Description

"Kitchen appliance" DESCRIPTION
[0001] This invention covers small worktop-based household appliances, such as those comprising a base which houses the motor, equipped at the top with a slot for engaging the base of a work component, this slot being endowed centrally with a power takeoff connected to said motor suitable' for being connected operatively to a complementary power takeoff borne by said work component, which may comprise an electric blender, a chopping device, a juice squeezer, a grater or similar.
[0002] One of the problems most commonly expressed by the users of said appliances, is that concerning the "camouflage" of said appliances, whose "functional" presence more often than not contrasts with a kitchen- small dining-room environment which looks like an extremely elegant and well-groomed living room. [0003] Therefore, more often than not, this problem is solved by placing the entire appliance, comprising the base with motor and. work implement, in a kitchen cupboard, which each time involves an additional effort both to put the appliance away and take it out when you wish to use it, also bearing in mind that the base with incorporated motor often weighs considerably. [0004] Several kitchen appliance solutions are know of, which are created in the attempt to get around the afore-mentioned inconveniences. Such solutions are shown, for example, in the document US 6,481,342 and in the document US 2003/0037685. [0005] Nevertheless, even these solutions do not overcome the afore-mentioned inconveniences, especially with reference to the aesthetic agreeableness of the kitchen appliance when not being used. [0006] Therefore, the main purpose of this invention is to provide a complementary element which can be placed over the base incorporating the motor of the worktop kitchen appliance, transforming the whole thing into a bowl or a vase of flowers, or even into a tray with stand, possibly decorated externally, so as to transform the entire appliance into a highly aesthetic element, also having a decorative function, as in the case of a flower vase, or functional - decorative role, as in the case of a bowl suitable for holding fruit, or a tray suitable for containing bread. [0007] Advantageously, this complementary element is in turn equipped with a piece of its own base, so that when it is released from the motorized base of the kitchen appliance, given that the latter must be utilized for its main purpose, the complementary element continues to carry out its aesthetic function as a container, vase or similar.
[0008] For this purpose, the base of the complementary element is created in such a way as to form the component which connects to the base of the kitchen appliance. [0009] According to an embodiment relating to this invention, the afore-mentioned connecting devices of said element are devices capable of engaging and uniting with the external form of at least the apical part of said base. [0010] According to a further embodiment of this invention, said engaging devices are suitable for engaging and uniting the internal form of the coupling slot of said work elements in the afore-mentioned base. [0011] Alternatively, said engaging devices of the afore-mentioned element are devices suitable for engaging and uniting the internal form of the engagement slot of said work components at the same time within said base together with the external forms of at least the apical part of said base. [0012] Advantageously, at least the apical part of the base of the kitchen appliance presents ward devices which co-operate with said engaging devices of the aforementioned complementary element . [0013] In addition, advantageously the covering element also masks the control knobs of the motor, rendering the appliance particularly agreeable from an aesthetic point of view.
[0014] In addition, advantageously the covering element covers the end of the shaft connected to the motor projecting from the base, for the added safety of those working in the kitchen. [0015] Additional purposes and advantages of this invention will appear in more detail during the following detailed description of certain preferred feasible forms of the invention, made with reference to the attached figures, where :
- figure 1 is an elevated view of a base of a kitchen appliance dismantled from the covering element shaped like a bowl according to this invention; - figure 2 is a longitudinal section view of the whole of figure 1, and
- figure 3 is an elevated view of the covering element of figure 1, dismantled from the base of the appliance and rested independently on the supporting surface. [0016] With reference to the figures, and with particular reference to figures 1 and 2 of the same, by means of 1 the base of a small worktop kitchen appliance is indicated, which could without distinction be a blender, a juice squeezer or similar. [0017] As more fully illustrated in figure 2, the base 1 rests, in a completely normal manner, on a series of feet 2, and houses the electric motor 3 whose shaft drives, possibly via a train of reducing gears (not illustrated) , a shaft 4 whose unrounded end 5 (or otherwise shaped as a snap-in fit) projects into a cylindrical cavity 6 created in the upper part of the base 1.
[0018] When using the appliance, the end 5 connects with a complementary slot-in element borne by the operative implement (not illustrated) of the appliance, for example with a slot-in element for driving the blades mounted inside a blender, or similar.
[0019] The wall of base 1 presents a peripheral terraced recess 7, 107 in the apical part of its external shell for the purposes which will be described further on. [0020] Numeral reference 8 generically indicates the covering element shaped like a container according to the invention. [0021] In the feasible form illustrated, this element comprises a bowl-shaped part 108 closed at the end by a wall 109, and it extends further down by means of a slotlike part 110 whose internal wall unites in a complementary fashion with the part 107 of the base 1, and whose lower end leans on the terraced part 7 of the base 1 itself. Furthermore, a ring-like element 111 extends from the external side of the bottom wall 109, which fits into the cylindrical cavity 6 of the base 1. [0022] Thanks to these systems of support, the bowl- shaped wall 8 is firmly supported in the base 1, with which it integrates fully also masking, if necessary, the control knobs (not illustrated) of the drive of motor 3 by means of the part 110.
[0023] When one wishes to use the kitchen appliance, the bowl 8 is removed, lifting it from the base 1, and can be set down, by means of the part 110, which becomes the supporting base of the bowl 108, on any supporting surface area, as illustrated in figure 3.
[0024] The advantages of the unit described and illustrated appear evident . [0025] By means of the covering unit placed on top, the base unit of the appliance-covering element transforms into a new ornamental objective whilst also having a distinct function, which precisely can be a bowl suitable for holding fruit, or a vase for flowers, or rather a tray suitable for containing bread, etc. for example.
[0026] When one wishes to re-use the appliance, the covering element is simply lifted from the base of the latter and rested on a table, where it continues to carry out its function as container. [0027] This container may be decorated in various manners, and/or may be created in different materials, such as plastic, glass, metal, and the like.
[0028] Naturally, this invention is not limited to the executive embodiments illustrated and described, but comprises all those variants and/or modifications falling within the broadest sphere of the inventive concept.
[0029] In one embodiment, this worktop kitchen appliance comprises at least one operating implement suitable for the performance of kitchen tasks such as blending, centrifuging and the like; an electric motor 3 which can be associated with said operating implement in order to drive it for the performance of the aforementioned kitchen tasks, said electric motor being operatively connected to said kitchen implement; control devices for said electric motor 3, suitable for being manipulated by an operator in order to activate and/or de- active said motor; a base 1 inside which said electric motor 3 is housed; a covering element 8 with its separate function, for example a bowl, a vase, a tray, said covering element being suitable for being firmly supported on the base 1. This covering element 8, supported on the base 1, also masks the afore-mentioned control devices of the electric motor 3. [0030] In a further embodiment, this worktop kitchen appliance includes at least one operating implement suitable for carrying out kitchen tasks such as blending, centrifuging and the like; an electric motor 3 which can be associated with said operating implement in order to drive it for the performance of the afore-mentioned kitchen tasks, said electric motor being operatively connected to said kitchen implement via a shaft 4 featuring an end 5; a base 1 inside which said electric motor 3 is housed, said end 5 projecting from the aforementioned base 1; a covering element 8 with its separate function, for example a bowl, a vase, a tray, said covering element being suitable for being firmly supported on the base 1. This covering element, associated with said base, covers the base consenting access to just a portion of the same from which the afore-mentioned end 5 of the shaft 4 does not protrude. [0031] In another further variant, this worktop kitchen appliance includes at least one operating implement suitable for carrying out kitchen tasks such as blending, centrifuging and the like; an electric motor 3 which can be associated with said operating implement in order to drive it for the performance of the aforementioned kitchen tasks, said electric motor being operatively connected to said kitchen implement via a shaft 4 featuring an end 5; base 1 inside which said electric motor 3 is housed, said end 5 projecting from the
