Abstract
The invention is directed to an electric powered hand mixer for processing food materials, which is provided with switching arrangements adjustably disposed on a housing ( ) and featuring different settings for activation of a continuous-on mode and a pulse mode. Provision is made for tool mounts for holding various tools including, for example, a mixing or kneading tool ( ) or a puréeing wand. A lock release element ( ) is provided for ejecting a tool held in one of the tool mounts. Provision is made for two switching devices ( ) one of which is associated with the activation of the continuous-on mode and one with the activation of the pulse mode. The two switching devices ( ) and the lock release element ( ) are mechanically coupled to each other so that only one of the two switching devices ( ) is actuatable at a time.
