[0095] On the underside 24 of the collecting pot bottom 12in the radial direction R between the adapter shaft through opening 26 and an outer circumferential edge 27 of the collecting pot bottom 12a fastening collar 28 is formed, which extends cylindrically away from the underside 24 of the collecting pot bottom 12, starting on the underside 24 of the collecting pot bottom 12 (see, e.g., FIG. 1, 4, 5, 6, 8b, 9, 11). The fastening collar 28 thus composed in the shape of a plurality of fastening webs 60 forming the fastening collar 28, which are lined up in a circle spaced apart from one another (see FIG. 2, 5).

[0096] The fastening collar 28 is formed and dimensioned in such a way that, in the operating state setup, it engages with the preparation pot filling opening 9, wherein fastening means are arranged on the fastening collar 28, which provide a protection against an axial displacement of the collecting pot 10 relative to the preparation pot 3 when the fastening collar 28 engages with the preparation pot filing opening 9.

[0097] In one variation (see FIG. 4), the fastening means are several locking lugs 29, which are formed on the fastening collar and which, during the engagement of the fastening collar 28 with the preparation pot filling opening 9, lock with the preparation pot lid. In a further variation (FIG. 9), the fastening means are means 30 for providing bayonet closure connections, which, when the fastening collar 28 engages with the preparation pot filling opening 9, form bayonet closure connections with the preparation pot lid 8.

[0098] The means 30 can also provide snap closures with the preparation pot lid 8.

[0099] As shown in FIGS. 3 and 7c, a polygonal (here hexagonal) outer contour is formed on the second adapter shaft end 18 in a contour section 31.

[0100] The support shaft 19 comprises a support sleeve 32, which, on a first support sleeve end 33, has a first sleeve receptacle 34, which forms the second support shaft end 21 and has a polygonal (here hexagonal) inner contour. In the operating state setup, the contour section 31 engages at least partially with the first sleeve receptacle 34 and forms a non-positive and/or positive connection with the latter, wherein the outer contour of the contour section 31 corresponds to the inner contour of the first sleeve receptacle 34. The adapter shaft 16 is formed to taper in the direction of the second adapter shaft end 18 at least in the region of the contour section 31. In the region of the first support sleeve end 33, the support sleeve 32 has a beveled run-on section 35, which provides for a simplified coupling of the second support shaft end 21 to the second adapter shaft end 18.

[0101] In the case of the second exemplary embodiment (see the corresponding figures), the support sleeve 32 has, on a second support sleeve 36 end located opposite the first support sleeve end 33, a second sleeve receptacle 37, into which a bearing bolt 38 is inserted, in particular pressed in with a first bearing bolt end 39 in a non-positive manner, positive manner, and/or by means of a substance-to-substance bond, wherein the bearing bolt 38 is received with a second bearing bolt end 40 located opposite the first bearing bolt end 39 in a bearing receptacle 41 formed in the collecting pot lid 15 so as to be secured against axial displacement with respect to a bearing bolt longitudinal axis, which forms a part of the support shaft longitudinal axis TL, and is rotatably mounted about the bearing bolt longitudinal axis or the support shaft longitudinal axis TL, respectively. As shown in FIG. 4, the bearing receptacle 41 is realized by means of a bearing ring 61, in which the bearing bolt 38 is received with its second bearing bolt end 40. The axial protection against displacement is realized by means of an undercut 42 of the bearing bolt 38 (with respect to the bearing ring 61), as shown, e.g., in FIG. 4. The bearing ring 61 preferably likewise has an undercut 62 relative to a support flange in the collecting pot lid 15.

[0102] In the case of the first exemplary embodiment (see the corresponding figures, e.g., FIG. 1), the support sleeve 32 has, on a second support sleeve end 36 located opposite the first support sleeve end 33, a circumferential bearing edge 43, which is received in a bearing slot 44 formed in the collecting pot lid 15 so as to be secured against axial displacement with respect to the support shaft longitudinal axis TL and which is rotatably mounted about the support shaft longitudinal axis TL. Starting at the bearing edge 43, the support sleeve 32 has a funnel section 45, which tapers in a funnel-like manner in the direction of the first support sleeve end 33, wherein a receiving slot 46 for a chopping tool 22 is formed on a lower end of the funnel section 45, and wherein, in the operating state setup, a chopping tool 22 is inserted into the receiving slot 46 (FIG. 1). As further shown in FIG. 1, the collecting pot lid 15 has a filling nozzle 47, which, in the operating state setup, is arranged in alignment with the funnel section 45, and via which, in the operating state setup, food to be chopped can be pushed in the direction of the funnel section 45 and of the chopping tool 22 using a pusher 48, which can be plugged into the filling nozzle.

[0103] In the case of the second exemplary embodiment, the chopping tool 22 is a cutting disk (see, e.g., FIG. 3), which is connected in a rotationally fixed manner to a cutting disk support sleeve 49, which protrudes through the cutting disk in a centered manner, wherein, in the operating state setup, the cutting disk support sleeve 49 is releasably pushed onto the support sleeve 32, and is secured against axial displacement with respect to the support shaft longitudinal axis TL by means of locking means 50 arranged on the support sleeve 32, and wherein, when pushed onto the support sleeve 32, the cutting disk support sleeve 49 is connected to said support sleeve in a rotationally fixed manner. This takes place by means of a polygonal inner contour of the cutting disk support sleeve 49 and a polygonal outer contour of the support sleeve 32 (see FIG. 7a in connection with FIG. 7d). In the case of this exemplary embodiment, the collecting pot lid 15 also has a filling nozzle 47, via which food, which is to be chopped in the operating state setup, can be pushed in the direction of the cutting disk using a pusher 48, which can be plugged into the filling nozzle 47.

[0104] On its inner jacket surface 51 facing the collecting pot interior 11, the collecting pot jacket 13 has (in the case of both exemplary embodiments) several webs 52, which extend at least partially in a direction from the collecting pot bottom 12 all the way to the collecting pot opening 14 and which protrude into the collecting pot interior 11, wherein the webs 52 prevent an unwanted attaching of the cutting disk support sleeve 49, which is connected to the cutting disk, to the second adapter shaft end 18.
