An immersion mixer includes: a housing; a drive motor residing within the housing; a shaft attached to the motor and configured to rotate relative to the housing; blades attached to and rotatable with the shaft; a handle attached to the housing, the handle including a first segment and a second segment attached to the first segment and to the housing; and a trigger attached to the handle and operatively associated with the motor. The trigger includes a first segment that is generally parallel with the first segment of the handle and a second segment that is generally parallel with the second segment of the handle. Engagement by a user of either the first segment of the trigger or the second segment of the trigger causes the drive motor to rotate the shaft and blades.
An immersion mixer, comprising:
An immersion mixer, comprising:
The immersion mixer defined in claim 11, wherein the drive speed dial is positioned for manipulation with a user's thumb when the user grasps the first segment of the handle or the second segment of the handle.
The immersion mixer defined in claim 12, wherein the first segment of the handle is a generally horizontal segment, and the second segment of the handle is a generally vertical front segment.
The immersion mixer defined in claim 13, wherein the handle further includes a generally vertical third rear segment that is attached to the housing and to the first segment of the handle.
The immersion mixer defined in claim 14, further comprising an interlock button operatively associated with the drive motor, wherein initial rotation of the shaft by the motor requires engagement of the interlock button and the trigger.
The immersion mixer defined in claim 15, wherein the interlock button is mounted on the rear segment of the handle.
The immersion mixer defined in claim 18, wherein the drive speed dial further comprises markings that correlate an angular position of the drive speed dial to a drive motor speed.
An immersion mixer, comprising:
The immersion mixer defined in claim 22, wherein the power cord is electrically connected with the motor via connectors configured to enable the power cord to be detached from and reattached to the motor.
The immersion mixer defined in claim 23, wherein the cover is attached to the handle via a single reusable fastener.
The immersion mixer defined in claim 24, wherein the connectors reside within the handle.
The immersion mixer defined in claim 26, further comprising a cord clip mounted to the second segment.
