As shown in Fig. 3, the light guide 30 is an annular member made of a translucent plastic material having a rectangular cross section. The inner and outer cylindrical surfaces are finished in a mirror-like manner, and the thickness of the space between the inner and outer surfaces, that is, the cylindrical portion, can be uniformly finished. It is preferable for the back light transmission within the annular light guide 30 of the light due to the total reflection action. In order to obtain a clear and distinct ring-like pattern, the plastic material has a low internal light fraction and a high light refractive index. The one is preferable. A light emitting diode is suitable as the light source 2 6. In a part of the outer circumferential cylindrical surface of the light guide 30, a light entrance portion 1 1 for setting the light from the light source 26 into the annular portion is provided. . The light entrance part 1 1 is a curved and light transmitting member.

The light emitting surface 14 of Fig. 1 is shown with a hatching, but this is not a cross section but the upper surface is roughened. It indicates that it is being done. The light reflection layer 13 may be coated on the bottom surface 30 b with a non-light-transmissive and high-reflectance paint such as silicone resin. Also, the light reflecting layer 1 3 is provided by a simple method such as forming an adhesive or adhesive tape on the bottom 30 b and forming a concave-convex shape. This is also possible. On the upper surface or top surface of the ring-shaped light guide 30, a method such as forming a small concave / convex on the light emitting surface 14 or forming a large number of shallow grooves etc. Therefore, roughening increases the amount of light emitted from the surface to the outside.

The inner side 14 a and the outer side 14 b of the light guide 30 shown in the cross sectional view are not preferably mirror-finished as described above. Therefore, when light travels along an annular light guide 30, the light travels through total internal reflection between the inner side 14 a and the outer side 14 b. And do not leak from the inner side 14 a and the outer side 14 b to the outside. In the present embodiment, two light sources 26 are provided, and light is incident on the light guide 30 from the two light entrances 11 on the left and right sides. Therefore, the light incident is the light guide 3 0 Go in both directions clockwise and counterclockwise in the middle.

When the power is turned on by the operation of the known power supply switch and a current flows to the heating coil 4 (Fig. 4), an induction magnetic field is generated, and the top plate is removed. The object to be heated 3 placed on the ground 2 (see Fig. 7) is heated by electromagnetic induction. At this time, the shielding action of the magnetic leakage prevention ring 1 6 provided on the outer periphery of the heating coil 4 shown in Fig. 4 prevents the magnetic flux from leaking to the side. Ru At the same time as turning on the power, the light source 26 shown in Fig. 1 lights up. Light emitted from a light source (light emitting diode) 2 6 is incident on the light guide 30 from the light incident surface 1 2 of the light incident portion 1 1 provided on the light guide 30.
