Zusammenfassung:The present invention relates to mounting of accessory parts to a main unit of a handheld kitchen appliance. In order to provide a facilitated way of operation, a handheld kitchen appliance interface (10) for releasably mounting of an accessory part to a main unit, comprising a body structure (12), an insertion opening (14), a locking device (16), and an activation device (18). The insertion opening is provided in the body structure for inserting an insert end of an accessory or of a main part of a handheld kitchen appliance. The locking device comprises at least one engagement element (20) moveably guided by the body structure and being movable between a first position (P1), in which the engagement element is provided to engage a locking element of an insert end of the accessory or the main part inserted into the opening to provide axial fixation of the insert end in relation to the body structure, and a second position (P2), in which the engagement element is provided to be disengaged to allow axial displacement of the insert end in relation to the body structure. The activation device comprises a button (24) for applying a manual release force. The locking device comprises at least one holding bracket (26) supported by the body structure in at least one fixation point (28) such that during an activation of the interface, the fixation point maintains stationary relative to the body structure. The at least one holding bracket comprises a bendable part (30) on which the engagement element is provided. Further, the manual release force causes a bending of the holding bracket resulting in a radially directed movement (32) of the at least one engagement element from the first to the second position.
