Support for the electric motor of a kitchen machine in particular lemon squeezer

The invention relates to a support (1) for an electric motor (4) of a kitchen machine, in particular a lemon squeezer, which has a board (2) consisting of insulating material with a holder for the attachment of the motor (4). Constructed on the board (2) are end sections (13 to 16) which can be connected via connecting cables (which are not shown) to an electrical power source and which are used for the connection of contact tabs or contact pins (18) which are constructed on the motor (4). The contact pins (18) are connected to the end sections (13 to 16) in the form of touching contacts. The end sections (13 to 16) are constructed on conductor tracks (5 to 8) which are stamped out of sheet metal and are constructed to be elastically deformable in such a manner that the contact pins (18) of the motor (4) can be pressed in a resiliently elastic manner against the end sections (13 to 16) when said motor is being displaced in the longitudinal direction of the motor axis. Contact tabs (23, 24) which are adjacent to one another on the conductor tracks (5, 6) are integrally formed in order to form a switch, one of which contact tabs (23) can be pressed against the other contact tab (24) by elastic deformation, with the aid of a moveable operating element (27). In consequence, a connection of the contact pins (18) of the motor (4) to the end sections (14, 15) which are constructed on conductor tracks (5 to 8) is formed in a manner which can be produced cost-effectively and can be installed easily, the conductor tracks (5 to 8) also forming an electrical switch (23, 24) at the same time.
