wherein foodstuff within the jar is able to flow from the jar, through the collar and out of the dispensing spout and a closed position wherein the foodstuff is blocked from flowing out of the dispensing spout. A cup actuation lever mounted to the base is movable to a dispensing position wherein the dispensing spout is urged to the open position and a resting position wherein the dispensing spout is urged to the closed position. A switch is mounted to the base proximate to the cup actuation lever so that when the cup actuation lever is moved to the dispensing position, the switch is actuated to a closed condition by the cup actuation lever, the switch being electrically connected so that actuation of the switch to the closed condition causes the motor to operate to thereby rotate the tool when the dispensing spout is in the open position and foodstuff is flowing out of the dispensing spout.
