Kitchen appliance comprising a lid

A kitchen appliance comprising:

• a housing and a pitcher removably mounted on the housing (14);
• a driving motor located in the housing and having an output shaft;
• a tool shaft of a coupling device disposed inside the pitcher and mounted via a shaft bearing, which coupling device has an input coupling placed on the tool shaft and which matches the output shaft;
• a cooling air duct with a port provided on the housing;
• a lid being positionable in an open position, in which the port is open, and a closed position, in which the port is closed, the lid being brought into the open position by coupling the input coupling with the output coupling.

A kitchen appliance comprising:

• a housing having a holder near a top portion of the housing;
• a pitcher having a bottom edge defining an open floor portion;
• a pitcher base removably connected to the pitcher to close the open floor portion, the pitcher base being removably mounted in the holder of the housing;
• a driving motor disposed in the housing and having a rotational output shaft extending outwardly the motor and having an output coupling at an end of the output shaft;
• a tool shaft connected to the pitcher base for rotation with respect to the pitcher base and having an input coupling at an end of the tool shaft and being engagable with the output coupling to transfer rotation from the output shaft to the tool shaft;
• a port defined by the housing near the holder and surrounding the output coupling;
• and
• a ring-shaped lid supported by the housing and surrounding the output coupling, the lid being movable between an open condition, in which the port is open and the input coupling is engaged with the output coupling, and a closed condition, in which the lid closes the port and the input coupling is disengaged from the output coupling.
