A mixer for combining food constituents into a homogeneous mass includes an eccentric drive mounted on a mixing head of the mixer, where the eccentric drive is configured to rotate around a central axis of a mixing area and rotate an offset rotational axis of a drive shaft in an orbit about the central axis of the mixing area. An angled beater attachment for the mixer further includes a top mounting portion operably coupled to the drive shaft of the stand mixer, a bottom beater portion disposed above the mixing area, and a beater support member operably coupled with a support shaft of the bottom beater portion. The bottom beater portion is driven by the drive shaft about an angled rotational axis that extends at an acute angle relative to the central axis of the mixing area.

A stand mixer is provided having a pivotable head and a sliding stand for receipt of a bowl or other container. The head and bowl stand are pivotally linked such that as the head pivots an axis, the bowl stand moves simultaneously along a vertical direction. A plurality of linkages may be connected between the head and bowl stand to provide for such simultaneous movement.

A drivetrain for coupling a motor to a mixer shaft within a mixer includes a sun gear connectable to a rotor of the motor. The drivetrain also includes a plurality of stepped planetary gears. Each of the stepped planetary gears includes a first tooth section and a second tooth section. A first ring gear is mounted such that the first ring gear is fixed. The first ring gear and the sun gear are meshed with the stepped planetary gears at the first tooth section. A second ring gear is meshed with the stepped planetary gears at the second tooth section. The sun gear, the stepped planetary gears, the first ring gear, and the second ring gear collectively form a single stage planetary gear set of the drivetrain.

The present invention is directed to a food processor having a lid with a pour spout. The spout includes a wide mouth opening for easy introduction of food and liquids, and has a body that protrudes into the interior of the processor container. The spout body narrows as it extends into the interior of the container and is angled so that it points toward the center of the container. This helps to prevent splashback of food as its chopped while the food processor is operating.

A bowl assembly for a micro puree machine includes a beaker removeably attachable to a beaker coupling located inside a bowl. The beaker coupling operatively couples to a drive motor assembly for rotation of the beaker coupling and the beaker relative to the bowl. The bowl in turn locks onto a bayonet structure on a base of the micro puree machine, which secures the bowl in position on the base while the beaker coupling and the beaker rotate.
