MULTI-FUNCTIONAL TOASTING PLATFORM UTILIZING A COATED CLEAR-GLASS HEATING ELEMENT

摘要

A partially transparent cooking appliance includes first and second plates defining an externally accessible cavity therebetween. The first and second plates are at least partially translucent. A base is pivotally coupled with the first and second plates. The first and second plates are operable between a horizontal position and a vertical position relative to the base and an electrically resistive coating disposed on at least a portion of the first and second plates. The electrically resistive coating is in thermal communication with the cavity. A cam mechanism is operably coupled with at least one of the first and second plates. The first and second plates are operable between first and second distances relative to one another and a user interface is disposed on an exterior surface of an outer plate. The user interface is in electrical communication with the electrically resistive coating.

主权项

1. A cooking appliance comprising:
a housing including first and second plates, the first and second plates being at least partially translucent and parallel with one another; a cavity defined between the first and second plates; a partially conductive coating disposed on a portion of the first and second plates proximate the cavity; a cam mechanism operably coupled with the second plate, wherein the cam mechanism is configured to move the second plate between a cooking position and a non-cooking position; and a user interface accessible from an exterior surface of the housing, wherein the user interface is in electrical communication with the partially conductive coating, the partially conductive coating being in thermal communication with the cavity.
