An immersion mixer includes: a housing; a drive motor residing within the housing; a shaft attached to the motor and configured to rotate relative to the housing; blades attached to and rotatable with the shaft; a handle attached to the housing, the handle including a first segment and a second segment attached to the first segment and to the housing; and a trigger attached to the handle and operatively associated with the motor. The trigger includes a first segment that is generally parallel with the first segment of the handle and a second segment that is generally parallel with the second segment of the handle. Engagement by a user of either the first segment of the trigger or the second segment of the trigger causes the drive motor to rotate the shaft and blades.

A kitchen appliance for food processing, which has a drive shaft, a working part, preferably having a blade, which is provided on the drive shaft, a protective hood having multiple cut-outs in the circumferential direction, which protective hood surrounds the working part and has an opening in the axial direction of the drive shaft, and a preferably cylindrical accessory element. The accessory element has an outer body having a first axial end face and a second, opposite axial end face, and the protective hood, by cooperation with the accessory element, defines a cavity for processing foods which is closed in the circumferential direction of the protective hood. The outer body further has multiple, protrusions projecting inwards in the radial direction, which protrusions can be operatively connected to the cut-outs in the protective hood.

Disclosed are a cutter assembly and a fruit and vegetable cutter using the cutter assembly. The cutter assembly includes a rotating shaft assembly, a forward-rotating blade and a counter-rotating blade. The rotating shaft assembly has a first mandrel and a first outer shaft. The end of the first mandrel and the end of the first outer shaft are each provided with a first transmission part coupled to a drive device; the blades are respectively arranged in the shaft assembly and perpendicular to the rotating shaft assembly; one blade is coupled to the first mandrel, and the other is coupled with the first outer shaft, so that the blades can be driven by the rotating shaft assembly to rotate in two opposite directions at the same time. The fruit and vegetable cutter includes a fruit and vegetable cavity, the cutter assembly and a driving device for driving the cutter assembly.

The present invention is directed to a hand-held modular kitchen multitool having a universal powerhead capable of being used with a variety of kitchen appliance attachments, such as a blender, a whisker, a wine opener, a can opener, and a spice grinder. A dual spice grinder attachment is also disclosed that can select one of two spices to grind. Also disclosed is a wine opener that automatically removes a cork from a bottle.

A cooking article includes a cooking utensil and a handle that is removably connected to the cooking utensil. The handle includes a plurality of hollow seasoning compartment sections, each section configured to store grindable seasonings. The handle includes a selector switch configured to select one of the plurality of seasoning compartment sections for grinding and dispensing seasonings. The handle includes a plurality of sliding members. Each sliding member is associated with a corresponding seasoning compartment section and includes one or more grinding teeth configured to grind the grindable seasonings of the associated seasoning compartment section. The handle includes a lever configured to be pressed and released. When the lever is pressed and released, the lever moves the sliding member associated with the selected seasoning compartment section back and forth, causing the sliding member's grinding teeth to grind the grindable seasonings in the selected seasoning compartment section.

A compact cold press grinder that fits within a user's hand that includes a cold press grinder and a container that holds consumables, such as fruits, vegetables, seeds, aquatic plants, and/or other nutritious consumable. The cold press grinder crushes and grinds the consumables to a liquid paste or juice using friction forces, shear forces and pressure (e.g. hydraulic press). The cold press grinder includes a housing that is removably attachable to the container. The cold press grinder may include an input for receiving the consumables within the container and a plurality of nip roller pairs that grind the consumables. The cold press grinder has one output to output the consumable as is or the liquid paste or the juice prepared by the cold press grinder and does not include an output to output consumable waste products.

A food spinner as an attachment for an electric hand blender comprises an outer bowl, an inner perforated basket and a two-part lid. The lid assembly has a recess for receiving a gearbox assembly, comprising a gearbox and a coupling that are driven by a hand blender. The gearbox element is configured to transfer, and possibly reduce, the rotational speed of the hand blender's motor to the coupling, which in turn transfers this speed to the drive plate of the lid. When in place and rotatably engaged, the drive plate transmits rotations from the driver unit to the perforated basket which may then spin food.

A food mixing device includes a main housing, a food sensing module and a signal control module. The food sensing module is provided in the mixing portion of the main housing for detecting a temperature and predetermined ingredients of food materials mixed by the food mixing device. The signal control module is provided in the receiving cavity of the main housing and electrically connected to the food sensing module. The is arranged to transmit information about detected temperature and detected food ingredients to at least one of a built-in display unit, an external electronic device and an external audio device.

The invention relates to a hand-held electrically driven domestic appliance and to a corresponding method for controlling the hand-held electrically driven domestic appliance. The domestic appliance includes an electric motor for driving the domestic appliance; a control unit for controlling the motor; a first actuation element for outputting a first control signal to the control unit in order to select a motor control mode; and a second actuation element for outputting a second control signal to the control unit. The control unit is designed to select a motor actuation mode from the specified motor actuation modes on the basis of the first control signal, and the control unit is designed to determine a motor actuation signal to be output to the motor on the basis of the selected motor actuation mode and the second control signal.

A mixing appliance assembly includes a housing, which includes a motor and shaft operably coupled with the motor and extending outwardly from the housing. A top handle is operably coupled with a top end of the housing and includes a pulse button and a continuous run switch. A side port is disposed in the housing and configured to receive a port connecting member and includes an interlocking feature. An interlock switch is disposed inside the side port. A switch engagement member is configured to engage the interlock switch such that the continuous run switch can be depressed. A bowl clamp is engageable with the side port and configured to removably secure the housing to a bowl and includes the switch engagement member. A side handle is engageable with the side port and is configured to be removably coupled with the housing and aid a user in handling the mixing appliance.
