The height is the maximum distance of the blade tip from the socket and the width is the distance of the leading edge from the trailing edge. The blade has a maximum width that is at least 55 percent.

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 stirring system for a bucket having a sidewall configured to form an inner cavity for containing liquid therein. The system a lid having a center hole extending through the thickness of the lid; a shaft extending from a first end to a second end, the shaft is configured to extend through the center hold of the lid and into the inner cavity; a quick-release device secured to the first end of the shaft; an upper perforated stirring paddle rigidly attached to and extending from the shaft; a middle perforated stirring paddle rigidly attached to and extending form the shaft, the middle perforated stirring paddle is configured to extend in a first plane parallel to the upper perforated stirring paddle; and a lower perforated stirring paddle secured to the second end of the shaft and extending along a second plane, the lower perforated stirring paddle having a first length equal to a second length of the upper perforated stirring paddle plus a third length of the middle perforated stirring paddle.

A high-performance, energy-saving, automatic cooper-melting apparatus, includes peripherals containing a tank acting as a main body. The tank has a top capped by an upper stirring device that has a top equipped with a lid. The lid has a lower surface with a sealing pad attached thereto. The sealing pad is centrally installed with a stirring motor. The stirring motor is centrally installed with a post. The post is equipped peripherally with stirring rollers. The tank contains a probe connected to an electric cord whose two ends are connected to an air suspension blower and a DCS detecting device, respectively. The tank contains a screen plate. The tank has one lateral provided with an air pipe and an opposite lateral provided with a liquid pipe. The air pipe has one end fixed with an air pipe stirrer, and the liquid pipe has one end fixed with a liquid pipe stirrer.

Disclosed in an embodiment of the present application is a mixing apparatus, mixing machine, and cooking utensil. A mixing apparatus that can be fitted to an electric motor assembly. The electric motor assembly is able to drive the mixing apparatus to rotate for mixing food ingredients. The mixing apparatus comprises a connection part, stirring rods extended from the connection part and stirring bars. The positions at which the stirring bars are fitted to the stirring rods can be adjusted based on the type and quantity of food ingredients to increase mixing uniformity.

Apparatus that mixes non-homogenous fluid. A threaded shaft within a housing circulates fluid within a container to effect mixing. In one embodiment, when placed in a container of fluid, the housing the fluid is recirculated through opposing ends of the housing. In an embodiment of a related method for mixing, a pump housing containing a screw journaled for rotation receives fluid within a container and conveys the fluid therethrough to circulate a fluid portion in the container along an exterior surface of the housing for mixing with another fluid portion to improve fluid homogeneity. After mixing, the portion of the fluid which first circulates through the housing may recirculate through the housing with said another portion of the fluid. The fluid may be continuously mixed and recirculated through the housing.

A mixing system typically for use in a container for mixing its contents, the mixing system including a cap unit, an extension unit and a magnetic mixing unit that is attached to the cap unit by the extension unit. The magnetic mixing unit can be folded to permit insertion and/or removal of the system via a mouth of the container. The extension unit and magnetic mixing unit connect via a hinge formed by upper and lower hinge portions that meet at a pivot point. The hinge portions extend from the pivot point along a first axis. The magnetic mixing unit includes a first magnetic elongate member that extends from the lower hinge portion along a second axis that is substantially perpendicular to the first axis, and a second magnetic elongate member that extends from the lower hinge portion along the second axis in the opposite direction relative to the first elongate member. The magnetic member(s) may be provided by a plastic coated magnetic stir bar.

An assembly for a portable blender. The assembly having a housing that is configured for coupling to a container. The assembly has at least one battery, a motor electrically connected to the battery, a blade coupled to the motor, and a user input device operable to cause power to be sent from the battery to the motor so that the motor rotates the blade. At least a portion of the blade is positioned outside of the housing so that the blade is configured to be positioned in an interior space of the container when the housing is coupled to the container. The assembly may include a plurality of batteries each positioned radially outward from the motor with the batteries positioned circumferentially around the motor. A portable blender including the assembly and a container. The container having a dual-wall, vacuum insulated construction.

A rotary machine for mixing, pumping or agitating a fluid includes an impeller for acting on the fluid, a drive unit for rotating the impeller around a rotation axis, a drive shaft connecting the impeller with the drive unit, a mounting flange for fastening the rotary machine to a wall of a vessel, and a support structure for supporting the rotary machine, the support structure comprising at least one leg, each leg extending in a vertical plane from a first end along a longitudinal axis to a second end, each leg including an outer member and an inner member coaxially arranged in the outer member, and the inner member slidingly movable relative to the outer member for adjusting the length of the respective leg. In addition, a method of mounting a rotary machine for mixing, pumping or agitating a fluid to a wall of a vessel is proposed.
