Abstract: A laundry appliance includes a first lint filter operable between a use position and a maintenance position, a second lint filter proximate to the first lint filter, a switch operable between a first condition and a second condition, and a blower. Movement of the first lint filter from the use position to the maintenance position prompts the switch to enter the second condition from the first condition. The blower is operable to deliver process air through the first and second lint filters in the first condition of the switch and is configured to activate to deliver process air through the second lint filter based on the switch entering the second condition.

Abstract: A mixer for combining food constituents into a homogeneous mass includes an eccentric drive mounted on a mixing head of the mixer, where the eccentric drive is configured to rotate around a central axis of a mixing area and rotate an offset rotational axis of a drive shaft in an orbit about the central axis of the mixing area. An angled beater attachment for the mixer further includes a top mounting portion operably coupled to the drive shaft of the stand mixer, a bottom beater portion disposed above the mixing area, and a beater support member operably coupled with a support shaft of the bottom beater portion. The bottom beater portion is driven by the drive shaft about an angled rotational axis that extends at an acute angle relative to the central axis of the mixing area.

Abstract: A laundry appliance includes a cabinet that defines an opening, a drum accessible via the opening and configured for processing laundry, a blower that conveys process air along an airflow path, and a vortex lint filter coupled to the cabinet and at least selectively disposed within the airflow path. The vortex lint filter has a receptacle that includes an outer side wall that defines an inlet, a floor that extends inboard from the outer side wall, and a tower that extends upward from the floor and defines an outlet. The blower is configured to deliver process air into the receptacle via the inlet, along the outer side wall to create a process air vortex, and out of the receptacle via the outlet, such that particulate matter is separated from the process air and collects within the receptacle.
