Abstract: A hot drinks machine is provided that is configured to perform a cleaning program and a descaling program, both of which require the use of a service function object. The hot drinks machine is formed with a holder for the service function object.

Abstract: A machine for preparing brewed drinks is provided and includes a brewing compartment for receiving drink substrate portions and a water supply for supplying a pressurized supply of water into the brewing compartment. The water supply is oriented in the brewing compartment in such that it would spray into a user region of the machine if the brewing compartment opens prematurely. However, a safety valve prevents the supplied water from entering into the brewing compartment when the brewing compartment is open.

Abstract: A brew head for a beverage brewer includes a lid, a handle rotatably mounted to the lid and including a cam surface, and a spring mounted to the lid with a follower that engages the cam surface such that movement of the handle from an open position to a closed position relative to the lid, or vice-versa, by a user causes the user to experience a clicking feeling.

Abstract: An automatic beverage dispenser comprises a receptacle for beverage substrate cartridges, one tap unit for a hot water inlet and one tap unit for dispensing a beverage into the receptacle for tapping the cartridge upon preparation of a beverage. The tap units are disposed on a common holder on the same side of the inserted cartridge, which is further improved by seals on each tap unit for the fluid-tight sealing thereof against the cartridge during the preparation operation. The seals are configured as a cohesive sealing part.

Abstract: A housing in a kitchen device, in particular, a household fruit press, includes an electric motor and a circuit board, both of which can be simply mounted. The motor and board are to be simply assembled in the housing by configuring the mounting as a hollow cylinder with elastically spring-like wall segments.

Abstract: A fruit press containing a centrally arranged element projecting upward from a base to a tip. The element base has an outer annular surface for the pressing of fruit. The annular surface having ridges on the outer surface that run from the base to the tip. The outer surface having trough-like recesses between the ridges with a cross-section substantially in the form of a circle.

Abstract: A fruit juicer includes an additional switch that determines the speed at which the fruit juicer, i.e., the element that receives the fruit to be squeezed out, revolves. A button, disposed on the outer wall of the housing, actuates a microcontroller such that more power is supplied to the electric motor to make it revolve at a higher speed. The inventive fruit juicer, therefore, allows the juice to be squeezed out from the pulp already removed from the fruit.

Abstract: A juicer has a tilting collecting dish that permits simple, loss-free pouring out of the fruit juice. It is unnecessary to remove the squeeze element with which the citrus fruit was pressed and/or the collecting container surrounding the squeeze element, from which the fruit juice drops into the collecting dish. In order to tilt the collecting dish, two opposing projections are provided on the outer side of the jacket wall thereof, which lie rotatably of pivotally in recesses on the inside of the housing wall.

Abstract: A juicer is driven by an electric motor. The juicer is provided with a centrally-arranged, projecting, upwardly-tapering element, for the pressing of a fruit. The pressing element may be driven by a driveshaft, connected to the element. The driveshaft may be displaced in the axial direction. By pressing downwards on the element, the driveshaft is pressed against a switching means and the electric motor switched on thereby.

Abstract: A food processor having a drive subassembly is disposed in the housing and coupled to a first and a second output shaft, each output shaft having with at least one coupling location for an attachment and, in addition, by the interposition of a gear mechanism, the output shafts being driven at different rotational speeds. The coupling of attachments requiring relatively small torques is simplified in that, spaced apart at a different level from its one coupling location, at least one of the two output shafts is provided with an additional coupling location for further attachments.

Abstract: A motorized kitchen appliance, especially a fruit press, includes a drive shaft which is prevented from being pulled out by a circlip that is mounted in a bead on the drive shaft. The circlip is prevented from rotating through the use of two legs and a housing part, that is a rod, which engages between the legs.

Abstract: A household appliance, in particular, a kitchen machine, includes a planetary gear disposed between an electric drive unit and an output shaft or drive shaft of the appliance and the stationary toothed ring of which is supported on the housing of the appliance by support arms (13) projecting radially outwardly on the outer circumference of the toothed ring. Good damping of the noise originating from the planetary gear is achieved by virtue of the fact that an elastic element preventing direct contact between the support arms and the fixing locations is respectively inserted between the support arms and the fixing locations on the housing.
