Dual handle immersion blender
View Patent ↗There is provided an immersion blender essentially having a housing or body portion for containing a drive motor, a shank or drive shaft operatively connected to the drive motor, and a processing tool operatively connected to the drive shaft. The immersion blender also has one or more handle portions, including, a first handle for pivotal control of the blender during operative use, a second handle for lateral control of the blender during operative use, and a third handle for stabilization of the blender during operative use. These handles effectuate a more effective and efficient operation of the immersion blender.
1. An immersion blender comprising:
a body housing a drive motor;
a first handle;
a second handle having a first end and a second end, said first end being attached to said first handle, said second end being attached to an upper half of said body;
a drive shaft operatively connected to said drive motor;
a third handle, extending outward from a lower half of said body in a direction substantially perpendicular to an axis defined by said drive shaft; and
a tool operatively connected to said drive shaft,
wherein said first handle is elongated with a proximal end portion, a central portion and a distal end portion, wherein said proximal end and said distal end enable an operator's hand to easily grasp or wrap thereabout, and wherein said central portion is connected to said second handle.
2. An immersion blender comprising:
a body housing a drive motor;
a first handle;
a second handle having a first end and a second end, said first end being attached to said first handle, said second end being attached to an upper half of said body;
a drive shaft operatively connected to said drive motor;
a third handle, extending outward from a lower half of said body in a direction substantially perpendicular to an axis defined by said drive shaft; and
a tool operatively connected to said drive shaft,
wherein said third handle is a knob.
3. A hand held blender comprising:
an elongated body having a drive motor, said body having two or more handles;
a drive shaft operatively connected to said drive motor;
a tool operatively connected to said drive shaft,
wherein a first handle of said two or more handles is attached to an upper half of said body, and a second handle of said two or more handles is attached to a lower half of said body, said second handle extending outward from said body in a direction substantially perpendicular to an axis defined by said drive shaft, wherein at least one of said two or more handles is a stabilizing handle disposed on a side of said body, wherein said stabilizing handle is a knob.
4. A blender comprising:
a body housing a drive motor;
a drive shaft operatively connected to said drive motor; and
a tool operatively connected to said drive shaft,
wherein said body has a first handle to facilitate pivoting the blender with respect to a working surface, a second handle to facilitate moving the blender laterally with respect to said working surface, and a third handle to facilitate stabilizing the blender during operative use, said third handle being located in a position on said body remote from said first handle and said second handle,
wherein said first handle is elongated with a proximal end portion, a central portion and a distal end portion,
wherein said proximal end and said distal end enable an operator's hand to easily grasp or wrap thereabout, and wherein said central portion is connected to said second handle.
5. A blender comprising:
a body housing a drive motor;
a drive shaft operatively connected to said drive motor; and
a tool operatively connected to said drive shaft,
wherein said body has a first handle to facilitate pivoting the blender with respect to a working surface, a second handle to facilitate moving the blender laterally with respect to said working surface, and a third handle to facilitate stabilizing the blender during operative use, said third handle being located in a position on said body remote from said first handle and said second handle,
wherein said third handle protrudes outwardly from a side of said body in a direction substantially perpendicular to an axis defined by said drive shaft,
wherein said third handle is a knob.
