Abstract:
A switching module (9) for a hand-held mixer (1) which has two mains terminals (10, 11) for connection to a source of electrical power, means (12) for connecting said mains terminals to a power source, and a motor (27) for driving mixing tools (28, 29, 30, 31, 32, 33, 34, 35), said motor being adapted to effect driving with at least two lower speeds and with a speed which is higher than the lower speeds,wherein the switching module (9) comprises: speed switching means (60) for switching the speed of the motor (27) to different lower speed values, and means for actuating the speed switching means (60) in response to a first mechanical input, and start means (61) for starting the motor (27) at the higher speed in response to a second mechanical input, characterized in that the speed switching means (60) and the start means (61) as well as said two mains terminals (10, 11) are connected mechanically and electrically in the module (9), and all the electrical connections between the two mains terminals (10, 11) and the speed switching means (60) and the start means (61) are realized on the module (9).
