Elektrischer Toaster

摘要

An electric toaster (10) comprises a body (11) having at least one bread compartment (12), an electrical heating element provided inside the compartment (12) and a hinged support (17) provided on the body (11) and above the compartment (12), for supporting a piece of food for warming by the heating element. The support (17) is movable between an extended condition for operation and a collapsed condition for storage. It is formed by two inverted broad generally U-shaped elongate support bars (18, 19) each having a central limb (18A/19A) for supporting a piece of food and a pair of opposite side limbs (18B, 18C/19B, 19C). The support bars (18, 19) are arranged to have their side limbs (18B, 19B/18C, 19C) at each end of the central limbs (18A, 19A) adjacent each other. A manual operating member (26) is provided for moving the support (17) between the extended and collapsed conditions. One of the side limbs (18b) is in engagement with the operating member (26) for movement thereby. One side limb (18B) has, at a position above the body (11), a lateral part (20A/20B) in engagement with the adjacent side limb (19B) such that the two support bars (18, 19) are simultaneously movable by the operating member (26). <IMAGE>
