Abstract: A rotary beater is provided which comprises a drive shaft (2) adapted to be coupled to a drive arrangement and defining a longitudinal axis (16) about which the beater is rotatable. The beater has a beater body (6), comprising a wire loop (8) which is coupled to the drive shaft (2) and which extends from the drive shaft in the direction of the longitudinal axis (16) and is led back to the drive shaft (2). The wire loop (8) comprises a first section, (I) a second section (II) comprising two upper segments (8b, 8g) and two lower segments (8c, 8f). Each upper segment (8b, 8g) is connected to the first section (I), and to a respective lower segment (8c, 8f) of the second section (II). The wire loop (8) further comprises a third section (III) for connecting the lower segments (8c, 8f) of the second section (II). Mutually connected upper (8b, 8g) and lower segments (8c, 8f) of the second section (II) define a plane (xa, xb) which is substantially parallel to the longitudinal axis (16).

Abstract: A mixing device (10) for mixing mixable substances, comprising aerating means (12) with a rotational axis (14) adapted to add air to the mixable substances and screw-shaped feeding means (16) with a rotational axis (18) adapted to transport mixable substances at least partly into the direction of the aerating means (12). With the inventive mixing device (10) it is possible to provide a mixing device (10) with which it is possible to even mix small quantities of mixable substances with good results.

Abstract: A feeding tube (101) is presented for conveying a food article to a food processing tool (104). The feeding tube (101) comprises an inlet opening (107) and an outlet opening (108), and an inner wall (112) connecting the inlet opening (107) and the outlet opening (108). The feeding tube's inner wall (112) defines a passage (111), through which a food article is conveyable in a conveying direction (109) from the inlet opening (107) to the outlet opening (108). The inner wall (112) has an adjustable inner wall portion (118) for adjusting a cross section (A2) of the passage (111) in a direction having a component perpendicular to the conveying direction (109), which inner wall portion (118) is adjustable irrespective of the food article being present. The adjustable inner wall portion (118) is integrated with the feeding tube (101).
