A kneading or mixing machine including a housing with opposite side walls, a motor in the housing for driving a kneading or mixing tool. A safety shield mounted to bearings for turning about an axis (A), the safety shield adapted to at least partly shield the tool when the safety shield is turned to a shielding position, the safety shield including a pair of arms. Each arm having a head at a free end thereof, a central portion of each bearing receiving the head to allow for said turning, and the central portion of each bearing communicating with an entry slit configured for insertion of the head into the central portion in a direction transverse to the axis (A).

A mixing paddle specifically designed to produce pastry dough is disclosed. The mixing paddle is comprised of a shaft, a rim, a first plurality of parallel blades and a second plurality of parallel blades. The shaft bisects the rim, creating a first side and a second side. The first plurality of parallel blades is perpendicular to the second plurality of parallel blades.

A dust cover for a stand mixer bowl includes a disc-shaped body defining a central aperture therethrough and extending from the central aperture to an outer extent and a rim extending from the outer extent of the disc-shaped body to define an interior portion of the dust cover with the disc-shaped body. The interior portion of the dust cover is configured to removably receive an upper portion of a mixing bowl with the disc-shaped body extending inwardly from a lip of the mixing bowl positioned adjacent the outer extent of the disc-shaped body over at least a portion of an interior of the mixing bowl. The central aperture is configured for a portion of a planetary hub of a stand mixer to extend therethrough with an outer surface of the portion of the planetary hub adjacent an inner edge of the central aperture.

A mixing beater for a stand mixer includes a collar configured to removably couple the mixing beater with the stand mixer. A frame is coupled with the collar and includes a pair of opposing first and second arms. The first and second arms are coupled at their respective distal ends by a frame tip. A central axis of the mixing beater extends through the frame tip, between the opposing first and second arms. A plurality of ribs extends between the first and second arms. Each rib has a rib central axis that extends orthogonal to the central axis of the mixing beater and each of the plurality of ribs is spaced from an adjacent rib to define a space between adjacent ribs.

A mixing paddle specifically designed to produce pastry dough is disclosed. The mixing paddle is comprised of a collar, a rim, and a plurality of parallel blades enclosed within the rim. An axis from the collar to a bottom of the mixing paddle bisects the rim, creating a first side and a second side.

A kneading machine for food dough includes a rotatable kneading bowl, which includes in a bottom a central opening to discharge the food dough, and a closure at or in a vicinity of the opening in an operating position by a movable closure body, and to release the opening to discharge the food dough in a discharge position. The opening is at least partially surrounded by a scraper ring fastened to the kneading bowl and operable to cause an underside thereof to contact with the upper side of the closure body to wipe off a food dough located on the closure body when the closure body is moved from the operating position into the discharge position.

A mixing machine includes a mixer body, a head extending from the mixer body and including a rotatable output member for receiving a mixer tool and a bowl support mounted to the mixer body and positioned below the head. A slideway system is configured to enable vertical movement of the bowl support along the mixer body between a lowered position away from the head and a raised position toward the head. The slideway system includes a first metal surface, a second metal surface opposed to and facing the first metal surface, wherein a relative sliding movement between the first metal surface and the second metal surface occurs during vertical movement of the bowl support, and an ultra-high-molecular-weight plastic insert disposed between the first metal surface and the second metal surface to limit friction during the relative sliding movement.
