HB Mixer Storage Cabinets
There were basically two types of mixer cabinets and the design depending on the mixer model and the ejector system of the mixer. The earlier, fancier, cabinets were used with the 12 & 14 speeds and Super Mixette Models of the late 60s and thru the 70s that had the beater ejector button near the speed control. One pressed the ejector button to release the mixer from the cabinet. To attach the mixer to the cabinet on pressed the mixer into the opening until you hear the "click" of the hook engaged. The cabinets used a metal "A" shaped bracket that was attached to the wall and the cabinet was slid over the bracket to to engage the matching "rails" on the back of the cabinet. Many of these "cabinet mixers" sold on ebay lack the metal bracket. HB, WT Grant, and Sears sold many of these models during the 1970s thru the 1980s. The other cabinet was sold with HB's model 107 and other similar had mixers that had the ejector lever under the mixer. One places the mixer in the opening and makes sure to place it in the opening high enough so that the ejector lever will slide into the hole in the rear of the cabinet and the mixer "hangs" from that lever "tab" in the cabinet. These later cabinets were just attached using screws to the wall without a bracket. HB even had a "mix and carve" cabinet having a "hole in the handle (model 275) knife" and a model 87 or 97 Mixette. There was a slot to hide and hold the attached cords of both appliances and clips to hole the beaters & blades, keeping the arrangement neat and easy to set up for use.
