Patent number: 5574253Abstract: A housing of a hand-held blender includes a wall fabricated from a first plastic material having at least one outer surface. The housing is further provided in at least one area with at least one second plastic material whose hardness is lower than the hardness of the first plastic material. The second plastic material is molded onto the inner surface of the wall by injection molding, such that a first area of the at least one area projects from the inner surface of the wall at least in individual sections, forming bearing areas. These bearing areas serve as supports for drive, control and switching devices. With this arrangement, the housing affords particular ease of manufacture while at the same time performing a damping function, improving the manipulation and reducing the noise level of a hand-held mixer while in operation.Type: GrantFiled: February 17, 1995Date of Patent: November 12, 1996Assignee: Braun AktiengesellschaftInventors: Jurgen Golob, Antonio Rebordosa
