[Conventional technology]

A conventional toaster oven is shown in FIG. In this figure, reference numeral 1 denotes a metal inner box housing an electric heater 2 as a heat source and a gridiron 3, which is covered with a metal outer box 4. The front ends of the boxes 1 and 4 are connected by a metal front frame 5, and the boxes 1 and 4 and the front frame 5 form a toaster body. An opening/closing door 6 made of transparent glass for opening and closing the front opening of the inner box 1 is attached to the front frame 5. Further, both ends of a U-shaped carrying handle 8 are rotatably connected to the top of both sides of the outer box 4, and the handle 8 is rotated to the position shown in the figure only when carrying the main body. During use and storage, the main body is rotated to be located at the front or rear side of the main body. Note that 9 in the figure is a timer.

Furthermore, toaster ovens have been known in the past in which handles for carrying the toaster body are fixed on both sides of the upper part of the toaster body.

[Problem that the invention attempts to solve]

By the way, when a toaster oven is used, the cooking chamber temperature reaches a high temperature of, for example, around 250° C., and the top plate of the toaster main body is easily affected by the heat from the heat source and becomes quite hot. but,
In the conventional cooker mentioned above, the flat top plate of the toaster body is a good place to store bread etc. when in use, so there is a high chance that the user's hands will touch the hot top plate. There was a problem. Furthermore, since various items can be placed on the flat top plate, there are cases where items placed carelessly may become deformed or deteriorated due to the heat of the top plate.

[Means for solving problems]

In this invention, a resin handle consisting of a grip part and a flat top cover part that connects both lower ends of the grip part is placed approximately at the center of the top surface of the toaster body with a heat source installed in the cooking chamber. a groove that protrudes upwardly and is fixed to the grip portion, has a width of the top cover portion larger than a width of the grip portion, and extends in the length direction of the grip portion and opens to a lower surface of the grip portion; In addition, by providing a long hole for die cutting in the top cover portion facing the groove, temperature rise in the grip portion is suppressed, and the above-mentioned conventional problems are solved.

[Effect]

According to the above configuration, since the handle is fixed to the approximate center of the upper surface of the top plate of the toaster main body so as to protrude upward, this handle prevents objects from being placed on the top plate, which gets hot, and prevents the top plate from being placed on the top plate. You can prevent your hands from touching it. Of course, you can carry the entire toaster by grasping the handle, but it is also important to have a top cover that is wider than the handle to prevent your fingers from touching the hot top when you grip the handle. This can be prevented by

In addition, in order to provide a groove in the grip to prevent the material from shrinking, a long hole for cutting out the top plate is provided in the top plate cover opposite to this groove, so that the top plate can be covered by the top plate cover in the top plate. A part of the exposed part can be exposed through the elongated hole to directly radiate heat, and
The surface area of the top plate cover is also increased, which improves heat dissipation. Therefore, it is possible to suppress the temperature rise in the top cover portion.

〔Example〕

An embodiment shown in FIGS. 1 to 4 will be described below.

In the figure, 21 is an inner box whose internal space is used as a cooking chamber 21a, and the front side of the box is open. This inner box 21 is formed by combining a pair of left and right side plates 22, a bottom plate 23, and reflection plates 24 and 25, all of which are made of sheet metal. That is, the bottom plate 23 is provided to connect the lower portions of the pair of side plates 22. Further, the reflecting plate 24 is placed over the front edge of the bottom plate 23 and is provided by connecting the front lower sides of the pair of side plates 22.

In this embodiment, an electric heater having a resistance heating wire built into a straight quartz tube is used as the heat source 26, and this electric heater is suspended horizontally across the pair of left and right side plates 22 via an insulator 27. Furthermore, numeral 40 in FIG. 2 indicates a strip-shaped conductive plate in which a pair of heat sources 26 are connected in series.

Furthermore, a metal grill 28 is housed in the inner box 21 between the upper and lower heat sources 26. The gridiron 28 moves along the front-back direction using elongated guide holes 29 provided along the front-back direction at the rear of the pair of side plates 22 and a metal guide shaft 30 protruding from the front inner surface of the side plates 22 as guides. It is set freely.

A front frame 31 is attached to the front of the inner box 21. The front frame 31 has an outer portion 32 and an inner portion 33 integrally connected to each other, and has, for example, a substantially U-shaped cross section.
The front frame 31 includes, for example, upper and lower locking claws (not shown) integrally protruding from the ends of the left and right sides of the inner part 33, and the front end outward edges of the side plate 22.
At the same time, the locking claws 35 provided at the lower part of the inner part 33 are engaged with the locking holes (not shown) provided in the reflecting plate 24. The lower part of the outer part 32 is fixed to the front surface of the inner box 21 by fixing the lower part of the outer part 32 to the lower surface of the reflecting plate 24 with a screw 36.

An opening/closing door 37 for opening and closing the front opening of the inner box 21 is attached to the front frame 31 so as to be rotatable about the lower part of the front frame 31 as a fulcrum. The opening/closing door 37 and the sliding portion 28a of the grill 28 are connected via a pair of left and right metal levers 38 that pass through vertical holes (not shown) provided in the front outward edge 34, respectively. 38 is always biased backward by a coil spring 39. Therefore, this opening/closing door 3
The grill 28 is moved back and forth in conjunction with the opening and closing of the grill 7.

Further, the inner box 21 is covered with an outer box 41. The outer case 41 of this embodiment is formed from an outer case case 42 and an outer case rear plate 43, both of which are made of sheet metal. In addition, the inner box 21, the front frame 35, and the outer box 4
1 constitutes a toaster main body 44.

The outer box case 42 is formed into a substantially U-shape by integrally providing side plates 42b that cover the side plates 22 on both sides of a top plate 42a that covers the upper surface of the reflector plate 25. This outer box case 42 has a front fitting edge 45
is fitted inside the outer part 32 of the front frame 31, and the lower end bent portions of the left and right side plates 42b are overlapped with the lower end bent edges 22b of the left and right side plates 22 of the inner box 21, and screwed. It is attached so as to cover the inner box 21.

The outer box rear plate 43 is provided to fit into the rear fitting edge 46 of the outer box case 42, and is fastened with screws (not shown) at the rear bent edge 22c of the side plate 22. A pair of cord hooks 47 around which a power cord is wound are screwed to the rear plate 43, and a heat radiation hole 48 is provided.

Further, on the top plate 42a of the outer box 41, a carrying handle 49 made of a material made of a mixture of heat-resistant synthetic resin and glass powder is projected upward and fixed with screws 50 or the like.

Since the handle 49 is fixed to the upper surface of the top plate 42a in this manner, it is made difficult to place objects on the top plate 42a, which becomes quite hot during use. As a result, the high-temperature top plate 42a can be prevented from being touched by hands, and safety during use can be improved.

This handle 49 includes, for example, an arc-shaped grip portion 51,
It is formed from a flat plate-shaped top cover part 52 that integrally connects both lower ends of the grip part 51. Since the handle 49 has the top cover portion 52, when the handle 49 is inserted into the space between the handle 49 and the grip portion 51 and grasps the grip portion 51, the fingers of the handle 49 cover the top plate 49.
A can be prevented from touching the handle 51 without increasing the height of the grip part 51. Furthermore, in order to further enhance this effect, the width A of the top cover portion 52 is made larger than the width B of the grip portion 51.

Furthermore, a groove 53 is formed in the grip portion 51 to prevent the grip portion 51 from shrinking. This groove 53 extends in the length direction of the grip portion 51 and is open to the lower surface of the grip portion 51. And this groove 5
3, a long hole 54 for die cutting is formed in the top plate cover portion 52 so as to face each other. This long hole 5
4 increases the heat dissipation from the top cover portion 52 and the top plate 42a, thereby suppressing the rise in temperature of the top cover portion 52. That is, the elongated hole 54 for mold cutting allows a part of the top plate 42a covered with the top cover portion 52 to be exposed through the elongated hole 54 and to radiate heat directly into the atmosphere, and also allows the top plate The surface area of the cover portion 52 is also increased, and its heat radiation is also improved. Therefore, it is possible to suppress the temperature rise of the top plate cover part 52, and the temperature of the top plate cover part 52 rises to such a temperature that even if your hand touches the top plate cover part 52 when grasping the grip part 51, it will cause burns. Never. In addition,
If there is no elongated hole 54, heat radiation from the portion of the top plate 42a covered by the top plate cover portion 52 is blocked by the top plate cover portion 52, and the top plate cover portion 52
Since the surface area of the top cover 52 becomes smaller, heat is trapped and the temperature of the top plate cover 52 tends to rise.

Furthermore, a slight gap 55 is formed between the lower surface of the top plate cover portion 52 and the top plate 42a, thereby suppressing heat conduction from the top plate 42a to the top plate cover portion 52. Therefore, with the above mounting structure,
The temperature of this handle 49 can be suppressed to a low level.

In addition, numeral 56 in the figure is a timer attached to one side plate 42a to control the time period during which the heat source 26 is energized.

In addition, when implementing this invention, unless it is contrary to the gist of the invention, specific structures such as the toaster body, cooking chamber, heat source, top plate, handle, grip, top cover, groove, slot, etc. , shape, position, material, etc., are not limited to the one embodiment described above, and it goes without saying that they can be configured and implemented in various ways.
