A hand-held appliance having a housing with a top portion and a bottom portion that houses a motor and a temperature sensor configured to monitor the motor temperature and, if the temperature reaches a predetermined threshold, trigger removal of power until the temperature is below the threshold. The motor is controlled via a power button located on an external face of the housing. The housing includes a speed-set-button located on an external face of the housing controlling the speed of the motor and a plurality of lights corresponding to the respective speed thereof. The bottom of the housing includes a coupling portion configured to receive an attachment such as a blending assembly, whisk, frothing assembly, or other attachment. The housing further includes a sensor configured to monitor motor performance and applied load and, if the load exceeds a predetermined threshold, trigger removal of power from the motor.

A bar blender comprises a blender blade driven by a motor (16) in a main housing (10). The handle (12) of the housing has a motor speed control button (14). A separate visual display on the housing shows the user the speed setting corresponding to the current position of the control button. The visual display is based on a mechanical linkage between the control button and the visual display to cause a display element to follow the button as it is moved by the user. This is provides a simple and reliable feedback to the user.

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 hand-held housing for a multi-purpose food preparation appliance, has at least one first drive output configured to drive a removable rotary work tool, an opening configured for mounting a removable work accessory, retaining members configured to engage with a connecting element of the work accessory mounted in the opening, and a second drive output configured to drive a rotary drive unit of the work accessory mounted in the opening.

The retaining members are arranged on an outer part of a protrusion arranged inside the housing around the second drive output, the retaining members being configured to engage with an inner part of the connecting element.

An electric hand mixer comprises a housing having at least a bottom surface and a rear heel surface, a motor within the housing, one or more holes defined in the bottom surface for receiving a respective rotatable beater, and a power cord extending outward from the housing. A recess is defined in the housing. A first opening to the recess is defined in the bottom surface. A second opening to the recess is defined in the rear heel surface. The first and second openings are continuous with each other. The power cord extends outward from within the recess.

A peanut butter mixer system including: a screw-mixer formed as a continuous rod member having sequential looped coils along a length of said continuous rod member and terminating with a cutting edge; wherein said screw-mixer is powered via a motor and a power source as manipulated by a user-operator to re-mix peanut butter in a provided container.. The screw-mixer is powered via the motor and power source as manipulated by a user-operator.

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.

An implement for stirring or comminuting food including a rotatable shaft which is driven by a motor, a working part provided on an end of said shaft opposite to the motor, and an inner assembly and an outer assembly which define a housing of the implement. The inner assembly is movable within the outer assembly. The inner assembly rotatably bears the shaft such that the working part is situated on an outer side of the implement. The working part is provided within a shield which is provided on the outer assembly, wherein the inner assembly, together with the shaft, is movable axially with respect to the outer assembly. The inner assembly is borne with respect to the outer assembly such that axial movement of the inner assembly with respect to the outer assembly leads to a rotational movement of the outer assembly with respect to the inner assembly.

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.

A whipping and dispensing appliance is disclosed for use in the preparation of food products. The whipping and dispensing appliance may have a housing and a plurality of different caps so that it can transition between modes of operation. In a first mode of operation, the whipping and dispensing appliance can create a whipped food product. In a second mode of operation, the whipping and dispensing appliance can store the whipped food product, and in a third mode of operation the whipping and dispensing appliance can dispense the food product. The whipping and dispensing appliance may have multiple mixing elements to create the whipped food product and a plunger disc to help a plunger dispense the whipped food from the interior of the housing.
