Abstract: An apparatus comprising a drive motor (7) with a shaft (8) having a front end for engaging a coupling device (20) for a whisk (10), and a rear end for engaging a drive (28) housed in a cylindrical body (31) and engageable by a mixing arm, as well as a vertically movable ejector member (51) linked to the coupling device. A movable mechanical assembly (70) is provided for releasing the ejector member (51) while blocking the internal space (74) in the body (31) so that only the whisk can be fitted, or alternatively locking the ejector member (51) in the down position while unblocking the internal space (74) in the body so that only the mixing arm can be fitted.

Abstract: A hand-held electric beater-mixer comprises a drive motor (7), two coupling devices (20, 28) linked to the motor and engageable by a whisk and a mixing accessory (38) respectively, an electrical switch (71) operated by a button (67) having an "off" position, a number of "continuous on" positions and a "selective on" position, a vertical movable ejector (51), and a mechanical assembly (72) for preventing continuous operation when the mixing accessory is in place. The mechanical assembly comprises a movable member (74) which releases the ejector when the whisk is in place. The ejector has an engagement tab (53) enabling operation of the button when the ejector is in the raised position, and locks the ejector (51) in the lowered position when the mixing accessory is in place. The engagement tab (53) of the ejector locked in the lowered position locks the button (67) on the side corresponding to its "continuous on" positions.

Abstract: An exterior mirror for a motor vehicle has a base member adapted to be mounted on a vehicle body, a housing containing a reflective member and having an end face to confront the base member with a peripheral edge serving as an abutment edge which engages the base member for relative pivotal movement. A link is pivotally connected at one end to the base member and a tension spring is connected between the link and an attachment point in the interior of the housing to urge the abutment edge on the housing into abutment with the base member. The end of the link opposite to the end connected to the base member is pivotally connected to the housing and the spring is connected to an intermediate point on the link. The base member and housing are shaped to conceal the abutment edge of the housing when said peripheral edge is in engagement with the base member around its entire periphery.
