Beater tool for a stand mixer comprising a scraper

摘要

Beater assembly for mixing ingredients in the bowl of a stand mixer with planetary drive, the assembly (10) including upright arm members (12, 14) which repeatedly approach and pass close to the walls of the bowl in accordance with the motion imparted by the planetary drive. The arm members are provided with flexible wiping or scraping blades (22) which are capable of adapting themselves to fully conform to the bowl surface, each arm member (12, 14) is grooved (24) along its length and each blade (22) is formed of a length-wise resilient elastomer configured for mounting in the groove. The blades are formed at each end with fasteners (34, 36) and are held in position, under length-wise tension, by interlocking the fasteners with anchoring devices (38, 40) located near the ends of the arm members.

主权项

1. A beater assembly for beating ingredients contained in a bowl; wherein the beater assembly is supported under a planetary drive outlet of a stand mixer, the beater assembly comprising first and second arm members positionable into a bowl, and each configured so as to substantially follow the shape of an upright wall of a bowl; the arm members being further configured to adjoin near the base of a bowl, and the assembly further comprising a transverse member linking the non-adjoined ends of the arm members and supporting a shaft configured for temporary attachment to the planetary drive outlet of the stand mixer; the arm members being grooved along their length and each being provided with a respective anchor means near its junction with said transverse member; and wherein the assembly further comprising an elongated blade member formed of a length-wise resilient elastomer and configured for mounting in said groove; the blade member comprising a thick root portion, configured to sit snugly in said groove, and an outwardly extending wiping part, of thinner profile than the thick root portion, formed to repeatedly flex when wiped against the interior wall of the bowl during a planetary mixing motion, and the blade member further comprising fasteners at its ends and extending from said thick root portion whereby the blade member can be secured to said arm members by interlocking of said fasteners with said anchor means with the blade member held in tension, stretched along the groove; the retention of said blade member in said groove thereby being enhanced by the length-wise resilience of said elastomer.
