Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] [Technical Field of the Invention] The present invention relates to a toaster oven, in which the grate is rotated upward in order to easily remove bread crumbs accumulated below the grate in the roasting chamber. This invention relates to a structure in which the lower part of the gridiron can be opened by movably supporting the grid.

[Technical background of the invention and its problems]

In conventional toaster ovens of this type, both sides of the grill are supported so that they can move back and forth in the front and back directions formed on both sides of the roasting chamber, and the grill is linked to the opening/closing door that opens and closes the roasting chamber. Sometimes, a structure is adopted in which the grill grate extends into the opening of the roasting chamber. This structure had the disadvantage that it was not easy to clean up crumbs of bread that had fallen below the grill.

This structure supports the grill grating in a rotatable manner, lifts the grill toward the upper front side, opens the bottom of the grill, and makes it easy to remove crumbs that have accumulated below the grill. Conceivable. However, if the grill grate is rotatably supported, the problem arises that when the toaster is inverted during transportation or the like, the grill rotates and comes into contact with the electric heating element, causing damage to the electric heating element.

[Purpose of invention]

The present invention was developed in view of the above points, and the rotation range of the grill is regulated by a reflector, so that even when the toaster body is tilted or reversed, the grill will not come into contact with the electric heating element and be damaged. It provides a toaster oven that does not require a toaster oven.
