A kneading device uniformly kneads materials to be kneaded while efficiently and quickly kneading the materials to be kneaded. A kneading device includes a kneading chamber accommodating materials to be kneaded and a pair of rotors. The pair of rotors is rotated in the kneading chamber and kneads the materials to be kneaded by a plurality of kneading blades. The plurality of kneading blades in each rotor is composed only of inclined blades inclined to the same direction in a rotational direction of the rotor with respect to an axial direction of the rotor when the rotor is developed into a planar state. The rotor has bent blades which are bent at bent portions to change tilt angles with respect to the axial direction of the rotor in the plurality of kneading blades.

A small, non-powered, handheld and finger-manipulated mixing device adapted for stirring or mixing liquids or liquid/solid combinations in relatively small volume containers. The mixing device has an elongated rod-like main body with an agitation member disposed on its distal end. The main body is provided with a bounded shaft segment that is bounded proximally and distally by transition shoulders of greater diameter than the bounded shaft segment, thus providing a region to receive the thumb and finger of the user to spin the main body, with the transition shoulders preventing excessive movement in the axial direction during rotation.

A household mixer appliance having a mixing container with an inner surface and an open top, a drive arrangement and a hook. The hook has a sole attachment portion which, when attached to the drive arrangement, abuts a first inner surface portion of the mixing container inner surface. The sole attachment portion is attachable to the drive arrangement via a through hole in the first inner surface portion such that the hook is rotatable around a substantially horizontal axis of rotation within the mixing container when the hook is attached to the drive arrangement.

A household mixer appliance having an open top mixing container, a hook and a drive arrangement. The mixing container has a side wall portion with a through hole for the drive arrangement and the hook is arranged to be rotatable around an axis of rotation within the mixing container via the drive arrangement. A seal is arranged between the drive arrangement and the side wall portion of the mixing container, and the drive arrangement includes a quick-release mechanism to which the hook is attachable.

A household mixer appliance having a mixing container and a hook with a curved elongated portion. The hook is attachable to a drive arrangement via a through hole in a first inner surface portion of the mixing container such that the hook is rotatable around an axis of rotation within the mixing container. The curved elongated portion extends in a first direction, being downwards from the axis of rotation, substantially in parallel with the first inner surface portion of the mixing container, and at least a part of the curved elongated portion extends in a second direction, forming an angle with a first plane defined by the first direction and the axis of rotation.

The invention discloses a dough kneading machine, including a main body on which a dough kneading component is mounted; the dough kneading component comprises a dough kneading bowl with a cover, in which a dough kneading drive shaft is set passing through a mounting hole on the bottom of the bowl and connecting to the main body at the lower end; a bidirectional dough kneading hook with a center shaft is mounted on the upper end of the dough kneading drive shaft; a first dough kneading hook and a second dough kneading hook with asymmetric structure are oppositely set on the center shaft and a center scraper is connected to the bottom of the center shaft. The dough kneading machine effectively ensures the stationarity during rotation operation of food processing, and the efficiency is two times as fast as that of unidirectional dough kneading hook.
