Whisk

A whisk includes a handle, a shaft and flexible wires. The handle has a cavity with a spiral internal track to engage and rotate the shaft with up and down motion of the handle. A collar is slidably mounted with a friction fit on the shaft. The flexible wires are coupled to the collar and to the second end of the shaft. Movement of the collar on the shaft changes the shape of the flexible wires. At the second end of the shaft, the flexible wires extend downwardly and then radially outwardly to lie in a plane and finally are bent toward the slidably mounted collar. A foot is rotatably mounted on the second end of the shaft and includes a bearing surface. The bearing surface extends from the second end of the shaft and beyond the defined plane within a clearance of coincidence with the defined plane.

Kitchen tongs/spatula

Pan set

The invention relates to a kitchen utensil, comprising a base () including a bottom () and a peripheral wall () defining a space (). The wall () has an edge () opposite said bottom () and two through-openings (-) in the vicinity of the edge (), opposite one another. A container () is suitable for being housed in said space (). Said container has two opposite peripheral lugs (-), received in one of the through-openings (-). At least one () of said through-openings (-) leads onto the edge () into a notch () for receiving one of said lugs (). A grasping device () is provided with a bearing portion () at least partially covering the lug () that it receives. A fastening element () maintains the grasping device () in the position in which the lug () is at least partially covered.

Utensil with simplified handling

A pair of tongs having two arms including a pivotal engagement therebetween with a pin. Each arm includes a jaw displaced from the pivotal engagement. A locking sleeve includes a channel therethrough with opposed tracks to receive the pin. Stops limit movement of the locking sleeve on the arms. A closure at the end of the channel includes a cup engageable with the locking sleeve. The stop at the distal end of the channel includes an opening therethrough conterminous with the channel. Each arm also includes an outer profile curved inwardly toward the pivotal engagement across which the locking sleeve slides. The pivotal engagement includes oblong holes in the arms with a resilient element biasing the arms apart.

Kitchen tongs

A hand mixer includes a container with an open end closed by a head. A passageway through the head receives a screw slidable through but rotationally engaged with the passageway. A handle is rotationally mounted on one end of the screw. A mixer wheel is fixed to the other end of the screw in the container. The mixer wheel includes a hub with two sets of blades. Both sets extend radially and each is inclined away from the other. Rings are disposed at the distal ends of each of the sets of blades. Stops at the bottom of the container and at the underside of the head limit the stroke of the wheel. The bottom end of the container receives a skid resistant cover. A conical flange extends outwardly and away from the open end of the cylindrical container. Charging passages selectively accessible extend fully about the head.
