The present invention relates to a rotating beater (1) adapted to be rotated by a drive shaft (2), including at least one wire-shaped beater element (3, 22), which starts from the drive shaft (2), extends further in the direction of the drive shaft and, finally, after one or a plurality of changes in its direction of extension, is led back to the drive shaft (2). The course of the beater element (3, 22) is substantially subdivided into a first section (4, 7) in the extension of the drive shaft (2), a second section (5, 8) extending substantially transversely to the drive shaft (2), and a third (6, 9) section (6), with the first (4, 7) and third (6, 9) sections extending so that their ends (10, 11 or 12, 13, respectively) starting from the drive shaft (2) lag behind their other ends (23, 24 or 25, 26, respectively) in the direction of rotation (U) of the beater. According to the present invention, the first (4, 7) and third (6, 9) sections include upper (14, 16; 18, 20) and lower (15, 17; 19, 21) segments having different directions of extension, with the lagging behind of the first (4, 7) and third (6, 9) sections being, substantially, effected by the direction of extension of the lower segment (15, 17; 19, 21) alone. Good mixing results are achieved thereby, without foods being spattered.

Rotating beater

An electrically driven handmixer comprises a manually actuated electric switching device for an electromotor with several switch steps (I, II, III) for permanent operation of the electromotor as well as at least one switch step (IL) for short-time operation. A coupling device is used for holding and driving various insertable tools, and an interlock ensures that after the insertion of the blending attachment or other knife-like tool into the coupling device, the electromotor remains separated from the power supply despite the activation of the switch steps (I, II, III) for permanent operation of the electromotor, whereas the electromotor remains connected with the power supply during the manual actuation of the switch step (IL) for short-time operation of the electromotor.
