The basic components of the oven toaster according to the invention are will now be explained with reference to FIGS. 4 and 5. The toaster includes two inner side panels 22 and 24 made of sheet metal, the upper ones being jacketed electrical heating elements 26 and 28, an upper reflector 30, lower reflectors 31 and 33, lower heating elements 32 and 3 ^ 4 and a lower baffle 36, which is provided with slots is.

According to the invention, the two side plates 22 and 2 ¹ I of sheet metal, the upper reflector 30, the upper heating elements 26 and 28, the lower reflectors 31 and 33, the bottom heating elements 32 and 34, the guide plate 36 and the front door 16 are all together connected without the use of separate fasteners. As can be seen in particular from FIG. 4, the two side plates 22 and 24 are provided with numerous slots and holes for receiving these structural components. Upper slots 40 are formed in the left side plate 22 and upper slots 42 are formed in the right side plate 24 for receiving connecting tongues 46 and 48, respectively, which are formed on opposite sides of the upper reflector 30 in one piece therewith. Spaced and generally circular openings 50 and 52 are provided in the left side plate 22 and generally circular openings 54 and 56 are provided in the right side plate 24 to provide the upper jacketed heating elements 26 and 28, respectively, together with their ceramic insulators 60, 62, 64 and 66 .

It can also be seen that there is a lower rear slot 68 in the left side panel 22 and in the right side panel 24 a lower rear slot for receiving tongues 76 and 78 are formed with the lower rear reflector 31 are formed in one piece. Furthermore, openings 94 and 96 are formed in the side walls 22 and 24, respectively, into which the lower encased heating elements 32 and 34 together with their ceramic

209822/0585

isolators 75 and the guide plate 36 can be used ready for use. The front door 16 is provided with pivot pins 104 and 106 and the side panels 22 and 24 have suitable openings 108 and 110 which receive these pivot pins. With this arrangement of the parts according to the invention it is made clear that all the components mentioned can be assembled ready for use in one operation by simply holding the reflectors, the heating elements, the door and their pivot pins next to the corresponding slots and holes and then moving the side plates towards one another, thereby inserting the tabs, pivot pins and ceramic insulators and the ends of the jacketed heating elements into the corresponding slots and holes in the side plates 22 and 2 ² I, and then holding the side plates apart. This can be achieved in that the tongues formed on the upper reflector and the lower reflector are bent or folded over. Additionally, a lower front panel 18 may be attached to the side panels 22 and 24 by screws or other fasteners to hold the side panels in their assembled position.

According to the present invention, the isolators 60, 62, 64, P 66 and 75 for the jacketed heating elements and the side plates 22 and 24 shaped and arranged to support the heating elements 26, 28, 32 and 34 on the side plates and the Isolate heating elements from the side panels without using any separate fasteners. the Reflectors 30, 31 and 33 and the side plates 22 and 24 form a unitary construction that holds the isolators and heating elements in place.

As particularly shown in the lower portion of Fig. 6, each of the elongated jacketed heating elements 26, 28, 32 and 34 have two electrically conductive pins 51 and 53, which are from opposite Ends of a metal jacket 55 protrude,

209822/0585

surrounding the heating element 57, usually between the heating element 57 and the jacket 55 a suitable insulation 59 for insulating the heating element and the pole pins provided opposite the Metallunantelung 55. The insulation 59 is compressed a little at the ends of the jacket, around a smooth, generally curved insulating surface between the ends of the jacket 55 and the pole pins 51 and 53 to form.

The four insulators 60, 62, 64 and 66 for the upper heating elements are preferably made of a ceramic material and are generally cylindrical in shape. As shown in FIG. 8, they have an enlarged cylindrical outer wall 61 and a smaller cylindrical outer wall 63

for insertion into one of the openings 50, 52, 5 ** and 56 formed in the side plates, and a generally curved outer wall 65 connecting the enlarged cylindrical outer wall 61 with the smaller cylindrical outer wall 63. The curved wall 65 is supported on the inner surface of the side plate in the vicinity of the openings 50, 52, 5 ¹ Y, or 56., in which it is used. As shown in Fig. 8, each of the generally cylindrical insulators 60, 62, 64 and 66 has an enlarged internal bore 67 for receiving the outer cylindrical face of a jacket 55 of one of the heating elements and a smaller cylindrical bore 69 which supports the pole pin receives from that heating element over which the insulator is arranged. An inclined inner wall 71 connects the enlarged bore 57 with the smaller bore 69 and serves as a seat for the end of the casing 55 and the compressed insulation 59 at the end of the casing.

As shown in particular in Figures 4 and 6, are the lower heating elements 32 and 34 arranged one above the other, and a pair of unusually shaped insulators 75 are provided which support heating elements 32 and 34 along with their baffle 36 hold. The insulators 75 have the shape of a generally

209822/0585

mean rectangular block and are provided with two reduced cylindrical outer surfaces 77 which are received in one of the two enlarged openings 94 or 6 formed in the side plates 22 and 24. The ceramic insulators 75 for supporting the lower heating elements 32 and 34 have smaller and larger internal bores 100 and 102 which are generally similar to the internal bores 67 and 69 of the cylindrical insulators 60, 62, 64 and 66 and which receive the protruding ends of the upper heating elements .

The lower ceramic insulators 75 also support the baffle 36 of the heating element. As can be seen in particular from FIG. 6, an upwardly projecting shoulder 83 is formed on each of the ceramic insulators 75 and receives counter slots 85 formed in the end sections of the guide plate 36. With this arrangement, the baffle 36 can be attached to the top of the lower insulators by the protruding lug 83 protruding through the slots 85 and, as particularly shown in FIG are crimped over the end of a generally horizontal top wall 89 of the insulators. The lower heating elements 32 and 3k, along with their insulators and baffle 36, can be preassembled to be inserted as a unit into holes 94 and 96 formed in side plates 22 and 24, respectively. To this end, as shown particularly in Figures 4 and 5, a suitable bracket 91 can be used to connect the central portions of the heating elements together so that the lower heating element assembly is operatively brought into its proper position with respect to the side panels, reflectors and other toaster elements can be.

With this arrangement according to the invention it is made clear that the insulators very much the heating elements on the electric toasting oven hold safely and effectively without any additional

209822/0586

Connection devices are used. In addition, the projection 83 formed in one piece and protruding upwards is provided provided on the lower insulators to the baffle 36 to wear and fasten. Thus, an inexpensive construction with a minimum number of parts is achieved.

According to the invention, the upper reflector 30 is provided with numerous im generally flat heat reflective surfaces, and the jacketed heating elements 26 and 28 are with respect thereto heat reflective surfaces are uniquely arranged to absorb the heat from the heating elements with an essentially uniform intensity down to reflect the entire grating surface. As in particular in Figures 4 and 5, the top reflector 30 generally includes five flat horizontal section 39 at the rear of the reflector, a generally flat section 41, which with respect to of the reflector portion 39 extends forward and upward at an angle, a larger, generally horizontal one Reflector section 43, from the section 4l after Running forward is a generally flat and downwardly extending reflector portion 45 extending from the reflector portion 43 extends forward, and a relatively short, generally horizontal reflector section 47 extending from the downwardly extending reflector portion 45 extends forward. The front and rear upper heating elements 26 and 28 are exceptionally well positioned in relation to each other and to the reflective surfaces of the top reflector, in order for a uniform reflection of the heat radiated by the heating elements towards the bottom of the support grid 4 foods to worry about.

The heating elements and reflective surfaces are special arranged to each other so that the heat emerging from the heating elements is evenly distributed over the toast surface will. Obviously, if such a condition were not

209822/0585

A toasted bread slice would be darker in the area where the heat can be concentrated on the same surface as a result of the reflection of both heating elements. In order to provide concentrated reflections on the same surface and to ensure a very even distribution of the reflected heat, the apex of the angle or line 49 formed by the connection of the upper horizontal reflector section 43 and the upwardly extending rear reflector section 41 is arranged in front of the heating element 28. With this construction, the heat reflected by the reflector Hl passes from the rear portion of the toast rack to a front portion of the toast rack, and further the heat reflected by the upper horizontal reflector 43 is also directed to the front portion of the toast rack. The heat of the heating element 26, which is reflected by the reflector 43, is directed from the front of the toast rack 4 to the rear section of the toast rack, with the greatest heat intensity being at the front section of the toast rack. The heat reflected by reflector 45 extends from the front of the toast rack to the central portion of the toast rack. This arrangement combines the reflected heat with the heat radiated directly from the heating elements in order to ensure that the heat is evenly distributed over the toast rack.

According to the invention are the two lower jacketed heating elements 32 and 34 excellent to each other and to one extraordinary shaped and slotted baffle 36 arranged to be straight the correct distribution of the convection heat flows from the heating elements to be delivered upstairs to the toasted bread slices or the cooked meal. As in particular in Figures 6 and 9, the heating elements 32 and 34 are generally arranged vertically to one another and the baffle plate 36 is attached above the upper heating element 32. The guide plate catfish a generally horizontal wall 79 and two downwardly extending vertical walls 80 and 81. Ii the upper

209822/0585

- li -

horizontal surface 79 of the baffle are numerous longitudinally arranged slots 82 formed. With this construction, certain convection currents can be combined with a certain Small amount of radiant heat can flow through the slots formed in the top surface 79 of the baffle 36 are.

From the above description, as well as the reflection lines and the convection heat flow shown in FIG. 9, it is clear that the heat profile in the toaster allows just the right amount of heat to appear evenly on both sides of the toasting rack 4 in order to toast slices of bread evenly or an OfY ^ Dinnerjoder to evenly cook another meal that can be placed on the toast rack. It can also be seen that this is achieved using a minimal number of parts that can easily be joined together. The radiant heat and the heat reflected from the upper heating elements 26 and 28 are uniformly supplied to the toast rack H by appropriately bending the upper reflector 30 into the shape shown in FIGS. In addition, the heating elements 26 and 28vin are positioned at the desired distance and angle from the various reflective sections of the reflector by simply placing the holes 50, 52, 5 ² I and 56 in the correct locations in the side panels 22 and 24 Sheet metal can be arranged. Thus an extremely simple yet effective and reliable heating arrangement was created which is suitable for cooking pieces that are as large as frozen TV dinners.

The following is the reliable and cheap front door construction for an oven toaster with a minimal number of parts that are fully assembled and those too can be easily dismantled from the oven toaster without removing parts other than door parts.

209822/0588

As shown in Figures 2, 3 '5 and 7 belong to the basic components of the front door an inner panel 150 of sheet metal, an outer panel 152, a glass window 15 ¹ I, a handle 156 and pivot pins 104 and 106. The parts are specifically constructed and arranged so that the glass window 154 is removed

and can be replaced without any dismantling must be done on the toaster itself. As from the Figures can be seen, both the inner panels 150 as The outer panels 152 are also made from sheet metal and have enlarged openings 162 and 164, respectively. Along the outer perimeter raised flanges 166 and 168 are formed on both panels and so are raised flanges 170 and 172 around the perimeter of enlarged openings 162 and 164, respectively, of the panels educated. With this arrangement, it can be seen that the door is of sufficient thickness to accommodate the glass window 154 and two fasteners 174 and 176 for the pivot pins.

As shown particularly in Figures 2, 3 and 7, fasteners 174 and 176 are shaped to perform numerous functions. The left fastener 176 is constructed so that a pivot pin I80 can be easily removed from the fastener and door assembly to remove the door components from the oven toaster without dismantling any other components of the oven toaster. As can be seen in Figure 3, the left fastener has a generally flat wall portion 182 which can be used to securely attach the fastener to the inner panel 150 by a rivet 184 or other fastening means. Furthermore, the fastening element has outwardly protruding flange sections I86, 188, 190 and 192. The flange portions 186 and 188 are used, ^az zHiei bearing openings 194 and form 196, which are arranged in a line with a suitable slot 198 that is mounted in the outer peripheral flange of the Irinenpaneele to accommodate the pivot pin I80.

209822 / 058S

The raised splash 192 is intended as a stop, on which a horizontal forearm 200 of the generally U-shaped pivot pin 180 rests to allow axial sliding movement of the Pin 180 from openings 194 and 196 in the flanges of the fastening element and to prevent the opening 108 out of the side plate of the oven toaster is formed.

From Pig. 3 it can be seen that the left pivot pin is generally U-shaped and has two generally parallel arms 202 and 204, a forearm 200 and a short arm 206 which is disposed generally perpendicular to the plane of the other arms. The arm 206 is slightly smaller than the thickness of the front door to trap the pivot pin between the front door panels without rattling. According to the present invention, the left pivot pin 180 is first positioned inside the front door in FIG. 2 and the complete door is installed in the side plates 22 and 24 by inserting the long arm 202 of the pivot pin into the opening 108 which is located in the side plate 22 of the oven toaster.

As can be seen from Figure 7, the right fastener 174 for the pivot pin is generally similar to the left fastener. However, if the aim is not to use a removable pivot pin, a rigid pivot pin 106 suitably riveted to upwardly extending arm 210 of the right fastener will.

Both fasteners 174 and 176 generally have flat flange portions 210 and 212 for holding the glass window 154 between the outer and inner panels. How out the Bigurs 2, 5 and 7 can be seen, these flanges act with an inwardly bent tongue I63, which is on the outer

209822/0585

Panels 152 is formed together to the effect that they limit a vertical up and down movement of the glass window 154. Upwardly extending Planschabschnitte 219 and 190 are formed in one piece with the fastening elements 17 ¹ I and 176, respectively, to limit movement of the glass wall 154 to the right and to the left. These limitations are shown in FIGS. These brackets 219 and 190 of the fastening elements 174 and 176 also have the additional function of pivotably attaching the members 232 and 230 for the control of the door operation.

With this arrangement of the parts according to the invention it is clear that the door can be made ready for use in that simply fasteners 174 and 176 for the pivot pins riveted to the inner panel of the door, the pivot pin 104 inserted into the position shown in FIG. 2 and the glass window 154 between the flanges 219, 190, 210 and 212 of the fasteners is arranged.

In order for the toasting oven according to the invention to have a tasteful appearance, as shown in FIG. 1, the outer panels 152 are somewhat Made larger than the inner panels 150 so that the circumferential flanges 166 of the inner panels within the circumferential flanges 168 of the outer panels 152 are arranged.

As is apparent from Figures 1 and 5, holes 254 are formed in the outer panels 250 and larger openings in the inner panels, which receive inwardly projecting lugs 260, which may be formed with the door handle of one piece. Thus, the door handle 156 and the inner and outer panels 150 and 152 can be securely attached to one another by simply sliding the tabs 26O of the door handle through the enlarged openings 250 of the outer panels and screws 252 or other suitable fasteners through the holes 254 of the inner panels and into the Openings 264 are used, which are in the lugs 260

209822/0585

can be formed. As a result, the completed door is held together by two screws 252.

If, for whatever reason, the door is to be removed from the oven toaster, it is only necessary to open the door as shown in FIG. 1, unscrew the screws 252 to fold the inner panels away from the front or outer panels 152, the glass plate 15 ¹ *, grasp the upper arm 180 of the left hinge pin and rotate the pin forward around the long arm 202 until the lower arm 200 of the pin is removed behind the stop 192. Then the left pivot pin can be pulled to the right to pull the long arm 202 out of the openings 108 in the side panel and openings 194 and 196 in the fastener. The members 23O and

232 can then by a mechanism 234 for actuating the Door can be separated by removing the ends of links 230 and 232 can simply be moved inwards to the bearing holes 231 and

233 of the links of actuating pins 235 of mechanism 234 slide down to operate the door. Then the left section of the interior panels moves a little forward and to the left pivoted to remove the rigid pivot pin 106 from the opening 110 formed in the right side plate 24 is. It goes without saying that the procedure must be reversed if the front door is to be reinserted into the oven toaster.

With this arrangement of the parts according to the invention, it becomes clear that after the initial production, the oven door is fully assembled as a prefabricated part and then at the same time with the Side plates 22 and 24 can be connected to which the heating elements and reflectors are built into the side plates. It can also be seen that after the toaster production is complete, the oven door is removed from the toaster and again can be inserted into the toaster by simply removing the two screws 252 and separating the door parts,

209822/0585

without the side panels 22 and 24 or other basic components of the electric oven toaster are disturbed. Thus, it is an extremely simple and excellent door construction has been achieved with a minimal number of parts.
