Abstract

An appliance (100) for processing foodstuffs with a drive (2) including a pull-cord roller (21) having a concentric recess (22), in which there is arranged a spring element (23) located on the inside, the spring element (23) being operatively connected to the pull-cord roller. Through the drive (2), the working unit (4), which can be made to rotate, is driven, the working unit (4) being arranged in such a way that the external toothing (62) of the drive wheel (61) engages in the internal toothing (63) of the working unit (4) and, when the drive (2) is actuated, the working unit (4) is made to rotate. A locking element (10), which is equipped to lock the drive (2) in a non-operational state, and an unlocking element (11), which is equipped to actuate the locking element (10) in order to release the locking, contribute to the high operational safety of the appliance.
