Abstract
The invention is directed to a multi-purpose kitchen apparatus for processing foods, with a container (1) having arranged in a bore (20) in a container bottom (2) a bearing sleeve (4) in which a tool shaft (5) extending through the container bottom (2, 3) is journalled for rotary movement therein. The one end (35) of the tool shaft (5) is adapted to be connected with a drive motor through a coupling means (7), while the other (23) end is adapted be connected through a coupling member (8) with a processing tool for processing the foodstuffs. The bearing sleeve (4) is secured within the bore (20) of the container bottom (2, 3) by means of at least one resilient intermediate ring (9, 10) radially surrounding the bearing sleeve (4). This results in a bearing arrangement which affords particular ease of manufacture, is stable and has a low noise level.
