Description

[Detailed description of the invention] The present invention provides a toaster that can make uniform roasting by making the heater plates located on both sides movable according to the thickness of the bread pieces so that the facing dimension with the bread pieces is always constant. It is something.

An embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings. Reference numeral 1 denotes a unit body installed inside a toaster case (not shown), and a fixed heater plate 3 is vertically disposed approximately at the center of a frame body 2 on both sides thereof. Movable heater plates 4, 4 are arranged with a gap between them so as to serve as a roasting chamber for bread pieces.

The movable heater plates are configured to be able to move forward and backward relative to the fixed heater plate 3, respectively.

That is, both of the movable heater plates 4 are pivotally supported by a rotating plate 5 which is pivotally attached to the frame 2 so as to be able to swing freely.

The rotating plate 5 has a side-curved shape, and a pivot shaft 7 is inserted through the corner 6 of the rotating plate 5 to be pivotally attached to the lower sides of both sides of the frame 2. A vertical piece 8 and a horizontal piece 9 are formed, and pivot holes 11 are formed on both sides of the upper end line 10 of the vertical piece 8.
, 11, and guide holes 11', 11' are formed below them, and locking claws 12, 12 protruding from the rear wall of the movable heater plate 4 are engaged and pivoted into the pivot holes. The movable heater plate 4 is pivotably supported on the vertical piece 8 of the rotary plate 5, and the guide holes 11', 11' are provided with cut-outs in the back wall of the movable heater plate 4. Protruding claw 23.
23 is placed in the insertion position to prevent the movable heater plate 4 from falling off the rotating plate 5.

The rotating plate 5 not only rotates about the pivot shaft 7 but also rotates the vertical piece 8 by the helical spring 13.
is biased toward the fixed heater plate 3 side by a tilting spring.

One of the horizontal pieces 9 has its tip bent to form a locking piece 14, which is brought into contact with a rotating arm piece 15 formed by bending one end of the pivot shaft 7. I'm trying to lock it.

The rotating arm piece 15 integrally formed with the pivot shaft 7 has a spring piece 16 having a reaction force larger than the tilting spring biasing force of the rotating plate 5, and a spring piece 16 is formed on the rotating arm piece. The locking piece 14, which can be abutted and locked, is always urged upward.

Therefore, when the free end 17 of the rotary arm piece 15 is pushed down and rotated against the spring pressure of the spring piece 16, the vertical piece 8 of the rotary plate 5 moves as shown in FIG. The movable heater plate 4, which is tilted toward the fixed heater plate 3 and pivotally supported thereto, approaches the fixed heater plate 3 to reduce the distance therebetween.

Reference numeral 18 denotes a bread placement table on which a bread placement net 19 that moves up and down in the gap between the fixed heater plate 3 and the movable heater plate 4 extends, and a slide rod 2 vertically provided on the outside of the frame body 2.
0, and has a pressing tongue piece 21 on the lower edge of the bread platform that comes into contact with the free end 17 of the rotating arm piece 15.

However, after placing the bread pieces on the bread placement net 19,
When the pedestal section 22 provided on the bread platform 18 is held and slid downward, the bread platform 18 presses and rotates the free end 17 of the rotary arm piece 15 located below.

As a result, the rotary plate 5 also rotates, and the movable heater plate 4 pivotally supported on its upper end 10 is moved toward the fixed heater plate 3, and as a result, the bread pieces are sandwiched between the fixed heater plate 3 and the movable heater plate 4. It is then roasted.

As mentioned above, in the toaster of the present invention, a fixed heater plate is installed vertically in the middle of a frame body with an open top surface, and movable heater plates are arranged on both sides of the frame body with a space therebetween so as to be able to move forward and backward. In order to sandwich bread pieces and roast and cook the bread pieces, the lower sides of both sides of the frame are provided with the above-mentioned letter shapes, and the vertical pieces are attached with springs that tilt the vertical pieces toward the fixed heater plate side, and the horizontal pieces tilt downward. A rotary plate to be moved is pivotally mounted, a pivot hole is provided on both sides of the upper end edge of the vertical piece of the rotary plate, and a guide hole is provided below the pivot hole, and the movable heater is provided in the pivot hole. A locking pawl protruding from the back wall of the plate is rotatably fixed, and a protruding pawl cut and raised from the back wall of the movable heater plate is inserted into the guide hole, and the rotating plate Since the movable heater plate and the rotary plate are connected to the bread mounting table which is located between the heater plates and moves up and down, the pivoting portion between the movable heater plate and the rotary plate has a simple structure that allows light driving without unnecessary frictional resistance. This makes it possible to provide an easy-to-use and practical toaster that is easy to assemble and suitable for mass production.
