Abstract:
A domestic kitchen appliance (1) comprising:a container (2) having a central axis (3), a transmission frame (4) arranged for positioning on the container (2) and carrying a drive element (5), a carrier element (6) which is rotatably journaled relative to the frame (4) about the central axis (3), and at least two coupling elements (7, 8) which are rotatably journaled relative to the carrier element (6) about individual axes of rotation (17, 18), a transmission unit (9) carried by the transmission frame (4) for transmitting a rotation of the drive element (5) to a rotation of the carrier element (6) about the central axis (3), and for transmitting the rotation of the drive element (5) to a rotation of the coupling elements (7, 8) about their respective axes of rotation (17, 18), a drive unit (10) for driving the drive element (5), and at least two tools (27, 28) couplable to the coupling elements (7, 8), characterized in that the coupling elements (7, 8) are positioned at different distances (a, b) from the central axis (3) on the carrier element (6), whereby each coupling element and its associated tool are positioned within a single quadrant of the carrier element and following a mutually exclusive circular path about the central axis.
