  • Patent number: 6726353
    Abstract: Handheld electric beater-mixer includes a body (2) containing an electric drive motor (6), two rotary coupling devices (20, 33) which are connected to the shaft (8) of the motor and which are adapted to receive, via respectively two engagement passages (26, 43) opening from the body (2), a whisk (10) and, respectively, a mixer foot (45), and a safety device (55) adapted to prevent the simultaneous emplacement of the whisk and of the mixer foot. The safety device (55) includes a movable mechanical member (57) adapted to block selectively one or the other of the two passages (26, 43) for engagement of the whisk (10) and of the mixer foot (45).

  • Patent number: 6637925
    Abstract: Handheld electric beater-mixer includes a drive motor, two rotatable coupling devices associated with the motor and adapted to receive respectively a whisk and a mixer foot, and an electric switch actuated by a finger piece mounted rotatably on a rotational axle and occupying a stopped position and several switched positions for the continuous operation of the motor. A spiral spring is mounted concentrically to the rotational axle of the finger piece and has a free end and a fixed end connected to the finger piece, and a safety member is movably mounted between a rest position in the presence of the mixer foot and in which the free end of the spring rests against an abutment on the safety member so as continuously to stress the spring, and the retracted position in the presence of the whisk and in which the abutment of the safety member is removed so as continuously to relax the spring.

  • Patent number: 6572254
    Abstract: Handheld electric beater-mixer including a body (2) containing a drive motor (7), a rotatable coupling device (26) connected to the shaft of the motor and adapted for the securement and driving of a mixer foot (38), which coupling device (26) communicates with the outside through a coupling opening (32), and a closure (35) associated with this coupling opening (32), wherein the closure (35) is formed by at least two flaps (46) movable between a closure position in which they are near each other, and an open position in which they are spaced from each other toward the interior of the body (2), under the direct action of the mixer foot (38) during engagement of this latter in the opening (32), the flaps (46) returning automatically to the closure position after withdrawal of the mixer foot (38).

  • Patent number: 6189441
    Abstract: A kitchen robot comprises a housing (2) containing a motor unit (4) whose output shaft (6) vertically projects from the housing and with an upper face (10) for receiving a first removable accessory (22) comprising a bowl (33) housing a rotating implement (36) integral with a vertical shaft (38) coaxially coupled with the motor shaft (6). The housing has a base (12) run through by a driving shaft (14) connected to the motor shaft (6) by a belt hoisting mechanism (16) designed for receiving a second removable accessory (24). The bowl (33) is mounted movable on a base plate (50) run through by the motor shaft (6) and which, before the bowl is fixed, is mounted flatly adjustable on the housing (2) so as to be coaxial with the motor shaft (6), and is fixed on the housing (2) after being adjusted.

  • Patent number: 6164196
    Abstract: A press for food products adapted to be reduced to a puree, comprising a working bowl (12) closed by a removable cover (21) and enclosing a rotatable press tool (23) comprising a central vertical shaft (27) which carries at least one pressing blade (30) whose external edge extends toward the lateral wall of the bowl (12), and which is coupled in rotation to a drive shaft (19) of a motor group by means of a coupling device (38). The blade (30) is maintained in contact against a sieve (40) fixed under the action of a return spring (44) associated with the blade-carrying shaft (27) so as to effect, upon turning, the pressing and the passage of the food products through the sieve, and the assembly formed by the blade (30) and the shaft (27) which carries the blade (30) being moreover adapted, in the case in which the blade (30) encounters a hard body, to rise against the force of the return spring (44).

  • Patent number: 6082648
    Abstract: Electric household appliance for processing foodstuffs, comprising a housing (2) enclosing a motor and having a base (4) on which is removably mounted a bowl (6) whose bottom is traversed by a shaft of the motor, various rotatable tools (17,25-27,49-51) mounted alternatively removably in the bowl to be coupled with said shaft, and a device (35) for storage of the tools when none of them is used. According to the invention, the storage device (35) comprises a tool holder piece (37) which is removably mounted in the bowl (6).

  • Patent number: 5567049
    Abstract: A domestic mixer comprises a base (11) enclosing an electric motor (13) whose output shaft (15) projects from the base, as well as a bowl (18) adapted to be closed by a cover (20), mounted removably on the base (11) and having a rotatable tool (24) adapted to be coupled with the shaft (15) of the motor. The cover (20) and the upper edge (40) of the bowl (18) are interconnected by at least one bolt (44) secured to the cover (20) and connected, by a transmission member (46) actuable by the bolt, to a control member (48) movably mounted through the upper portion (16) of the base (11) between a working position to which it is brought when the cover (20) is locked by the bolt (44) and in which, under the action of the transmission member (46), it actuates a switch (50) adapted to permit the starting of the motor (13), and a rest position to which it is brought when the cover (20) is open and in which it does not actuate the switch (50), thereby to stop the motor (13).
