More Information
Summary:A splash guard is provided for a food mixer, such as a hand-held mixer or a stand mixer, comprising a wavy, plate-like member that is adapted to cover the opening of a mixing bowl. The splash guard is secured to the mixer by portions of the splash guard that mate with the sides of the mixer body. More particularly, the splash guard has mutually-opposed flanges that are received in outwardly-open, longitudinally-extending grooves formed in the sides of the mixer body. The grooves in the mixer body can be specially provided for mounting the splash guard or they can be formed in a conventional manner at the junction of two body parts secured together to form the mixer body. The splash guard includes a transverse retainer strap that gives rigidity to the splash guard structure. Snap-fitting and sliding methods of assembling the splash guard onto the mixer body are also disclosed.
