ABSTRACT:
A food processor includes a main body with a graspable handle. A drive motor in the main body drives a shaft that projects up into a container and a rotor on the shaft processes food in the vessel. A cover removably disposed on the container is rotatable between an unlocked and a lockable position. An electric switch includes a switch lever pivotable up and down, and upon downward pivoting of the switch lever, the electric contacts to the motor are closed. A projection from the switch lever projects toward the body. A regulating member movable laterally of the body is contacted by the projection on the switch lever which prevents the switch lever from moving down. An operating piece projecting from the cover engages the regulating member and moves it out of the path of the projection. The operating piece on the cover has a cutout defined in it which receives the projection on the switch lever and enables the switch lever to be pivoted down to close the contacts. The engagement of the projection in the cutout on the operating piece locks the cover to the container, whereby so long as the switch activates the motor for driving the shaft for the rotor, the cover cannot be removed.
