Abstract: A hand blender comprises a motor unit and a tool unit. The motor unit comprises a motor unit coupling part for coupling the tool unit to the motor unit. The tool unit will be coupled onto the motor unit via the motor unit's motor unit coupling part and the tool unit's tool unit coupling part. Coupling of the tool unit directly onto the end part of motor reduces the tolerance along the longitudinal axis of the motor unit. Reduction of tolerance is advantageous as it reduces vibration and noise and as it reduces the load on the coupling parts.

Abstract: The motor unit (2) comprises a motor unit coupling part (22) for coupling a tool unit (3) to the motor unit. The tool unit will be coupled onto the motor unit via the motor unit's motor unit coupling part and the tool unit's tool unit coupling part. Coupling of the tool unit directly onto the end part of motor (20) reduces the tolerance along the longitudinal axis of the motor unit. Reduction of tolerance is advantageous as it reduces vibration and noise and as it reduces the load on the coupling parts.

Abstract: The present application relates to a lid (3) for a food processor (1). The lid is releasably attachable to a container (3) to enclose a food processing tool unit (4) which is operated by a drive unit (5). The lid (3) has a drive unit mount (28) to releasably mount a drive unit (5) to the lid (3), an attachment element to releasably attach the lid (3) to a container (2), and a locking element operable to engage a container (2) attached to the lid (3) when a drive unit (5) is mounted to the lid (3). Therefore, detachment of the lid (3) from a container (2) is prevented by the locking element when a drive unit (5) is mounted to the lid (3). The present application also relates to a food processor (1).

Abstract: When food is being blended, chopped or cut using a hand blender, forces are executed from the tool unit onto the food and counterforces are executed from the food onto the tool unit (3). These forces are both in an axial and in a radial direction. The axial forces are being transmitted to the axial load bearing (23) located in the motor unit (2) of the hand blender (1). The transmission of the axial forces to the motor unit of the hand blender, instead of absorbing these forces in the tool unit, reduces the amount of heat dissipated in the tool unit. The radial forces are being absorbed by the bearing in the tool unit.
