However, in the above-mentioned conventional apparatus, when the width of the top plate 11 is large and two top plate locking devices are required, the top plate locking lever 17 is not symmetrical in shape, and therefore, there are two types. The top plate locking lever 17 is required. Further, the top plate locking lever 17 is pulled over the top plate 11 in a state of being fitted to the top plate locking metal fitting 18 to prevent the top plate 11 from only being deformed in an upward direction, so that the pan is too large. When a heavy object such as the above is placed, another part is required to prevent the top plate 11 from being deformed downward. Further top plate 1
In order to prevent forgetting to lock 1, the projection plate 17b is provided on a portion other than the top plate locking portion 17a of the top plate locking lever 17 so that the juice receiving tray 2 floats up. There is a problem that the shape of 17 becomes complicated and the material removal is bad.

The present invention solves the above-mentioned conventional problems, and a first object thereof is to provide a top plate locking device which can lock two places with one type of component. A second object is to provide a top plate locking device that can prevent the top plate from being deformed in both the upper and lower directions without using other parts. A third object is to provide a top plate locking device that has a simple shape and can prevent forgetting to lock.

[0006]

In order to achieve the above object, the present invention has a top plate for covering the upper part of a cooking appliance main body, and a spillage from a cooking pot or the like placed on an opening provided in the top plate. A soup saucer for receiving soup, a top plate locking metal fitting having a notch portion mounted on the back surface of the top plate, and a top plate locking lever that horizontally rotates about a fulcrum installed inside the cooking appliance body. The top plate locking lever has a substantially Z-shaped main body fastening portion and a top plate locking portion in the longitudinal direction with respect to the fulcrum, and has a symmetrical shape in the lateral direction with respect to the fulcrum. The top plate locking portion of the plate locking lever is fitted in the notch portion of the top plate locking metal member. Accordingly, since the top plate locking lever has a symmetrical shape, even when the top plate is locked at two places, it is possible to lock it with one type of component.
