Abstract: A safety interlock device for an electrically driven household mixing apparatus includes a safety switch operatively connected with electric circuit of a drive motor of the apparatus and of an arrangement for heating a container of the apparatus, a switching rod longitudinally movable between switch-on and switch-off positions causing the switch to move respectively to its on and off positions, a holding lever pivotally mounted on the switching rod for turning between closed and open positions in which its end respectively abuts against a cover of the container and is withdrawn from the same, an arm provided with a temperature sensing element and movable between a proximal and distal positions in which the temperature sensing element respectively contacts a wall of the container and is withdrawn from the same, an actuating lever pivotally movable between a first position in which it keeps the holding lever in the closed position and through the intermediary of the holding lever keeps the switching rod in the
