ABSTRACT:
A kitchen machine is provided having a motor housing (5) on which an attachment (25) with a rotatable tool (33) may be placed, so that the tool (33) is removably attached to an end (35) of a drive shaft (43) which is drivable by an electric motor (23) arranged in the motor housing (5). The end (35) of the drive shaft (43) is self-aligning relative to the motor housing (5) by a displacement parallel to an X-direction transverse to the drive shaft (43) and a displacement parallel to a Y-direction transverse to the drive shaft (43) and the X-direction, so that the end (35) of the drive shaft (43) can align itself with the position of the tool (33) when the attachment (25) is placed in position, and friction losses between the end (35) of the drive shaft (43) and the tool (33) are minimal during operation.
In a special embodiment of the kitchen machine, the movability of the end (35) of the drive shaft (43) is achieved in that the electric motor (23) with the drive shaft (43) is tiltable relative to the motor housing (5) about a first pivot axis (65) directed parallel to the X-direction and a second pivot axis (85) directed parallel to the Y-direction.
