Abstract
A kitchen appliance, such as a meat grinder, is equipped with a suction plate arranged underneath the bottom of the housing of the appliance. The suction plate is attached to the housing by means of a shaft which is mounted on the lateral walls of the housing of the appliance and can be withdrawn to thereby detach the suction plate from the housing of the appliance. The suction plate has an aperture in a connecting element thereof, and the shaft has an eccentric crank portion which is received in the aperture and lifts it upwardly, together with the central region of the suction plate, when the shaft is pivoted from a rest position to an extended position. When the shaft is pivoted further beyond the extended position, it reaches a releasing position in which the shaft can be withdrawn to dissociate the suction plate from the housing. A bulge on the connecting element, located beyond a dead-center position of the shaft, holds the shaft in its extended position.
