  • Electric mixers of the kind described above are well known, and well established in use for many years, and they have been progressively adapted and developed so as to perform an ever broadening range of functions.
  • stand mixer arrangements have been developed to incorporate heating means, enabling ingredients in the bowl to be heated whilst being subjected to the mixing action. The degree of heating is selectable, allowing the ingredients to be completely cooked, partially cooked, or merely warmed, according to user requirements and/or the procedures dictated by individual recipes.
  • an electric mixer comprising an electric motor, a base, a stand member and an arm member presenting at least one drive outlet for a mixing tool, said drive outlet being powered from said electric motor; the mixer further including first articulating means adapted to permit said arm member to be folded towards and away from said stand member, and second articulating means adapted to permit said stand member to be folded towards and away from said base; wherein the stand member is formed with a receptacle dimensioned to accommodate said arm member when folded fully against the stand member and wherein the base is formed with a receptacle dimensioned to accommodate said stand member; whereby, in a storage condition of said mixer, the receptacle in the base accommodates the stand member with the arm member accommodated in the receptacle in the stand member.
  • the mixer adopts an extremely compact storage condition.
  • the receptacles provided in said base and said stand member comprise apertures or pouch-like or pocket-like depressions.
  • the type of receptacle provided in the base may differ from that of the receptacle provided in the stand member.
  • temporary latching means are provided to latch the components securely in their operative position.
  • the latching means comprises sprung bearings urged against arcuate tracks; the arcuate tracks terminating in respective hemispherical recesses adapted to accommodate said bearings.
  • the folding movements of the arm member relative to the stand member and of the stand member relative to the base are performed by direct user manipulation of the components.
  • the mixer is adapted to provide compact storage with good economy.
  • the folding movements may be spring- assisted and/or damped.
  • electric motor means are provided to implement one or both of said folding movements.
  • the electric motor means for the or each folding movement may comprise a respective dedicated electric motor or a transmission system powered by said first-mentioned electric motor.
  • the arm unit supports at least one further drive outlet, powered from said motor; said further drive outlet having performance characteristics different from those of the first- mentioned drive outlet.
  • the receptacle in said base consists of or is provided with an aperture through which the further drive outlet is exposed when the mixer is folded into its storage condition.
  • the mixer can be inverted, in its storage condition, so that a food processor or a blender can be mounted thereon and powered thereby.
  • the arm member is formed into first and second sections capable of relative rotation about an axis extending along the arm member.
  • the first section is remote from the stand member and supports said drive outlets whereas the second section is foldably connected to the stand member.
  • the first section of the arm member can be rotated relative to the second section, so as to interchange the position of the drive outlets.
  • the second drive outlet is exposed upwardly once the mixer has been folded into its storage condition.
  • the rotational movement of the first section of the arm member relative to the second section thereof is performed by direct user manipulation. By this means, the required movement is provided economically.
  • electric motor means are provided to implement the relative rotational movement between the first and second sections of the arm member.
  • the electric motor means for the rotational movement may comprise a respective dedicated electric motor or a transmission system powered by said first-mentioned electric motor.
  • the stand member comprises an upper section and a lower section; the upper section being articulated to said arm member by means of said first articulating means and the lower section being articulated to said base by means of said second articulating means; the upper and lower sections of said stand member being capable of relative rotational movement about an axis extending along said stand member.
  • any feature in one aspect of the invention may be applied to other aspects of the invention, in any appropriate combination.
  • method aspects may be applied to apparatus aspects, and vice versa.

  • Figure 1 shows, in perspective view, a stand mixer in accordance with one embodiment of the invention, set into an operational condition
  • Figure 7 shows how the mixer can be configured to process ingredients in a bowl placed behind the mixer's base.
  • the bowl 60 and the shanked tool 50 are removed, and the arm member 40 is turned, about axis 32, towards the stand member 30, and thereby folded into the receptacle 34 provided for it in the stand member 30.
  • the stand member 30 (with the arm member 40 thus accommodated therein) is folded into the pocket, pouch or aperture 24 provided for it in the stand 20, providing an extremely compact unit, as shown in Figure 2.
  • the base 20 is the primary structural component, and it is configured to support, for operation, both the stand member 30 and the arm member 40.
  • the stand member 30 is hinged to one end of the base 20 so that it can rotate, about the aforementioned horizontal axis 22, relative to the base 20.
  • This articulation about axis 22 effectively allows the stand member 30 to be raised up to the operating position in which the mixer 10 can be used as a stand mixer (as shown in Figure 1); or folded down, either for storage (as shown in Figure 2) or for use as a driver for a food processor or a blender (as shown in Figure 5) as will be described later.
  • the movement of the stand member 30 about axis 22 relative to the base 20 can thus be restricted to 90 degrees but, as mentioned above, the articulation can be made to extend through a greater angle if preferred, depending upon the functionality and configuration required of the mixer 10.
  • One particularly beneficial arrangement afforded by rotating the outer section 46 of the arm member 40, about the longitudinal axis 41, relative to the arm member's rear section 48, provides a configuration in which the drive outlets 42 and 44 are positioned horizontally.
  • the tool is preferably operated within a special purpose housing provided with a closable exit aperture, so that the processed foodstuffs can be allowed to build up to a usable quantity within the housing before the exit aperture is opened to allow the foodstuffs to fall into the bowl.
  • section 36, about axis 39, with respect to section 38 of the stand member 30 is similar to the relative rotation between the sections 46 and 48 of the arm member 40 about axis 41 and, similarly, can be achieved in any convenient manner. Typically this rotation is achieved by direct user-manipulation, and it is permitted by the provision of simple swivel pin or other arrangements between the relevant sections of the stand member 30.
  • the rotational movement may be assisted by springs if preferred, and associated damping of the spring-assisted movement may be provided also if required, for example by means of rotary viscous dampers.
  • the rotational movement between the sections 36 and 38 of the stand member 30 can be motor-driven, either by a dedicated motor, or via transmission from the main motor used to power the drive outlets 42 and 44.
