Definitions
- the present invention relates to appliances for the mixing and blending of ingredients and, more particularly to hand held cordless mixers.
- Handheld mixers sometimes called “stick mixers" are a popular kitchen appliance, being quick and easy to use, particularly for the mixing of drinks and other liquid ingredients, as well as for the chopping up of small quantities of nuts, making biscuit crumbs and the like.
- a disadvantage of typical hand held mixers is the restrictions placed on their use through the connection of the power cord to a power outlet, forcing a user to operate the device in an area adjacent the outlet.
- t ' here is usually no convenient way of storing the appliance when not in use.
- the length of the appliance and its attached cord make it an inconvenient item to be left readily accessible on a kitchen bench.
- a more serious disadvantage is that hand held mixers operating from mains power, constitute an inherent danger to a user if not handled with care.
- the cord presents a danger if the mixer is used over a hot stove for the stirring of soup for example.
- When used to stir or blend ingredients in large containers there is a risk of electrocution if the mixer is accidentally dropped into the container.
- stick mixers commonly employ a thin metal blade which can cause serious lacerations to curious fingers.
- this type of blade is not well suited to certain blending and mixing applications, in particular the mixing of milk shakes and "smoothies" (milk-based drinks with fruit, usually a banana) . These are typically prepared in relatively small quantities but the action of typically bladed stick mixers is so violent in a small container, as to risk ejecting the mixture.

- Blade extension unit 14 comprises an attachment housing 30, an elongate hollow member 32 and a blade assembly housing 34.
- Attachment housing 30 is attached to power unit 12 by any suitable means such as for example catch mechanisms adapted to engage with detents provided in a projecting cylindrical portion 31 of the power unit 12, or a bayonet type of arrangement (not shown) .
- attachment housing 30 is made of the same impact resistant plastic as that used for power unit 12.
- attachment housing 30 is provided with a lower shaft bearing 48. Bearing 48 supports drive shaft 50, which carries a typical mixer blade 52 at its lower end. Drive shaft 50 engages with the output shaft of motor 40 at its upper end.
- power unit 12 and blade extension unit 14 when separated, may be stored in a flat bottomed base module 60 adapted for support on a horizontal surface such as a bench top or cupboard shelf.
- Base module 60 is provided with a power unit well 62 and a blade extension unit well 64. Each well is arranged with its axis substantially vertical so as to maintain power unit 12 and extension unit 14 in vertical positions when inserted.

- the blade extension unit 14 is provided at its distal end with a protective open cage 134 formed of struts 136 and skirt 138-
- a blade assembly 152 is attached to the end of drive shaft 50 and is adapted to rotate within the confines of open cage 134.
- Blade assembly 152 may take a number of forms as shown in Figures 7 to 10, but includes a central shaft 154 and at least one angled disc element 156.
- Skirt 138 is formed with downwardly projecting elements 139, leaving between them • raised arches or crenellations 140 such that when the mixer is resting on, or is pushed vertically down onto the bottom of a container, fluids may pass under arches 140, as well as through openings 137 between struts 136.
- downwardly projecting elements 139 are formed with relatively sharp edges 142 which can assist in breaking up lumps of material, such as for example pieces of banana or other fruit, to assist in the mixing action of the blade assembly.
- Cage 134 and blade assembly 152 are configured so as to leave reasonable clearance between the periphery of the rotating discs of the assembly and the struts of the cage. This, together with the general bell shape of the cage, allows a user to bring the mixing action close to the sides of a container but precludes contact between the blade assembly arid the container.
- Blade assembly 152 is preferably • formed of a relatively flexible plastic and with rounded edges so that the risk of laceration of fingers inadvertently inserted is at least reduced. in those preferred embodiments of the blade assembly, discussed in more detail below, which have a lower angled disc element, that element rotates in close proximity to the level of the downwardly projecting elements 139. Thus when the mixer is in contact with the bottom of a container, the disc element continually compresses liquid and solid elements of the mixture between the bottom and the disc.
- the assembly includes two oppositely angled discs integrally moulded to shaft 154, a lower disc 156 and upper disc 157. As the discs rotate through a mixture, fresh portions are drawn in between the widely separated regions of the discs 158, compressed and ejected from between the narrowing regions 159.
- the axis of the upper disc 160 is coincident with the axis of shaft 154.
- the lower angled disc 162 is provided with a mixing blade
- This blade rotates in close proximity to the bottom of a container when the skirt 138 is in contact with the bottom and is particularly useful in the mixing of heavier ingredients.
- both the upper and lower discs are oppositely angled and the. lower disc provided with a mixing blade as previously described.
- the assembly comprises a single upper disc with its axis coincident with the axis of shaft 154.
- a tapering Archimedes screw ' is provided for a portion of the lower end of shaft 154. During rotation of blade assembly 152, the screw drives mix ingredients firstly downward and then outward.
- the power unit is attached to the extension unit.
- the extension unit may be detached from the power unit and the power unit placed into its well in the base module.
- the battery clusters of power unit 12 are then recharged and maintained in a charged condition while ever the power unit is so stored in the base module and the module connected to a power source.
- the extension unit is also placed in the base module, the arrangement providing convenient bench top storage while not in use.
- the mixer of the present invention may be supplied with auxiliary equipment such as for example a mixing jug 70 as shown in Figure 5.
- Jug 70 is provided with a splash guard lid 72.
- lid 72 may be adapted to support the mixer assembly in a vertical position within the jug so that the skirt 35 of bell housing 34, or the skirt 138 of open cage 134 is in. light contact with the base of the jug.
