<p>The invention relates to a food-processor accessory (13) comprising a container (15), a rotatable tool (23), a support (21) for the tool, and a coupling member (27) by means of which the tool can be coupled to a drive member (9) which is arranged in a main housing (1) of a food processor, the container being detachably coupled to the support. According to the invention, the accessory is provided with a safety member (31) and a locking device (33), which co-operates with said safety member. The safety member can be displaced relatively to the coupling member from a first position, in which the safety member prevents the coupling member from being coupled to the drive member, to a second position, in which the safety member allows the coupling member to be coupled to the drive member, the locking device locking the safety member in its first position when the container is uncoupled from the support and releasing the safety member when the container is coupled to the support. Thus, it is prevented that the tool can be driven by the drive member when the container is not coupled to the support, so that the user of the accessory cannot be injured by the rotating tool. In a preferred embodiment, the safety member is annular and completely surrounds the coupling member in its first position.</p> |
