Abstract: An electric juicer having a housing, or case, a juice receptacle arranged on the case, a pouring accessory disposed on the receptacle and a juicer cone. The case contains a motor for rotating the cone through the intermediary of a transmission, the pouring accessory has a bottom permitting gravity flow of the collected juice toward a lateral flow outlet, and the bottom has an opening providing for the passage of the transmission. In accordance with the invention, the pouring accessory has a transmission axis, or shaft, belonging to the transmission, the shaft being mounted for free rotation in the opening. This arrangement permits the juicer to be used with or without the pouring accessory.

Abstract: The invention concerns a toaster comprising a housing (1) containing a bread-holder carriage (4) mobile between an ejecting position wherein it is returned by an elastic device (5) and a toasting position wherein it is retained by an electromagnetic device (14), the electromagnetic device (14) including a ferromagnetic component (15) secured to the bread-holder carriage (4) and an electromagnet (16) secured to the housing (1), and a control device acting on the circuit powering the coil (L) of the electromagnet.

Abstract: The invention concerns a toaster comprising a housing (1) containing a bread-holder carriage (4) mobile between an ejecting position wherein it is returned by elastic means (5) and a toasting position wherein it is retained by an electromagnetic device (14), said electromagnetic device (14) including a ferromagnetic component (15) secured to the bread-holder carriage (4) and an electromagnet (16) secured to the housing (1), and control means acting on the circuit powering the coil (L) of said electromagnet. The invention is characterised in that the control means are adapted to act on interrupting means (I1, I2) of the circuit powering the coil (L) so as to apply a positive voltage (UL) at the terminals of the coil during toasting, then a negative voltage of less absolute value when toasting is completed.

Abstract: An electric toaster comprises an infrared detector (6) directed toward a heating device for the toaster, and a control device for the supply of electricity to the heating elements which is subordinated to a device (10) for measuring the radiation received by the detector, and which comprises a device (12) for processing the signal emitted by the detector. A comparator (13) compares a signal (S) leaving the processing device (12) with a signal (N) emitted by an adjustment device (14) of the degree of toasting. The measuring device (10) comprises, between the processing device (12) and the comparator device (13), a device (16) for diverting the signal (S) whose control is directed by a timer (18) of short duration which re-establishes at the end of that short duration the passage of the signal (S) toward the comparator (13).

Abstract: A toaster comprises a housing (1) enclosing a toasting chamber (2) in which is movably mounted a bread carrier (4) between an ejection position and a toasting position in which it is retained by an electromagnetic actuating device (5) comprising a control winding (6) with a hollow support (7) which is secured to a plate (20) carrying electrical connection members (22), and which surrounds a magnetic core (8), as well as a movable armature (9) adapted to retain the bread carrier (4) in its toasting position. The magnetic core (8) is mechanically mounted independently of the support (7) of the winding (6) and of the plate (20), and is secured to a member (24) on the housing (1).

Abstract: A fruit or vegetable juicer comprises a housing enclosing a motor group having an output shaft which projects into a basin secured to the housing. The output shaft drives a working tool disposed in a bowl in rotation. The bowl is movably mounted within the basin and is covered by a cover having a chute for the introduction of foodstuff, and a locking/unlocking device ensures maintenance of the bowl and the basin when the cover is in a locked condition. The bowl and the cover also comprise mutual hooking elements which permit the extraction from the basin of an assembly comprised of the bowl, the working tool and the cover, when the cover is in an unlocked condition.

Abstract: An electric toaster with a housing (1) includes a toasting chamber and a slot (2) provided in the top surface thereof for inserting slices of bread, at least one heating element (3), and at least one bread holder (4) movable up and down on a guide device (6) by a lowering and raising mechanism (8) between the housing (1) and the toasting chamber. The guide device (6) comprises a single vertical slide rail (9) with a slide (10) movably mounted thereon, and the holder (4) is attached only to the slide (10) so that it is cantilevered to the post (9).

Abstract: Toaster comprising a housing (1) having an upper opening (2) and in the interior of which are disposed at least one heating resistance (3). Two grills (5, 6) for gripping a bread slice to be toasted, are maintained in rest position spaced from each other by a spring (7) and swing each about a lower horizontal axis (8, 9). A bread-carrying carriage (10) is movably vertically mounted between the two grills (5, 6) and is adapted to occupy two positions, an upper position in which the carriage (10) is located in the upper portion of the housing (1), and a toasting position in which the carriage (2) has descended to the bottom (11) of the housing (1) and coacts with the grills (5, 6) to cause them to swing toward each other, so as to maintain the bread gripped, characterized in that each grill (5 or 6) has at its lower portion a rigid arm (13, 14) directed toward the other grill (5 or 6).
