1,187,222. Bread-toaster. PROCTORSILEX Inc. 4 Aug., 1967 [23 Aug., 1966], No. 35934/67. Heading A4D. A conventional electric toaster is constructed in such a way that the component parts, namely a chassis containing breadwells, heating elements, and breadsupports, an outer housing, end-covers, a crumb-tray, and an electric-flex connector, can be assembled and dismantled without the use of tools. The chassis 12 is inverted and inserted into the housing 10 through an opening in the base. The end-covers 16, 18, are affixed by inserting the plates 110, 112, over flanges on the housing 10 and closing the end-covers so that the spring clips 130, 132 snap over flanges provided on the bottom-plate 80 of the chassis. Accurate alignment is ensured by projections 122, 124, which fit into openings in the housing. The crumb-tray 20 is attached across the base by the hinge-pin 140, which fits into the brackets 144 on the end-cover 16, and the spring-clip 150. Finally, the flex connector 26 is inserted. The bread-carriage control knob 218 provided on the outer surface of the endcover 16 must be coupled to the breadcarriage mechanism 64; this is achieved by movement of the knob in a vertical channel provided in the end-cover until the projection 200 engages a recess in a spring clip attached to the knob. |
