Abstract
Description
The present invention relates to a food processor assembly and a lid holder. A food processor arrangement can also be referred to as a food processor.Numerous kitchen appliances, in particular electrical kitchen appliances, are known which have a pot with a pot opening and a cover covering the pot opening. Some of the food processors can only be operated when the pot is covered by the cover. For checking, the food processors have corresponding detection means which detect whether the pot is properly covered with the cover. This is intended on the one hand to prevent the contents of the pot from splashing or flying out, and on the other hand to prevent the cover from being relevant to safety, since knives, for example, rotate in the interior of the pot.This results in the disadvantage that the lid of the pot must be removed from the pot each time before food, food or spices are added and in particular must be placed back on the pot before each next preparation step. This also means that the pot is generally deposited between the working steps so that the user can use both hands for adding further cooking material for the next preparation step. This is not only time-consuming, but also requires that there is sufficient free space in the vicinity of the kitchen appliance for depositing the cover.In addition, the cover is often soiled on its inner surface or bottom side of the cover facing the inner side of the pot (i.e. a pot interior) due to the preceding preparation step. For example, when sauces or cut goods are being prepared, sauce sprays or cut goods can stick to the bottom side of the lid. This has the result that the depositing of the cover between the working steps often leads to the depositing region also being soiled. In particular in the case of liquids, there is the risk that these will drip off the cover and contaminate the substrate when the cover is removed, transported and placed.Cover holders are known from the prior art, for example from DE 20 2021 106 019 U1, which allow a cover to be fastened to a food processor so that the cover can drip off. Nevertheless, it is necessary for a user to remove the cover from the pot and to fasten it separately to a holding element. The hands of the user can become soiled and the cover can slide out of the hands for the user. The fastening of the cover is inconvenient. Furthermore, the angle at which the cover is held is disadvantageous for dripping of residues located on the bottom side of the cover.The object of the present invention is therefore to provide a food processor arrangement with which a more comfortable holding of a cover is made possible. Furthermore, the object of the present invention is to provide a cover holder with which a more comfortable holding of a cover is made possible.This object is achieved with a food processor according to claim 1 and a cover holder according to claim 21.The present invention relates first to a food processor arrangement comprising a. a base station; b. a pot having a pot opening, which can be arranged in, on or on the base station; c. a cover, wherein the pot opening can be covered with the cover, wherein the cover rests on the pot to cover the pot opening and is thus located in a covering position; d. a drip position holding section, wherein the cover can be arranged on the drip position holding section in a drip position, and wherein the cover is pivoted by a drip position pivot angle in the drip position with respect to the covering position.A base station can comprise a housing, in which a wide variety of components of a food processor are integrated, e.g. a drive motor, an energy supply device, a control unit, a display unit, etc. The base station can have a pot receptacle for arranging a pot.A "pot" is in particular a preparation pot in which food or food can be processed or prepared.
