Abstract: A domestic kitchen appliance (1) comprises a container (2) with a central axis (3), a transmission frame (4) positionable on the container (2) and carries a drive element (5), a carrier element (6) which is rotatably journaled relative to the frame (4) about the central axis (3), and at least two coupling elements (7,8) which are rotatably journaled relative to the carrier element (6) about individual axes of rotation (17, 18), a transmission unit (9) carried by the transmission frame (4) for transmitting a rotation of the drive element (5) to a rotation of the carrier element (6) about the central axis (3) and rotations of the coupling elements (7,8) about their axes of rotation (17, 18), a drive unit (10) for driving the drive element (5), and at least two tools (27, 28) couplable to the coupling elements (7, 8). In the domestic kitchen appliance (1) in its assembled condition,the coupling elements (7, 8) are positioned on the carrier element (6) at different distances (a, b) from the central axis (3).

Abstract: A mixer tool (8) for an ice-cream maker is provided which is insertable centrally into a cylindrical container (1) of the ice-cream maker and is operable there in rotation and which has at least one scraper (12, 13) projecting from a central shaft (6) and acting with the walls of cold cartridge 3 through its scraper edges (16, 17) and which also has at least one stirrer (14, 15) projecting from a central shaft (6), effective at least in the vicinity of the container wall (7), the stirrer effecting in the container flow at least directed from bottom to top of an ice-cream mixture filled into the latter. The stirrer also has at its free upper end close to the container wall a knife-shaped scraper (20, 21) projecting over the stirrer and acting together with the container wall to prevent formation of ice cream deposits above the stirrer.

Abstract: A depilation apparatus is provided which comprises at least one pair of depilation rollers (3, 4; 5, 6) arranged at the location of an opening (2) in the apparatus for access to their circumferential surfaces, which rollers are rotatably supported, which are rotatable in opposite directions, and which cooperate circumferentially with one another, the depilation rollers being supported to project freely with one of their end portions and the opening in the apparatus at least partly exposing the freely projecting end portions of the depilation rollers.

Abstract: A discoid cold cartridge filled with a latent heat storage medium, is formed from at least two parts joined together, of which one part includes the discoid main wall facing the scraper and stirrer tool and the other part of a trough-shaped base. The discoid main wall serving to act together with the scraper and stirrer tool has an inherently stable, curved shape and at least one wall of the base is reversibly adaptable to the change in volume of the latent heat storage medium in phase transition.

Abstract: Apparatus for sharpening knives, scissors, and the like comprises a housing forming an enclosure having two oppositely disposed walls each provided with an opening, such openings being coaxially aligned. A motor is mounted on the outer side of one of these oppositely disposed walls, the motor having a shaft extending through the opening in the one wall into the enclosure. A second shaft extends through the opening in the other oppositely disposed wall. A grinding wheel is fastened to the end of the second shaft positioned outside the enclosure. Provision is made for connecting the motor shaft to the other end of the second shaft to rotatably drive the second shaft and to enable axial movement of the motor shaft and the second shaft with respect to each other. A pair of axially spaced radial flanges is mounted on the second shaft within the enclosure.

Abstract: In an electric motor comprising a U-shaped laminated stator core, whose two limbs each carry an exciter winding, a rotor mounted on a motor shaft, and two bearing shields, one bearing shield is provided with at least three sword-shaped projections, of which at least two projections enclose the outer sides of the two limbs of the laminated stator core and of which a third projection is arranged between the two limbs of the laminated stator core, the last-mentioned projection being provided with a T-shaped member, whose transverse limb is positioned against the yoke of the laminated stator core from the inner side. The other bearing shield is formed with openings through which the free ends of the projections extend and can be secured from the outer side of this bearing shield.
