Abstract: The invention is directed to a gear arrangement for domestic use, particularly for kitchen appliances. It has an input shaft (6) at the driving end and an output shaft (20) rotatably connected to a working part at the driven end, there being arranged between the input shaft (6) and the output shaft (20) a planet gear train comprising at least one planet gear (10), a sun gear (9) meshing with said planet gear and a ring gear (15) meshing with said planet gear (10). The planet gear (10) is in meshing engagement with the input shaft (6) on the one side and in rotary engagement by way of its axle bearing (12) with the output shaft (20) on the other side.

Abstract: The invention is directed to a lid (2) for closing a processing container (1). Provided in the processing container (1) is a spigot (4) for receiving a rotary processing tool (5) for comminuting food materials. The processing tool (5) has at its free end close to the lid (2) a first coupling member (18) adapted to be coupled to a second coupling member (17) of a driven shaft (10) when the lid (2) is placed on the processing container (1) for closing. The driven shaft (10) extends outwardly through a bore (9) in the lid (2) and has at its outer free end a third coupling member (27). The third coupling member (27) is adapted to be coupled to a fourth coupling member (33) of a drive shaft (31) of an electrically powered drive mechanism, in particular a hand-held mixer or immersion blender. An annular space (23) is formed between the outer diameter of the section (21) of the driven shaft (10) extending through the bore (9) and the bore (9).
