The invention concerns an electrical cooking appliance comprising, in a housing (,), a sheet metal bowl (,) coated on its inner (,) and outer (,) surfaces with a heat-resistant coating, and electrical heating means (,) associated with the bowl (,) and comprising a flat heating element (,) with screen-printed resistor (,). The invention is characterized in that the outer surface (,) of the bowl (,) base (,) has a zone (,) not provided with the coating (,) and on which is directly mounted the flat heating element (,) The invention is applicable to electric deep fryers in particular.

Electrical cooking appliance, in particular deep fryer, comprising a flat heating element with screen-printer resistor

An electric cooking appliance includes an external housing with a fixed or removable vat for cooking food and an electrical heater arranged under the vat and in thermal relationship with the vat. The appliance has a sensor for detecting a substantially vertical deformation of the vat base occurring while the appliance is operating, and for opening the electric power circuit of the heater when the detected deformation reaches a predetermined threshold corresponding to a substantially empty vat.

Electrical cooking apparatus with a vapour condensation device

A kitchen appliance for heating foodstuffs with steam, comprising, in a housing (1) having a bottom (2) and a side wall (3), a cold water reservoir (4) supplying a chamber for the production of steam (5), supplying itself through a steam inlet (6), a cooking chamber (7) disposed on the housing (1) and adapted to receive foodstuffs. The housing (1) has in its side wall (3) a channel (8) communicating with the exterior of the housing (1) through a filling cover (12) and with the interior of the housing (1) through a flow opening emptying into the cold water reservoir (4).

Appliance for heating foodstuffs with steam

Electric cooking apparatus comprising an insulating enclosure (12) which has spaced inner and outer shells (13, 14). A cooking vessel (22) is mounted removably in the enclosure at a distance from the inner shell (14). An electric heating device (30) comprising a sheathed heating resistance (26) extends flat and in direct contact with the bottom (24) of the vessel (22). The heating device comprises a heat reflector (38) mounted fixedly on the inner shell (14) and disposed at a small distance (d) below the resistance (26) so as to concentrate the thermal radiation of the resistance over all the bottom of the vessel. The apparatus is of particular utility when embodied in an electric deep fat fryer.

Electrical cooking apparatus and its method of manufacture

The door of an oven comprises a shell (1) of parallelepipedal shape whose front wall (2) has a large opening having the shape of a parallelogram enclosed by a transparent plate (3). The securement of the transparent plate (3) on the shell (1) is effected by fixation members which are formed by holding tongues (P.sub.1 to P.sub.8) arranged respectively on two opposite sides (9 and 10) of the edge (4) of the opening of the shell, while the transparent plate (3) has two opposite sides (24 and 25) bearing projections (S.sub.1 to S.sub.8) adapted to come into securement, by sliding, respectively beneath the holding tongues (P.sub.1 to P.sub.8). For use in all the doors of household electric ovens.

Door for household electric oven

An oven comprises a cooking chamber having a movable door (3) hinged on the forward surface (2) of said oven and provided with a hook (4) comprising a nose (5) and a catch (6). The hook enters an opening (9) in the forward surface to actuate a movable locking element (7). The locking element comprises a wheel (20) pivotally mounted on a plate (14) fixed to the forward inside surface of the oven. This wheel comprises a first surface (A) comprising two abutment lugs (22 and 23), a safety lock constituted by a blocking finger (25) fixed on the second surface (B) of the wheel and controlled by a safety spur (24) that projects through an opening (23') transversely to the first surface (A) and adapted, either to come into abutment with stop boss (26) of the plate, or to permit the rotation of the wheel. Application to all closure devices, particularly to a household microwave oven to prevent operation thereof by e.g. a child, when the door is open.

Apparatus for placing a microwave oven in a standby condition

Cooking apparatus, e.g. a deep fat fryer, comprising an open housing (1) adapted to be closed by a cover (2) pivotably removably mounted on an upper edge (3) of the housing by disassemblable hinges. A device (5) for automatically raising the cover permits the cover (2) to pass from a closed position to an open position. The hinges comprise two spaced bearings (6, 7) secured to the upper edge (3) of the housing and arranged on a common axis parallel to that edge, as well as two pivots (8, 9) secured to the cover (2) and mounted on the bearings (6, 7). One of the bearings (7) comprises a portion (10) axially retractable against the action of a compression spring (11) so as to permit the separation of the bearing (7) and the pivot (9) so as to unhinge the cover (2). The automatic raising device (5) of the cover comprises on the cover (2) an inside abutment (17) and on the housing (1) a finger (18) slidably mounted against the action of an elastic member (20) in a recess (19) of the housing (1) on an axis transverse to the axis of the bearings (6, 7), so as to occupy at least two positions, namely, a raised position to which it is brought by the elastic member (20) and in which it bears on the abutment (17) of the cover, maintaining the cover (2) in open position, and a lowered position to which it is brought by pressure from the abutment (17) acting against the elastic member (20) when the cover (2) is closed.

Cooking apparatus such as for example a deep fat fryer

Cooking apparatus such as, for example, an oven includes a cooking chamber (1) having at least one electrical heating element (9) having a tubular envelope (10) of fragile material of the type of quartz or glass which is mounted in supports (16, 17) secured to the chamber (1) so as to maintain the envelope (10) at a distance from the internal wall of the chamber. The tubular envelope (10) is enclosed in a cage (18) whose wall (19) is sufficiently pierced to let pass the infrared radiation toward the interior of the chamber (1) and sufficiently rigid to resist any mechanical shock. The cage (18) is provided with members (24, 25) for securing it to the internal wall of the chamber (1).

Cooking apparatus, for example an oven having a protector for an

A microwave oven has a circuit for controlling the supply of electricity to a generator of microwave energy, the circuit having a main switch and movable contact, the opening of which is controlled by a timer. The control circuit also comprises a by-pass circuit mounted in parallel between two points having a pre-programmed timing device in series with the interrupting switch. A commutating mechanism controlled by a user is adapted to both move circuit switch to its open position and to move the interrupting switch to a closed position in which a timing device operates to allow the supply of electricity to the microwave generator.
