Abstract
A kitchen appliance, such as a meat grinder, a vegetable slicer, or the like, includes a housing which has a protrusion on its front side, such protrusion constituting an outlet through which a processed food emerges from the interior of the housing to its exterior. A cover is mounted on the housing in a protective position in which it covers the front surface of the housing in its entirety, including the protrusion. The housing has a base which rests on a support surface and has an extension projecting forwardly beyond the front surface of the housing proper and the cover has a circumferential wall formed with a cutout in which the extension of the base is accommodated in the protective position of the cover. The cover is usable as a receiving container for the processed food emerging from the protrusion of the housing. In the latter instance, it assumes an extended position in which it is supported on the support surface and a depression thereof receives the extension of the base. The circumferential walls overlap and surround the corresponding walls of the housing in the protective position, and one of them is received in a groove of the front side of the housing in the extended position, for attaching the cover to the housing.
