Multi-step adjustable head tilting mechanism for tilt-head mixer

A stand mixer comprising:

• a casing comprising a base and a column extending from the base along a vertical direction, the casing defining an interior surface directed toward an interior cavity and an exterior surface directed away from the interior cavity;
• a tilting head positioned on top of the column, the tilting head being pivotable between a closed position and a first opened position and between the first opened position and a second opened position, an angle of the second opened position relative to a horizontal direction being greater than an angle of the first opened position relative to the horizontal direction;
• a spring attached to the casing in biased engagement with the tilting head to bias the tilting head to the first opened position from the closed position;
• a friction pin mounted on the column in selective friction engagement with the tilting head to hold the tilting head at a variable position between the first opened position and the second opened position, wherein the friction pin is received within a guide track defined along a pivot path of the tiling head;
• a button mounted to the tilting head;
• a tiltable latch coupled to the button;
• and
• a catch surface attached to the casing, the tiltable latch being in selective engagement with the catch surface to hold the tilting head in the closed position.
