Abstract: A blade set for an electrical knife comprises two parallel extending blades arranged adjacent with their inner faces facing and joined to one another. In use, for example, for slicing bread, the two blades are alternately reciprocated by the drive motor of the knife. Each blade has a series of indentations in its lower edge between which projecting teeth are defined. The tip of each tooth has a small concave notch, in the form of a circular arc, which extends between the edges of the tooth and which has a chamfer. The ends of this notch form two spaced points.

Abstract: A mixer arranged for crushing food materials immersed in a liquid comprises a motor unit and a mixing foot. A shaft extends within the mixing foot and is coupled at one end to the motor unit. At its other end the shaft carries a mixing screw which is housed in a cover carried by said mixing foot. The mixing screw is movable between a safety position, in which it is located in the cover, and a mixing position, in which it projects outwardly of the cover. The mixing screw is moved into its mixing position against the action of elastic restoring means by a force resulting from the screwing effect in the liquid.
