An electrical water heater includes a housing, a filling opening delimited by a rim, heating elements, a pouring member, a lid, a tongue mobile between an extended position wherein it seals the pouring member and a pouring position wherein it is retracted, and a pouring control connected to the tongue through an actuating mechanism. The actuating mechanism includes a first mechanism arranged in the housing and having one end connected to the pouring control and one end mobile through a window of the rim, and a second mechanism arranged in the lid and having one end mobile through a window of the lid and one end connected to the tongue, the windows of the rim and of the lid being urged into mutual correspondence when the lid seals the opening, and the corresponding ends of the mechanisms being adapted to co-operate.

Electric water heater

An electric liquid-heating appliance includes a housing, an upper fill hole which is defined by a rim (), heating elements, a spout and a lid. The lid includes: a lock which can engage with a retaining element; a locking control element which is connected to the lock and which can move between a locked position and an unlocked position; and a tongue which can move between a retracted position, in which the tongue is housed in the lid, and a deployed position, in which the tongue seals the spout. The tongue is connected to the locking control element by an actuating mechanism which is designed to position the tongue either in the deployed position when the locking control element is in the locked position or in the retracted position when the locking control element is in the unlocked position, the unlocked position being stable.

Electric liquid-heating

An electrical household liquid-heating appliance includes a housing (), electrical heating elements, a switch, a button () pivotable about an axis between an on position and an off position and having an actuation surface, and a switch actuation lever () movable between an operative position in which the switch is closed and an inoperative position in which the switch is open. The button () is biased into a so-called neutral intermediate position by a resilient member.

Electrical liquid-heating appliance

An electric kettle includes a tubular body ( ), heating elements comprising an electric resistor ( ) associated with a heating plate ( ) mounted in the body lower part, defining with the side wall ( ) of the body ( ) a reservoir ( ) of liquid to be heated and in direct contact by its upper surface with the liquid, and elements supporting a peripheral rim ( ) of the heating plate ( ). The support elements comprise a vertical skirt ( ) extending inside the body ( ) and fixed on the inner surface ( ) of the body side wall ( ) by first reversible fixing elements ( ), and the body ( ) has a base formed by a lid ( ) fixed on the skirt ( ) with second reversible fixing elements ( ).
