  • Domestic appliances with power control
    Patent number: 10136763
    Abstract: A hand held domestic appliance comprises a handle part, a driven member, a motor for driving the driven member and a controller for controlling the motor. The handle part comprises a surface sensor for detecting a contact surface area and optionally also pressure and the controller is adapted to control the power supplied to the motor in dependence on the sensed contact surface area and optionally also pressure.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: May 21, 2015
    Date of Patent: November 27, 2018
    Assignee: KONINKLIJKE PHILIPS N.V.

  • Domestic kitchen appliance with transmission unit
    Patent number: 6550958
    Abstract: A domestic kitchen appliance (1) comprises a container (2) with a central axis (3), a transmission frame (4) positionable on the container (2) and carries a drive element (5), a carrier element (6) which is rotatably journaled relative to the frame (4) about the central axis (3), and at least two coupling elements (7,8) which are rotatably journaled relative to the carrier element (6) about individual axes of rotation (17, 18), a transmission unit (9) carried by the transmission frame (4) for transmitting a rotation of the drive element (5) to a rotation of the carrier element (6) about the central axis (3) and rotations of the coupling elements (7,8) about their axes of rotation (17, 18), a drive unit (10) for driving the drive element (5), and at least two tools (27, 28) couplable to the coupling elements (7, 8). In the domestic kitchen appliance (1) in its assembled condition,the coupling elements (7, 8) are positioned on the carrier element (6) at different distances (a, b) from the central axis (3).
