ELECTRICALLY HEATED LIQUID CONTAINER

摘要

Deep fat fryers with removable fat containers (1) provided on their underside with an electric heating element (2) have conventionally employed special large dimension, wide tolerance connectors for making electrical connection between the heating element terminations and supply terminals (5) of the fryer. To enable widely available and well proven kettle connectors to be utilised, the invention proposes to provide simple spring terminals in the fryer for cooperation with the heating element terminations, to form the other ends of the spring terminals into pins (6) configured for cooperation with a cordless kettle connector (7) and to provide a cordless kettle connector in the fryer mounted so as to be moveable between ON and OFF positions wherein the connector respectively engages with and is disengaged from the pin terminals, the movement of the connector being controlled by a manually operable control of the fryer.
