Abstract
A hand-held mixer ( ) includes a drive mechanism ( ) for driving mixing tools ( ), which mixing tools are detachably coupled to the drive mechanism ( ) and are disengageable from the drive mechanism ( ) with the aid of a movable disengaging device ( ), and further includes speed switching circuits within a first module ( ), with the aid of which speed switching circuits the speed of the mixing tools can be switched to different speed values. A movable actuating element (19) actuates the speed switching circuits and includes a switching handle ( ). The disengaging device ( ) and the actuating element ( ) including the switching handle ( ) are formed as a one-piece second module ( ) which is arranged so as to be movable parallel to only one path of movement ( ) both for actuation of the speed switching circuits and for disengagement of the mixing tools from the drive mechanism ( ).
