Kitchen device with suction foot

Abstract

This device can be released from the surface with an improved ease of use, because holding the device and releasing the device from the surface effectively have become a single, intuitive manual action by the user.

1 . A kitchen device comprising:
 a grip for manually holding the device, the grip defining a grip area,   a first suction foot attached to the device and arranged to secure the device to a surface by means of suction against the surface,   an actuator connected to the first suction foot and extending in the grip area, the actuator being arranged to transfer an actuating force acting on the actuator into a releasing force acting on the first suction foot to release the first suction foot from the surface.   
     
     
         2 . The kitchen device as claimed in  claim 1 , further comprising a second suction foot, the second suction foot being attached to the device and arranged to secure the device to the surface by means of suction against the surface, wherein the actuator is arranged to transfer the actuating force into a second releasing force acting on the second suction foot to release the second suction foot from the surface. 
     
     
         3 . The kitchen device as claimed in  claim 2 , wherein the actuator, the first suction foot, and the second suction foot are made of a single piece of the same material. 
     
     
         4 . The kitchen device as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein at least one of the first suction foot, the second suction foot and the actuator is made at least partly from a flexible rubber-like material. 
     
     
         5 . The kitchen device as claimed in  claim 2 , wherein a first extremity of the actuator is connected to the periphery of the first suction foot, and a second extremity of the actuator is connected to the periphery of the second suction foot. 
     
     
         6 . The kitchen device as claimed in  claim 5 , wherein a middle part of the actuator is connected to a central part of the grip area. 
     
     
         7 . The kitchen device as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein the actuator has an elongated shape.
