Abstract:
A hand blender comprises a motor unit and a tool unit. The motor unit comprises a motor unit coupling part for coupling the tool unit to the motor unit. The tool unit will be coupled onto the motor unit via the motor unit's motor unit coupling part and the tool unit's tool unit coupling part. Coupling of the tool unit directly onto the end part of motor reduces the tolerance along the longitudinal axis of the motor unit. Reduction of tolerance is advantageous as it reduces vibration and noise and as it reduces the load on the coupling parts.

Claim (Index 1):
A hand blender comprising:\n a tool unit, wherein the tool unit comprises a tool unit coupling part that includes a first tool unit coupling surface; and a motor unit for use in arrangement with the tool unit, wherein the motor unit comprises (i) a motor that comprises a motor shaft, and (ii) an end part for positioning the motor shaft on a longitudinal axis of the motor, wherein the end part further comprises a motor unit coupling part arranged to be coupleable to the tool unit coupling part of the tool unit, wherein the motor unit coupling part comprises at least one of (a) an alignment zone for aligning the tool unit to the motor and (b) a fixating zone for fixating the tool unit to the motor, wherein the alignment zone includes an axisymmetric coupling component with a first motor unit coupling surface, wherein the first motor unit coupling surface has an axisymmetric shape and the first tool unit coupling surface has a compatible axisymmetric shape similar to that of the first motor unit coupling surface, such that the tool unit coupling part mounts onto the motor unit coupling part and is guided in an axial direction towards the motor unit, wherein the axisymmetric shape of the first tool unit coupling surface guides and aligns the tool unit in the radial direction such that a longitudinal axis of the tool unit overlaps the longitudinal axis of the motor unit, and wherein the fixating zone includes a second motor unit coupling surface of the axisymmetric coupling component, wherein the second motor unit coupling surface has a non-axisymmetric profile that is non-axisymmetric with respect to the longitudinal axis, and wherein the tool unit coupling part further includes a second tool unit coupling surface, the second tool unit coupling surface having a compatible non-axisymmetric profile similar to that of the second motor unit coupling surface, such that the tool unit coupling part further mounts onto the motor unit coupling part, via the second tool unit coupling surface and second motor unit coupling surface, respectively, to fixate the tool unit in a tangential direction in response to the second tool unit coupling surface being coupled with the second motor unit coupling surface.
