Description

本発明は、いわゆるポップアップ式と呼ばれるトースターに関するものであり、特に、焼かれるパンの表面に焼き模様を付けることができるトースターに関するものである。   The present invention relates to a so-called pop-up toaster, and more particularly to a toaster capable of providing a baking pattern on the surface of a baked bread.

従来、この種のトースターとしては、本体の焼き室の外側でパン受け台（本発明のパン受け部に相当する）に下端が係止されたコイルバネを設け、一対のパン保持枠（本発明の保持枠に相当する）の上端にその両端が係止されたリング状のねじりバネを設け、前記コイルバネの上端とねじりバネのリング部とを連結したものが知られている（例えば、特許文献１参照。）。そして、このように構成することにより、前記パン受け台に食パンを乗せて下降させると、前記コイルバネを介して前記ねじりバネのリング部が下方に引っ張られ、これによって、前記ねじりバネの両端が係止された前記パン保持枠の上端が引っ張られることで、一対の前記パン保持枠が下端を中心として上端側が狭まるように回動し、食パンが挟まれて位置決めされる。また、この種のトースターには、焼き模様を食パンの表面に形成することができるものが知られている（例えば、特許文献２参照。）。これは、ヒーター板（本発明のヒータに相当する）間に図形板（本発明の模様板に相当する）が取り付けられた保護杆（本発明の一方の保持枠に相当する）を設け、パン受杆（本発明のパン受け部に相当する）に食パンを乗せて下降させると、食パンが押圧杆によって前記図形板が取り付けられた保護杆に押し付けられるものである。そして、このように食パンを前記図形板が取り付けられた保護杆に押し付けると、食パンが前記図形板側のヒータに接近することで、焼き模様が付きやすくなる。（逆に言えば、前記図形板によって一方の前記ヒーター板からの熱が遮られるため、食パンの一方の面を良好に焼こうとすれば、食パンを一方の前記ヒーター板側に偏らせなければならない。）
特開平７−２０４１０５号公報 実開昭４９−１２３１６１号公報 Conventionally, as this type of toaster, a coil spring whose lower end is locked to a bread cradle (corresponding to the bread receiving portion of the present invention) outside the baking chamber of the main body is provided, and a pair of bread holding frames (of the present invention) A ring-shaped torsion spring whose both ends are locked at the upper end of a holding frame) is connected to the upper end of the coil spring and the ring portion of the torsion spring (for example, Patent Document 1). reference.). With this configuration, when the bread is placed on the bread cradle and lowered, the ring portion of the torsion spring is pulled downward via the coil spring, whereby both ends of the torsion spring are engaged. By pulling the upper end of the stopped bread holding frame, the pair of bread holding frames rotate so that the upper end side is narrowed around the lower end, and the bread is sandwiched and positioned. Moreover, what can form a baking pattern on the surface of bread is known for this kind of toaster (for example, refer patent document 2). This is because a protective plate (corresponding to one holding frame of the present invention), in which a graphic plate (corresponding to the pattern plate of the present invention) is attached between heater plates (corresponding to the heater of the present invention), a pan When bread is placed on a receiving bowl (corresponding to the bread receiving portion of the present invention) and lowered, the bread is pressed against the protective basket on which the graphic board is attached by a pressing bowl. Then, when the bread is pressed against the protective bowl to which the graphic board is attached in this way, the bread becomes close to the heater on the graphic board side, so that a baking pattern is easily attached. (Conversely, since the heat from one heater plate is blocked by the graphic plate, if one side of the bread is to be baked well, the bread must be biased toward the one heater plate. Must not.)
Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 7-204105 Japanese Utility Model Publication No. 49-123161

しかしながら、後者のようなトースターは、焼き模様を付けることができるトースターに限定された構造である。即ち、後者のようなトースターから図形板を取り外すと、食パンの一方の面が一方のヒーター板に接近する半面、食パンの他方の面が他方のヒーター板から離れてしまい、この結果、食パンの一方の面が他方の面よりも濃い焼き色に焼けてしまうという問題があり、図形板のないトースターには好ましくない構造であると言える。従って、後者のようなトースターでは、一つの製品のバリエーションとして、図形板を用いて食パンの表面に焼き模様を付けることができるものと、図形板を用いない一般的なものの両方を提供することが難しかった。   However, the toaster like the latter has a structure limited to a toaster that can be baked. That is, when the graphic board is removed from the latter toaster, one side of the bread is close to one heater plate, and the other side of the bread is separated from the other heater plate. There is a problem that the surface is burnt darker than the other surface, which can be said to be an unfavorable structure for a toaster without a graphic board. Therefore, in the latter toaster, as a variation of one product, it is possible to provide both a product that can be baked on the surface of bread using a graphic board and a general product that does not use a graphic board. was difficult.

そこで、前者のようなトースターの前記パン保持枠に模様板を取り付けることも考えられる。しかしながら、このようなトースターの前記パン保持枠に模様板を取り付けても、食パンの表面に焼き模様を良好に形成することが難しかった。何故ならば、前者のようなトースターでは、模様板を取り付けない状態において、前記パン保持枠によって、食パンと発熱体との距離が均等になるように構成されているばかりでなく、一方の前記パン保持枠に模様板を取り付けると、この模様板が取り付けられた前記パン保持枠の方が重くなることで、食パンが一方の前記パン保持枠に押されてしまい、むしろ食パンの焼き模様を付ける方の面が一方の前記発熱体から離れてしまう虞があるため、食パンの表面に焼き模様が良好に形成しにくいからである。   Therefore, it is also conceivable to attach a pattern board to the bread holding frame of the toaster like the former. However, even if a pattern plate is attached to the bread holding frame of such a toaster, it is difficult to form a baked pattern on the surface of the bread. This is because in the toaster as in the former, not only the distance between the bread and the heating element is equalized by the bread holding frame in a state where the pattern plate is not attached, When the pattern board is attached to the holding frame, the bread holding frame to which this pattern board is attached becomes heavier, so that the bread is pushed by one of the bread holding frames, rather, the bread baking pattern is applied. This is because it is difficult to form a baked pattern on the surface of the bread.

本発明は以上の問題点を解決し、焼き模様を良好に付けることができるトースターを容易に提供できるようにすることを目的とする。   An object of the present invention is to solve the above-mentioned problems and to easily provide a toaster capable of satisfactorily providing a baked pattern.

本発明の請求項１に記載のトースターは、本体と、この本体内に対向して設けられた複数のヒータと、前記ヒータ間に対で設けられたパンの位置決めを行う保持枠と、この保持枠の一方に取り付けられた模様板と、前記ヒータ間に設けられると共にパンを昇降させるパン受け部と、前記保持枠とパン受け部とを連動させるねじりバネとを有し、このねじりバネの腕部の端部が対で設けられた前記保持枠にそれぞれ接続されると共に、前記ねじりバネの環状部が前記パン受け部に接続されるトースターにおいて、前記ねじりバネの一方の腕部を他方の腕部よりも長く形成すると共に、前記一方の腕部を前記模様板が取り付けられた一方の前記保持枠に接続し、前記他方の腕部を他方の前記保持枠に接続したものである。   A toaster according to claim 1 of the present invention includes a main body, a plurality of heaters provided opposite to each other in the main body, a holding frame for positioning a pair of pans provided between the heaters, and the holding frame. A pattern plate attached to one side of the frame; a pan receiving portion that is provided between the heaters and moves the pan up and down; and a torsion spring that interlocks the holding frame and the pan receiving portion, and an arm of the torsion spring In the toaster in which the end portions of the torsion springs are connected to the holding frames provided in pairs and the annular portion of the torsion spring is connected to the pan receiving portion, one arm portion of the torsion spring is connected to the other arm. The one arm portion is connected to one holding frame to which the pattern plate is attached, and the other arm portion is connected to the other holding frame.

本発明の請求項１に記載のトースターは、以上のように構成することにより、前記本体の上部開口から食パンを挿入し、前記パン受け部を下降させると、このパン受け部に接続された前記ねじりバネが引き下げられることで、このねじりバネによって引っ張られて前記保持枠が内側に倒れる。この際、前記模様板が取り付けられた一方の前記保持枠に接続された前記ねじりバネの一方の腕部が、他方の前記保持枠に接続された前記ねじりバネの他方の腕部よりも長く形成されているため、他方の保持枠が一方の保持枠よりも内側に強く引かれ、これによって、食パンが一方の保持枠側に寄ることになり、この結果、食パンの前記模様板側が前記ヒータにより近くなり、食パンの表面に焼き模様を良好に付けることができる。   By configuring the toaster according to claim 1 of the present invention as described above, when bread is inserted from the upper opening of the main body and the bread receiving portion is lowered, the toaster connected to the bread receiving portion is By pulling down the torsion spring, the holding frame falls inward by being pulled by the torsion spring. At this time, one arm part of the torsion spring connected to the one holding frame to which the pattern plate is attached is formed longer than the other arm part of the torsion spring connected to the other holding frame. Therefore, the other holding frame is pulled more strongly inward than the one holding frame, so that the bread is moved closer to the one holding frame, and as a result, the pattern plate side of the bread is moved by the heater. It becomes close, and the baking pattern can be satisfactorily applied to the surface of the bread.

以下、本発明の実施形態について、図１乃至図６に基づいて説明する。なお、以下の実施形態において、図１の姿勢を基準として、上下、左右及び前後を規定する。１は本発明のトースターである。このトースター１は、上方に開口部２を有する本体３と、この本体３内に設けられる焼成ユニット４と、図示しない制御回路を有して構成されている。   Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS. 1 to 6. In the following embodiments, vertical, horizontal, and front-back are defined based on the posture shown in FIG. Reference numeral 1 denotes a toaster of the present invention. The toaster 1 includes a main body 3 having an opening 2 above, a firing unit 4 provided in the main body 3, and a control circuit (not shown).

前記本体３は、上外殻体５と下外殻体６とを有して構成されている。前記上外殻体５にはレバー用凹部７が形成されており、このレバー用凹部７に昇降レバー８が昇降自在に設けられている。なお、この昇降レバー８の昇降に連動して、後述するパン受け部２６が昇降するように構成されている。また、前記上外殻体５には、摘み用凹部９が形成されており、この摘み用凹部９から突出した図示しない可変抵抗の回動軸に回動摘み１０が取り付けられている。なお、前記可変抵抗は、食パンＢＲの焼き時間を調節するためのものである。更に、前記上外殻体５には切欠部１１が形成されており、この切欠部１１にリセットスイッチ１２が設けられている。また、前記下外殻体６にはボス１３が形成されており、このボス１３に断熱スペーサ１４を介して前記焼成ユニット４が取り付けられている。更に、前記下外殻体６には図示しない引出口が形成されており、この引出口から前記焼成ユニット４内にパン屑受け１５が挿入されている。   The main body 3 includes an upper outer shell body 5 and a lower outer shell body 6. A lever recess 7 is formed in the upper outer shell 5, and an elevating lever 8 is provided in the lever recess 7 so as to be movable up and down. In addition, it is comprised so that the bread receiving part 26 mentioned later may raise / lower in conjunction with raising / lowering of this raising / lowering lever 8. FIG. The upper outer shell 5 is formed with a knob recess 9, and a rotary knob 10 is attached to a rotary shaft of a variable resistor (not shown) protruding from the knob recess 9. The variable resistor is for adjusting the baking time of the bread bread BR. Further, a cutout portion 11 is formed in the upper outer shell body 5, and a reset switch 12 is provided in the cutout portion 11. A boss 13 is formed on the lower outer shell 6, and the firing unit 4 is attached to the boss 13 via a heat insulating spacer 14. Further, an unillustrated outlet is formed in the lower outer shell 6, and a bread crumb receiver 15 is inserted into the baking unit 4 from the outlet.

前記焼成ユニット４は、金属筐体１６を有しており、この金属筐体１６の上部が前記上外殻体５の開口部２から露出していると共に、前記金属筐体１６の上部に、前記パンＢＲを挿入するための開口部１７が形成されている。また、前記金属筐体１６の側面上部には、貫通孔１８が前後に対で形成されていると共に、前記金属筐体１６の側面中央に、貫通溝１９が上下方向に形成されている。更に、前記金属筐体１６の側面下部には、軸受孔２０が前後に対で形成されている。そして、前記焼成ユニット４の金属筐体１６の内部には、複数の金属線材を格子状に結合して形成された保持枠２１が軸２２を中心として揺動自在に一対設けられている。なお、前記保持枠２１は、前記金属筐体１６に形成された前記軸受孔２０によって揺動自在に支持されている。また、前記保持枠２１の上部には、それぞれ折曲部２３が形成されている。そして、これらの折曲部２３は、前記貫通孔１８を通って前記金属筐体１６の外部に露出している。また、前記保持枠２１のうち、正面側に設けられた一方の保持枠２１Ａには模様板２４が取り付けられている。そして、前記金属筐体１６の内面と前記一方の保持枠２１Ａとの間、及び前記金属筐体１６の内面と他方の保持枠２１Ｂとの間に、それぞれヒータ２５が対向して設けられている。更に、前記金属筐体１６の略中央には、前記保持枠２１間及びヒータ２５間で食パンＢＲを昇降させるパン受け部２６が設けられている。なお、このパン受け部２６の一端は、前述した通り、前記昇降レバー８に接続されていると共に、前記パン受け部２６の他端にはバネ掛け部２７が形成されており、このバネ掛け部２７が前記貫通溝１９を介して前記金属筐体１６の外部に露出している。そして、前記バネ掛け部２７には、コイルバネ２８の下端が掛けられている。また、このコイルバネ２８の上端は、ねじりバネ２９の環状部３０に接続されている。即ち、前記ねじりバネ２９は、前記コイルバネ２８を介して前記パン受け部２６に接続されている。更に、前記ねじりバネ２９の腕部３１の端部３２は、それぞれ前記保持枠２１の折曲部２３に接続されている。なお、前記腕部３１のうち、前記一方の保持枠２１Ａの折曲部２３Ａに接続される一方の腕部３１Ａの長さＬ１は、前記他方の保持枠２１Ｂの折曲部２３Ｂに接続される他方の腕部３１Ｂの長さＬ２よりも長く形成されている。このため、前記ねじりバネ２９の環状部３０は、初期状態において、前記保持枠２１間の中央よりもやや後方（図２における左側）に寄っている。   The firing unit 4 includes a metal casing 16, and an upper portion of the metal casing 16 is exposed from the opening 2 of the upper outer shell body 5. An opening 17 for inserting the bread BR is formed. Further, a through hole 18 is formed in a pair of front and rear at the upper part of the side surface of the metal housing 16, and a through groove 19 is formed in the vertical direction at the center of the side surface of the metal housing 16. Further, a bearing hole 20 is formed in a pair at the front and rear at the lower side of the metal housing 16. A pair of holding frames 21 formed by joining a plurality of metal wires in a lattice shape are provided inside the metal casing 16 of the firing unit 4 so as to be swingable about a shaft 22. The holding frame 21 is swingably supported by the bearing hole 20 formed in the metal casing 16. Further, bent portions 23 are formed on the upper portion of the holding frame 21, respectively. These bent portions 23 are exposed to the outside of the metal casing 16 through the through holes 18. A pattern plate 24 is attached to one holding frame 21A provided on the front side of the holding frame 21. A heater 25 is provided between the inner surface of the metal casing 16 and the one holding frame 21A and between the inner surface of the metal casing 16 and the other holding frame 21B. . Furthermore, a bread receiving portion 26 for raising and lowering the bread bread BR between the holding frames 21 and between the heaters 25 is provided in the approximate center of the metal casing 16. As described above, one end of the pan receiving portion 26 is connected to the elevating lever 8, and the other end of the pan receiving portion 26 is formed with a spring hook portion 27. The spring hook portion 27 is exposed to the outside of the metal casing 16 through the through groove 19. The lower end of the coil spring 28 is hung on the spring hook portion 27. The upper end of the coil spring 28 is connected to the annular portion 30 of the torsion spring 29. That is, the torsion spring 29 is connected to the pan receiving portion 26 via the coil spring 28. Further, the end portions 32 of the arm portions 31 of the torsion springs 29 are connected to the bent portions 23 of the holding frame 21, respectively. Of the arm portions 31, the length L1 of one arm portion 31A connected to the bent portion 23A of the one holding frame 21A is connected to the bent portion 23B of the other holding frame 21B. It is formed longer than the length L2 of the other arm portion 31B. For this reason, the annular portion 30 of the torsion spring 29 is slightly rearward (left side in FIG. 2) from the center between the holding frames 21 in the initial state.

次に、本実施形態の作用について説明する。まず、使用者は、予め前記回動摘み１０を操作して、前記食パンＢＲの焼き時間を適宜調節する。そして、前記食パンＢＲを前記開口部１７から前記トースター１の焼成ユニット４内に挿入する。なお、この際、前記食パンＢＲをやや前記一方の保持枠２１Ａ側に寄った状態で前記パン受け部２６上に挿入すると、良い結果が得られる。更に、前記昇降レバー８を下げることで、この昇降レバー８と連動する前記パン受け部２６が下降し、前記食パンＢＲが前記焼成ユニット４内の前記ヒータ２５間に配置される。この際、前記パン受け部２６のバネ掛け部２７に掛けられたコイルバネ２８が下方に引っ張られて伸長し、これに伴って、前記ねじりバネ２９も下方に引っ張られる。なお、前記コイルバネ２８によって引っ張られたねじりバネ２９は、図２に示すような前記腕部３１の端部３２同士が離れた状態から、図４に示すような前記腕部３１の端部３２同士が近づいた状態に弾性変形し、前記折曲部２３を内側に引っ張る。これによって、前記保持枠２１が前記軸２２を中心として内側に倒れ、これらの倒れた保持枠２１によって前記食パンＢＲが挟まれて位置決めされることになる。なお、前記保持枠２１の傾斜は、前記折曲部２３が前記貫通孔１８の縁と当接する範囲に制限されている。   Next, the operation of this embodiment will be described. First, the user operates the rotary knob 10 in advance to appropriately adjust the baking time of the bread bread BR. Then, the bread bread BR is inserted into the baking unit 4 of the toaster 1 through the opening 17. At this time, a good result can be obtained by inserting the bread bread BR onto the bread receiving portion 26 in a state of slightly approaching the one holding frame 21A. Further, by lowering the elevating lever 8, the bread receiving portion 26 interlocked with the elevating lever 8 is lowered, and the bread bread BR is disposed between the heaters 25 in the baking unit 4. At this time, the coil spring 28 hung on the spring hook portion 27 of the pan receiving portion 26 is pulled downward and extended, and accordingly, the torsion spring 29 is also pulled downward. In addition, the torsion spring 29 pulled by the coil spring 28 is configured so that the end portions 32 of the arm portions 31 as shown in FIG. 4 are separated from the end portions 32 of the arm portions 31 as shown in FIG. Is elastically deformed in a state of approaching, and the bent portion 23 is pulled inward. As a result, the holding frame 21 falls inward with the shaft 22 as the center, and the bread bread BR is sandwiched and positioned by these falling holding frames 21. Note that the inclination of the holding frame 21 is limited to a range in which the bent portion 23 contacts the edge of the through hole 18.

なお、前述したように、前記ねじりバネ２９の腕部３１のうち、前記一方の腕部３１Ａの長さＬ１が前記他方の腕部３１Ｂの長さＬ２よりも長く形成されていることで、前記ねじりバネ２９が引き下げられた際に、前記他方の腕部３１Ｂが接続された他方の保持枠２１Ｂが、前記一方の腕部３１Ａが接続された一方の保持枠２１Ａよりも内側に大きく倒れると共に、前記パン受け部２６が最下位置にある状体で、前記他方の保持枠２１Ｂが前記一方の保持枠２１Ａよりも強い力で内側に引かれる。このため、前記食パンＢＲは、前記一方の保持枠２１Ａよりも前記他方の保持枠２１Ｂによって押されることになり、この結果、前記食パンＢＲは前記一方の保持枠２１Ａ側、即ち前記模様板２４側に押されることになる。なお、前記食パンＢＲを挿入する際に前記パン受け部２６の中央に載置すると、前記パン受け部２６を下降させることで前記食パンＢＲが前記一方の保持枠２１Ａ側、即ち前記模様板２４側に傾倒しやすくなるが、前述したように、前記食パンＢＲを前記パン受け部２６のやや前記一方の保持枠２１Ａ側に寄せて載置することで、前記パン受け部２６を下降させても、前記食パンＢＲがほぼ直立した状態を保つことができる。この状態において、前記一方の保持枠２１Ａは内側に僅かに傾倒することになるが、ほぼ直立したままであり、一方、前記他方の保持枠２１Ｂは前記一方の保持枠２１Ａよりも大きく傾倒する。この結果、前記食パンＢＲの模様付けをする側の面と模様板２４が近接する（或いは接触する）ばかりでなく、前記食パンＢＲの模様付けをする側の面が前記ヒータ２５に接近するので、前記模様板２４による焼き模様が前記食パンＢＲに良好に付けられる。   As described above, among the arm portions 31 of the torsion spring 29, the length L1 of the one arm portion 31A is longer than the length L2 of the other arm portion 31B. When the torsion spring 29 is pulled down, the other holding frame 21B to which the other arm portion 31B is connected falls more inward than the one holding frame 21A to which the one arm portion 31A is connected, and The pan holding portion 26 is in a lowermost position, and the other holding frame 21B is pulled inward with a stronger force than the one holding frame 21A. For this reason, the bread bread BR is pushed by the other holding frame 21B rather than the one holding frame 21A. As a result, the bread bread BR is on the one holding frame 21A side, that is, on the pattern plate 24 side. Will be pushed. When the bread bread BR is inserted and placed in the center of the bread receiving portion 26, the bread receiving portion 26 is lowered so that the bread bread BR is on the one holding frame 21A side, that is, the pattern plate 24 side. However, as described above, even if the bread receiving part 26 is lowered by placing the bread bread BR slightly closer to the one holding frame 21A side of the bread receiving part 26, as described above, The bread bread BR can be kept almost upright. In this state, the one holding frame 21A is slightly tilted inward, but remains substantially upright, while the other holding frame 21B is tilted more greatly than the one holding frame 21A. As a result, not only the surface on the patterning side of the bread bun BR and the pattern plate 24 are close to (or in contact with), but also the surface on the patterning side of the bread bun BR approaches the heater 25. The baking pattern by the pattern plate 24 is satisfactorily applied to the bread bread BR.

そして、前記摘み９によって設定された時間が経過すると、前記パン受け部２６が上昇し、これに伴って、前記コイルバネ２８及びねじりバネ２９が復元することで、一対の前記保持枠２１も元の直立した状態に戻る。そして、前記パン受け部２６が上昇することで、前記ヒータ２５によって焼かれた食パンＢＲが前記開口部１７から取り出し可能となる。   Then, when the time set by the knob 9 elapses, the pan receiving portion 26 rises, and the coil spring 28 and the torsion spring 29 are restored along with this, so that the pair of holding frames 21 are also restored to their original positions. Return to an upright position. And the bread receiving part 26 rises, so that the bread BR baked by the heater 25 can be taken out from the opening part 17.

なお、本実施形態のトースター１は、従来構造のトースターの一部を変更することで容易に実現することができる。即ち、従来構造のトースターのうち、保持枠の一方に代えて前記模様板２４が取り付けられた本発明の前記一方の保持枠２１Ａを用いると共に、腕部の長さが均等に形成されたねじりバネに代えて前記一方の腕部３１Ａが前記他方の腕部３１Ｂよりも長く形成された本発明の前記ねじりバネ２９を用い、長い前記一方の腕部３１Ａの端部３２Ａを前記一方の保持枠２１Ａの折曲部２３Ａに、短い前記他方の腕部３１Ｂの端部３２Ｂを前記他方の保持枠２１Ｂの折曲部２３Ｂに接続することで、本実施形態のトースター１を実現することができる。従って、通常の製品と前記食パンＢＲに焼き模様を付けることができる製品の両方を提供する場合であっても、前記一方の保持枠２１Ａとねじりバネ２９以外の殆どの部品を共通化することができると共に、前記一方の保持枠２１Ａも、従来の保持枠に前記模様板２４を取り付けるだけであり、また、前記ねじりバネ２９も前記一方の腕部３１Ａの長さと他方の腕部３１Ｂの長さを違えさせるだけなので、従来の技術のように、前記食パンＢＲに焼き模様を付けることができるトースター全体を専用の構造にする必要がなく、コストアップを最小限に抑えることができる。   Note that the toaster 1 of the present embodiment can be easily realized by changing a part of the toaster having the conventional structure. That is, in the conventional toaster, instead of one of the holding frames, the one holding frame 21A according to the present invention to which the pattern plate 24 is attached is used, and the torsion springs having the arm portions formed equally in length. Instead of the torsion spring 29 of the present invention in which the one arm portion 31A is formed longer than the other arm portion 31B, the long end portion 32A of the one arm portion 31A is used as the one holding frame 21A. The toaster 1 of the present embodiment can be realized by connecting the short end portion 32B of the other arm portion 31B to the bent portion 23B of the other holding frame 21B to the bent portion 23A. Therefore, even when both a normal product and a product that can be baked on the bread bread BR are provided, most parts other than the one holding frame 21A and the torsion spring 29 can be shared. In addition, the one holding frame 21A also simply attaches the pattern plate 24 to the conventional holding frame, and the torsion spring 29 also has the length of the one arm portion 31A and the length of the other arm portion 31B. Therefore, unlike the conventional technique, it is not necessary to make the entire toaster that can be baked on the bread bread BR with a dedicated structure, and the cost increase can be minimized.

以上のように本発明は、本体３内に設けられた焼成ユニット４の内部に一対のヒータ２５を対向して設け、これらヒータ２５間で揺動して食パンＢＲの位置決めを行う一対のパン保持枠２１を設け、一方の保持枠２１Ａに模様板２４を取り付け、前記ヒータ２５間に食パンＢＲを昇降させるパン受け部２６を設け、一対の前記保持枠２１の折曲部２３に腕部３１の端部３２が接続されると共に環状部３０がコイルバネ２８を介して前記パン受け部２６に接続され、前記保持枠２１とパン受け部２６とを連動させるねじりバネ２９を設け、前記一方の保持枠２１Ａに接続される一方の腕部３１Ａの長さを他方の保持枠２１Ｂに接続される他方の腕部３１Ｂの長さよりも長く形成することで、前記パン保持部２６の下降に伴って前記他方の保持枠２１Ｂが一方の保持枠２１Ａよりも内側に強く引かれ、これによって、食パンＢＲが一方の保持枠２１Ａ側に寄ることになり、この結果、食パンＢＲの前記模様板２４側が前記ヒータ２５により近くなり、食パンＢＲの表面に焼き模様を良好に付けることができるものである。   As described above, according to the present invention, a pair of heaters 25 are provided in the baking unit 4 provided in the main body 3 so as to face each other and swing between the heaters 25 to position the bread bread BR. A frame 21 is provided, a pattern plate 24 is attached to one holding frame 21 </ b> A, a bread receiving portion 26 for raising and lowering the bread bread BR is provided between the heaters 25, An end portion 32 is connected and an annular portion 30 is connected to the pan receiving portion 26 via a coil spring 28, and a torsion spring 29 for interlocking the holding frame 21 and the pan receiving portion 26 is provided, and the one holding frame is provided. By forming the length of one arm portion 31A connected to 21A longer than the length of the other arm portion 31B connected to the other holding frame 21B, the other arm portion 31B is lowered as the pan holding portion 26 is lowered. Retention frame 1B is strongly pulled inward from the one holding frame 21A, whereby the bread bread BR approaches the one holding frame 21A side, and as a result, the pattern plate 24 side of the bread bread BR becomes closer to the heater 25. The baking pattern can be satisfactorily applied to the surface of the bread bread BR.

なお、本発明は以上の実施形態に限定されるものではなく、発明の要旨の範囲内で種々の変形実施が可能である。例えば、上記実施形態では、前記焼成ユニットに開口部を一つだけ設け、ヒータと保持枠をそれぞれ一対だけ設けたが、前記焼成ユニットに開口部を二つ平行に設けると共に、ヒータを三つ以上、保持枠を二対設けるようにしても良い。   In addition, this invention is not limited to the above embodiment, A various deformation | transformation implementation is possible within the range of the summary of invention. For example, in the above embodiment, only one opening is provided in the firing unit, and only one pair of heater and holding frame is provided. However, two openings are provided in parallel in the firing unit, and three or more heaters are provided. Two pairs of holding frames may be provided.
