Abstract
A caddy 30 for a hand mixer 32 includes a base 38 and a cover 40 which are joined to form a housing 36. The housing 36 is formed with a nest 74 having a pair of mounting posts 44 extending upward from a floor wall 76 of the nest. The mounting posts 44 are formed with a stem 54, an annular groove 56 and a head 58 which cooperate with accommodating biased fingers 116 and radially inward nubs 118 of the fingers to retain the mixer 32 with the caddy 30 upon assembly therewith. Openings 98 are formed in the caddy 30 to receive implement mounts 104, which are held with the caddy by biased fingers 63 and nubs 64 located within the openings. The caddy 30, with the hand mixer 32 and the implements 34, is transportable and may be stored when the mixer and implements are not in use.
