Abstract
The present invention relates to an apparatus for connecting appliance lines to cooking plates, hobs or hotplates. Our of the bottom of the electric hotplate, connecting pins (19b) extend for connection to connecting members (33) of a connecting piece (31) that is part of the appliance line. From a passage through an insulating member (20b) in the bottom of the hotplate, the connecting pins (19b) project outwards towards the circumference of the hotplate body (2b). In a transportation mode the pins can be resiliently and completely countersunk in the underside of the hotplate. In the vicinity of the front end of the connecting members (33) of the appliance plug, the connecting piece (31) of the plug has a threading and guidance apparatus for the connecting pins (19b) that does not project beyond the outer circumference of hotplate body (2b), thereby ensuring an automatic, positonally correct connection between the connecting piece (31) and connecting pins (19b).
