Abstract
The invention is directed to a processing device for stirring or reducing foods, particularly a handheld blender, with a motor driven tool shaft extending in a housing part of the housing of the processing device and having a work performing element secured to the shaft's output end. The housing part becomes a protective shield in the area of the output end of the tool shaft, said shield encompassing the work performing element in a radial direction at least in part and terminating in an opening edge at its lower open end. To ensure that the processing tool is not only adequately protected in an initial position by the shield but also well suited to reduce large pieces of solid foods, means are provided for enabling a relative axial displacement of the work performing element and the opening edge of the shield.
