Latching tongues (714) are formed on wall portions (715) of the snap connector (713) in various types. Latching tongues (714) provides to fix the hinge bearing (71) to the top plate (14) by means of latching tongues (714) are passed through the plug-in opening (141). As it can be seen from the
figure 2a , there is a housing (716) formed on a lateral wall of the hinge bearing (71) corresponding to the cover (19). There are two tabs (719) extending parallel to each other and formed on the housing of the hinge bearing (71). There is a distance (a) between two tabs (719). The locking part (312) of the first terminal member (31) is fixed between two tabs (719) in the housing (716). A locking step (x) on the locking part (312) rests on upper points of the tabs (719). The attaching part (313) and the extended connection end (314) extend towards an inner part (720) of the hinge bearing (71) by passing through an opening (718) of the housing (716) (figure 3b ,3c ,5a, 5b ). A top part (717) of the hinge bearing (71) is integrated to the hinge bearing (71) and therefore the top part (717) is non-conductive, too. Also, the top part (717) is in a semicircular form. The first terminal member (31) does not extend to the top part (717) of the hinge bearing (71). Thus, the first terminal member (31) does not contact the second terminal (321) as the cover (19) is in a closed position onto the top plate (14).

figure 7 and it shows a part where a connection of a first terminal member (31) on the body (11) and a second terminal (321) on the cover (19) is realized. - Electrical transmission members (32) are mounted onto both sides of the cover (19) of the top plate (14). An end of the electrical transmission member (32) which is corresponding to the first terminal member (31) on the top plate (14) is the second terminal (321) of the switch (3). The second terminal (321) is in contact the first terminal member (31) on the hinge bearing (71) during switching on. For providing contact and electrical transmission, the cover (19) is mounted and fixed to the profile part (732) of the bearing member (73). The cover (19) is detachable to the profile part (732). When the cover (19) is detached, the switch (3) can not transmit the electrical energy. Therefore, the electrical current is cut off while the first terminal member (31) and the second terminal (321) are not in contact. The first terminal member (31) has flexibility like a spring. According as the flexibility increases a contact surface area of the contact part (311) of the first terminal member (31) which is contacting the second terminal (321), increases. A flexibility adjustment of the first terminal member (31) on the hinge bearing (71) can be arranged via the bend angles of first terminal member (β, α). Also, the bend angles of first terminal member (β, α) facilitates to dispose the first terminal member (31) into the housing (716) of the hinge bearing (71). Detail-A is a close view from the
figure 7 and it shows a part where a connection of a first terminal member (31) on the body (11) and a second terminal (321) on the cover (19) is realized.

Figure 9 is a perspective view from the front of a household appliance (1) particularly a cooking device. The second terminals (321) of the electrical transmission members (32) are disposed on the part where the cover (19) is engaged to the body (11). Other terminals of the electrical transmission members (32) are extending towards the functional member (20) or contacted directly to the functional member (20). A switching member (21) is set for switching on/off to the functional member (20). A contact with an energy supply is controlled by means of the switching member (21). The switching member (21) can be a button with touch or mechanical operated. Else, instead of these switching member (21) can be operated with voice command. The electrical transmission member (32) on the cover (19) is preferably a conductive strip. Each conductive strip is solely loaded with positively or negatively charged at both two ends. The conductive strip can be coated with a nonconductive material. In an alternative embodiment of the invention, the electrical transmission member (32) on the cover (19) can be a cable (5). - The electrical transmission members (32) charged negatively or positively, transmit the electrical energy to the functional member (20). The functional member (20) operates at low voltages. For instance, the functional member (20) can be a LED illumination element, a signal, a display illumination or a button operating with electrical energy.
- If an alternating current (AC) will be transmitting on lines of the electrical transmission members (32), the electrical transmission members (32) are charged as phase (positive and negative loads) or neutral. If a direct current (DC) will be transmitting on lines of the electrical transmission members (32), the positive and negative charged lines are formed separately. In this way, an occurrence of a short circuit is prevented. The electronic card (22) converts the current from AC to DC at a desired voltage value. The voltage value on the conductive strips is between 0-60 volts. The conductive strips are manufactured from a metal material comprising silver ion or/and copper ion having a high electrical conductivity capacity. A wall thickness and a length of the conductive strips are formed and adjusted considering a predetermined voltage value which will be transmitted from one end to the another end of the conductive strip.
- Fixing of the conductive strips onto the cover (19) is provided via coating the conductive strip onto the cover (19). In an alternative embodiment of the invention, the fixing can be done in different methods. The conductive strips can adhered onto the cover (19) by an adherent.
- In the case of transforming a direct current (DC), the energy supply is chosen as a SELV (safety extra low voltage/ separated extra low voltage) system. Thus, the user can touch reliably to the low voltage charged conductive strips.
- In a detail description of the invention, the first terminal member (31) can be manufactured from a resilient spring steel metal or the like conductive material. The first terminal member (31) has the bend angle of contact part (α) and the contact part (311) has a form extending outwardly from the hinge bearing (71) with the α angle.
- The first terminal member (31) is positioned on the body (11) as extending towards the cover (19) in a manner contacting the second terminal (321) on the cover (19). In particular, the first terminal member (31) is disposed on the hinge bearing (71). And the hinge bearing (71) is disposed on the body (11). The switch (3) is designed as operating according to an open position of the cover (19) for contacting the first terminal member (31) to the second terminal (321).

- In an alternative embodiment of the invention, the electrical transmission member on the body (11) can be a conductive strip.
- During a rotational movement of the cover (19), the second terminal (321) applies a press and an impulse force to the first terminal member (31). The locking part (312) obstructs getting the first terminal member (31) out of the housing (716). As it can be seen from the figure 16 (A detail) and figure 17, when the cover (19) applied a press on the first terminal member (31), the first terminal member (31) is being bended. Thus, the second terminal (321) on the cover (19) contacts to the contact part (311) of the first terminal member (31). By this way, electrical circuit is completed and an electrical transmission is realized.
- In an opened position of the cover (19) on the top plate (14), an angle between the cover (19) and the top plate (14) is 90° or approximately 100°. Thus switching on the switch (3) is realized and the electrical energy is supplied to the functional member (20).
