  • Patent number: 5306083
    Abstract: A food mixer is provided with a bowl guard consisting of a fixed first semi-cylindrical splash guard portion and a removable semi-cylindrical second see-through portion pivotable about a cylindrical mixer transmission. The second portion is suspended from the transmission by spaced guide shoes mounted on a circumferential ring at the upper end of the pivotable portion. The shoes slidingly engage a fixed track extending horizontally and circumferentially around the transmission portion. The improvement consists of the track being provided as an essentially continuous bead formed in a cylindrical sheet metal band covering the transmission portion. The bead is integral with the band and may be created by rolling or spinning it into the band with metal forming tools.
