Lubrication system for bottom mounted household mixers

Abstract From the Canadian patent

A shaft-mounting arrangement for use in mixing containers of household mixers includes a carrier body which is mounted on the bottom wall of the mixing container and penetrates therethrough from the interior to the exterior of the container. The carrier body bounds a passage in which there is accommodated a friction bearing which, in turn, is mounted on the above-mentioned shaft.
