By operating the gripping piece from inside the power cord holder using an arbitrary tool, the engagement between the fitting hole and the elastic claw is disengaged, and the power cord holder can be removed from the fitting hole. . Further, the present invention provides a frame having an approximately inverted U-shaped cross section and supporting the motor, baking chamber, etc. inside the box-shaped bread maker body and having a rising surface close to the lower side of the bread maker body. A power cord holder is provided on the outside of the rising surface of the frame to fit into and lock into the fitting hole of the bread maker main body, and this power cord holder protrudes inward of the frame, and the power source is connected to the inside of the power cord holder. The cord is held through it.

Function: With this configuration, the power cord holder can be attached to the fitting hole provided on the outer surface of the bread maker body with an elastic claw, and a grip piece is provided that is integrated into the elastic claw and can be operated from the outside. There is no need to remove other parts and operate them from inside the bread maker main body, and the attachment and removal operations can be performed from outside the bread maker main body, making the work easier.

In addition, the frame that supports the motor, baking chamber, etc. has an almost inverted U-shape in cross section, and its rising surface is placed close to the lower side of the bread maker body, so that it fits into the fitting hole of the bread maker body that serves as a power cord holder. When the power cord is stopped, it protrudes inward from the frame, and the power cord is inserted inside this power cord holder.
Since the bread maker is held through, it is possible to increase the strength of the frame while making effective use of the space inside the bread maker itself, including the space inside the frame, and the overall shape can be made smaller, making it possible to provide an inexpensive bread maker. .
