Abstract:
An accessory for a food processor, which comprises:a tool,a support in which the tool is rotatably journalled,a coupling member by means of which the tool can be coupled to a drive member of the food processor,a container which is detachably coupled to the support,an annular safety member which is displaceable relatively to the coupling member from a first position, in which the safety member precludes coupling of the coupling member to the drive member, to a second position in which the safety member permits coupling of the coupling member to the drive member, anda locking device which co-operates with said safety member to lock the safety member in its first position when the container is uncoupled from the support, and to release the safety member when the container is coupled to the support,wherein in the first position of the annular safety member, the coupling member is surrounded by the annular safety member, and in the second position of the annular safety member the coupling member projects from the safety member.
