Abstract
Description
[0001] The present invention relates to a food processor and a lid holder.
[0002] Food processors typically have a bowl, especially a preparation bowl. This preparation bowl may contain a rotating element, particularly a mixing blade. The mixing blade can stir and / or chop.
[0003] When the lid is removed, for example to add or remove food from the pot, it must be placed on a surface. This can soil the surface and require cleaning. It may also happen that there is no place to put the lid down.
[0004] One objective of the invention is to provide an improved kitchen machine and a lid holder.
[0005] This task is solved by a food processor according to claim 1 and a lid holder according to claim 9.
[0006] The invention relates to a food processor comprising a base station, a pot having a pot opening, a lid for covering the pot opening, wherein the pot can be arranged on the base station, and a lid holder designed to be detachably attached to the base station, wherein the lid holder has a bearing receptacle in which - if the lid holder is attached to the base station - the lid can be stored in a storage position.
[0007] According to one design of the kitchen machine, it may be provided that the lid holder has a fastening element, in particular a projection, which can be attached to a structural element of the base station.
[0008] According to one embodiment of the kitchen machine, the fastening element can be a projection, the structural element being a recess, and the projection engaging in the recess, in particular in a form-fitting manner, to fasten the lid holder to the base station.
[0009] According to one design of the kitchen machine, it may be provided that several, in particular two, fastening elements as well as several, in particular two, structural elements are provided.
[0010] According to one embodiment of the kitchen machine, the lid holder may have a bearing section, wherein the bearing receptacle is formed on the bearing section, and wherein the bearing receptacle is in particular an elongated hole.
[0011] According to one design of the kitchen machine, it may be provided that at least one further bearing receptacle is arranged on the bearing section, in which a kitchen utensil, for example a spatula, can be stored.
[0012] According to one design of the kitchen machine, it may be provided that the fastening element or the several fastening elements are arranged on a fastening section of the lid holder.
[0013] A magnetic element can be arranged at one free end of the fastening element(s), i.e., the projection(s). The structural elements can have a counterpart element that interacts magnetically with the magnetic element. A counterpart element can be the head of a screw or rivet. A counterpart element can be a metallic element. The counterpart element can be arranged in a recess. Providing magnetic elements can facilitate fastening, as they are attracted to the counterpart elements.
[0014] According to one design of the food processor, it can be provided that a sliding element, in particular several sliding elements, is / are arranged on the lid holder, in particular the fastening section, facing a surface on which the base station is positioned, with which a moving of the food processor on the surface is made possible.
[0015] The invention further relates to a lid holder for a food processor, the food processor comprising a base station, a pot having a pot opening, a lid for covering the pot opening, wherein the pot can be arranged on the base station, wherein the lid holder is designed to be detachably attached to the base station, wherein the lid holder has a bearing receptacle in which - if the lid holder is attached to the base station - the lid can be stored in a storage position.
[0016] The features mentioned in the dependent claims in the context of the kitchen machine can also be features of the lid holder according to the invention.
[0017] The Fig. Figures 1 to 2 and 4 show a food processor 1 comprising a base station 2, a pot 3 having a pot opening, a lid 4 for covering the pot opening, wherein the pot 3 can be arranged on the base station 2, and a lid holder 5 which is designed to be detachably attached to the base station 2, wherein the lid holder 5 has a bearing receptacle 6 in which - if the lid holder 5 is attached to the base station 2 - the lid 4 can be stored in a bearing position L.
[0018] Fig. Figure 3 shows a lid holder 5.
[0019] The lid holder 5 has a fastening element 7, in particular a projection, which can be attached to a structural element 8 of the base station 2.
[0020] The fastening element 7 is a projection, wherein the structural element 8 is a recess, the projection engaging in the recess in a form-fitting manner for fastening the lid holder 5 to the base station 2.
[0021] Several, in particular two, fastening elements 7, as well as several, in particular two, structural elements 8 are provided.
[0022] The lid holder 5 has a bearing section 9 wherein the bearing receptacle 6 is formed on the bearing section 9 wherein the bearing receptacle 6 is in particular an elongated hole.
[0023] At least one further storage receptacle 10 is arranged on the storage section 9, wherein a kitchen utensil, for example a spatula, can be stored in the further storage receptacle 10.
[0024] The fastening element 7 or the multiple fastening elements 7 are arranged on a fastening section 11 of the lid holder 5.
[0025] On the lid holder 5, in particular the mounting section 11, a sliding element 12, or in particular several sliding elements 12, is arranged facing a surface on which the base station 2 is positioned, enabling the food processor to be moved on the surface. The sliding element 12 may be a Teflon glider. It may be necessary to lift the base station 2 on one side so that the sliding element 12 or sliding elements 12 come into contact with the surface, thus allowing the base station to be moved.
