A modular appliance system comprising:
- a plurality of modular appliances;
- and
- a base unit for supporting one or more modular appliances simultaneously, the base unit being arranged to be connected to an electrical source and having at least two upstanding electrical connectors adapted for engagement with complemental connectors on respective appliances, thereby to connect the appliances to the electrical source, at least one of the electrical connectors being movable between a closed position within the base unit and an open position adjacent to and spaced apart from the base unit, in which open position said at least one of the electrical connectors can engage a complemental connector on an appliance.
A modular appliance system comprising:
- a plurality of modular appliances;
- and
- a free-standing appliance arranged to be connected to an electrical source, the free-standing appliance having a housing defining a cavity within which at least one upstanding electrical connector is receivable, the cavity having an opening to permit said at least one upstanding electrical connector to be moved from a closed position within the cavity to an open position adjacent to and spaced apart from the free-standing appliance, in which open position said at least one upstanding electrical connector can engage a complemental connector on a modular appliance, to connect the modular appliance to the electrical source.
