Abstract
A kitchen appliance, in particular, a food processor or juice extractor, includes an attachment coupled to an electromotive drive of the appliance disposed in a container that can be closed by a lid part, and an actuating element for a switch located in the circuit of the electromotive drive provided on a housing of the kitchen appliance. Contact with rotating processing attachments is prevented by providing a locking block that can be adjusted by the switching movement of the actuating element and into the adjusting path of which there projects a locking member that can be automatically adjusted into its locking position by the action of a force and can be moved out of its locking position by an adjusting mechanism coupled to the lid part.
Claims19
A kitchen appliance, comprising:
- an electromotive drive having a circuit with a switch;
- a container having a lid for closing said container, said lid having an adjusting mechanism;
- an attachment selectively coupled to said drive when disposed in said container;
- a housing for receiving said container;
- a switchable actuating element disposed on said housing, said actuating element connected to said switch;
- a locking block connected to and adjusted by a switching movement of said actuating element;
- a locking block having an adjusting path, said locking block and said actuating element being two separate components mechanically coupled to one another to adjust said locking block by a switching movement of said actuating element;
- and
- a locking member selectively moving into and out of said adjusting path, said locking member having a locking position and a bias device imparting a locking force automatically adjusting said locking member into said locking position, said adjusting mechanism selectively moving said locking member out of said locking position.
In a kitchen appliance having an electromotive drive with a switch, a container, an attachment selectively coupled to the drive when disposed in the container, and a housing for receiving the container, a control device comprising:
- a lid for closing the container, said lid having an adjusting mechanism;
- a switchable actuating element disposed on the housing, said actuating element to be connected to the switch;
- a locking block connected to and adjusted by a switching movement of said actuating element;
- a locking block having an adjusting path, said locking block and said actuating element being two separate components mechanically coupled to one another to adjust said locking block by a switching movement of said actuating element;
- and
- a locking member selectively moving into and out of said adjusting path, said locking member having a locking position and a bias device imparting a locking force automatically adjusting said locking member into said locking position, said adjusting mechanism selectively moving said locking member out of said locking position.
A food processor, comprising:
- an electromotive drive having a circuit with a switch;
- a container having a lid for closing said container, said lid having an adjusting mechanism;
- an attachment selectively coupled to said drive when disposed in said container;
- a housing for receiving said container;
- a switchable actuating element disposed on said housing, said actuating element connected to said switch;
- a locking block connected to and adjusted by a switching movement of said actuating element;
- a locking block having an adjusting path, said locking block and said actuating element being two separate components mechanically coupled to one another to adjust said locking block by a switching movement of said actuating element;
- and
- a locking member selectively moving into and out of said adjusting path, said locking member having a locking position and a bias device imparting a locking force automatically adjusting said locking member into said locking position, said adjusting mechanism selectively moving said locking member out of said locking position.
A juice extractor, comprising:
- an electromotive drive having a circuit with a switch;
- a container having a lid for closing said container, said lid having an adjusting mechanism;
- an attachment selectively coupled to said drive when disposed in said container;
- a housing for receiving said container;
- a switchable actuating element disposed on said housing, said actuating element connected to said switch;
- a locking block connected to and adjusted by a switching movement of said actuating element;
- a locking block having an adjusting path, said locking block and said actuating element being two separate components mechanically coupled to one another to adjust said locking block by a switching movement of said actuating element;
- and
- a locking member selectively moving into and out of said adjusting path, said locking member having a locking position and a bias device imparting a locking force automatically adjusting said locking member into said locking position, said adjusting mechanism selectively moving said locking member out of said locking position.
A kitchen appliance, comprising:
- a drive having a control switch;
- a container for receiving a removable attachment connected to said drive when disposed in said container, said container having a lid for closing said container, said lid having an adjusting mechanism;
- a housing for receiving said container;
- a switchable actuating element disposed on said housing, said actuating element connected to said control switch;
- a locking block having an adjusting path, said locking block connected to and adjusted by a switching movement of said actuating element, said locking block and said actuating element being two separate components;
- and
- a locking member selectively moving into and out of said adjusting path, said locking member having a locking position and a bias device imparting a locking force automatically adjusting said locking member into said locking position, said adjusting mechanism selectively moving said locking member out of said locking position when said lid is placed to close the container.
In a kitchen appliance having a drive with a control switch, a container for receiving a removable attachment connected to the drive when disposed in the container, and a housing for receiving the container, a control device comprising:
- a lid for closing the container, said lid having an adjusting mechanism;
- a switchable actuating element disposed on said housing, said actuating element connected to the control switch of the drive;
- a locking block having an adjusting path, said locking block connected to and adjusted by a switching movement of said actuating element, said locking block and said actuating element being two separate components;
- and
- a locking member selectively moving into and out of said adjusting path, said locking member having a locking position and a bias device imparting a locking force automatically adjusting said locking member into said locking position, said adjusting mechanism selectively moving said locking member out of said locking position when said lid is placed to close the container.
