A toaster having: a frame enclosing an open heating chamber; a bread supporting carriage mounted in the chamber and vertically movable relative to the frame, the carriage being retainable in a lowered position for toasting; an extension piece fixed to the carriage; a restoring element coupled between the frame and the extension piece for urging the carriage upwardly away from the lowered position to a first bread discharge position; and a control mechanism for controlling the position for the carriage. The control mechanism includes: a lever mounted for rotation about a first axis, a crank element extending perpendicular to the first axis and connected to the lever for rotation as a unit therewith, and a cam device connected to the extension piece and engaged by the crank element at a location spaced from the first axis for converting rotational movements of the actuating lever into vertical movements of the carriage.

Toaster

The invention relates to a toaster in which the housing ( ) comprises: a toasting chamber ( ); a toast rack ( ), which can move vertically inside said chamber ( ) between an eject position and a toasting position; a driver ( ), which is linked to the toast rack ( ), is slide mounted on a vertical column ( ) and is used to lower the toast rack ( ) from the eject position, in which the driver ( ) is returned by an elastic means ( ), to the toasting position, in which the driver ( ) is held in place by an unlockable means ( ); and a rising damping device comprising a piston ( ) which can slide vertically along a determined path in a housing ( ) that is solidly connected to the drive and the upper face of which can come into contact with a stop end ( ) located in the top part of the housing ( ). According to the invention, the housing ( ) is tubular and the piston ( ) of the damping device is also formed by a tubular part, said housing ( ) and piston ( ) being coaxially mounted around the vertical column ( ).

Electric toaster

The invention concerns a toaster comprising a housing ( ) containing a bread-holder carriage ( ) mobile between an ejecting position wherein it is returned by an elastic device ( ) and a toasting position wherein it is retained by an electromagnetic device ( ), the electromagnetic device ( ) including a ferromagnetic component ( ) secured to the bread-holder carriage ( ) and an electromagnet ( ) secured to the housing ( ), and a control device acting on the circuit powering the coil (L) of the electromagnet.

Toaster with electromagnetic retaining device

An electric toaster comprises an infrared detector (6) directed toward a heating device for the toaster, and a control device for the supply of electricity to the heating elements which is subordinated to a device (10) for measuring the radiation received by the detector, and which comprises a device (12) for processing the signal emitted by the detector. A comparator (13) compares a signal (S) leaving the processing device (12) with a signal (N) emitted by an adjustment device (14) of the degree of toasting. The measuring device (10) comprises, between the processing device (12) and the comparator device (13), a device (16) for diverting the signal (S) whose control is directed by a timer (18) of short duration which re-establishes at the end of that short duration the passage of the signal (S) toward the comparator (13).

Toaster and process for mounting electromagnetic actuator therein

A toaster comprises a housing (1) enclosing a carriage (4) movable between an ejection position and a toasting position to which it can be brought by a handle (6) connected to one end (7) of the carriage (4) by a driver (8) secured to a finger (11) adapted to actuate a control switch (12) for the electrical supply of a heater (3). The driver (8) is movably mounted on the end (7) of the carriage (4) for movement along a vertical path (l) so as to permit the finger (11) to free the switch (12) when the carriage remains blocked in its toasting position after unlocking a retaining device (10).
