Abstract: An electric toaster oven for use both as a toaster and as an oven, including a heater or heaters for heating an article placed in a baking chamber, a baked condition detector which detects the baked condition of the article through the detection of the heat radiated from the article, a plate forming part of the wall of the baking chamber and having a heat guide opening for transferring the heat radiated from the article therethrough to the baked condition detector, a tubular guide for guiding the heat to the baked condition detector, and a control circuit which controls supplying current to the heater or heaters on the basis of a detection signal provided by the baked condition detector. The baked condition detector includes a pair of thermosensitive elements disposed in different thermal conditions, respectively, and provides a signal corresponding to the difference between the respective temperature-dependent output signals of the thermosensitive elements.

Abstract: A reflection-type oil stove comprises a burner assembly mounted in a generally boxlike stove body, and a concave reflector behind the burner assembly for converging the heat produced thereby. In order to hold the stove body safely distanced from any external object that may be burnt by the converged heat, a safety spacer is attached to the front edge of a drip pan, forming the bottom of the stove body, for pivotal motion between a recumbent working position and an upstanding retracted position. Generally in the shape of a flat plate, the safety spacer lies flat against the floor when in the working position under the bias of a spring. When in the retracted position, on the other hand, the safety spacer conceals a heat control knob on the stove body, making it impossible for the user to operate the stove unless the safety spacer is in the working position.

Abstract: The subject lamp wick equipment for a combustion apparatus comprises a cylindrical lamp wick, cylindrical lamp wick holder and cylindrical auxiliary lamp wick holder. The peripheral wall of the lamp wick is provided with openings. The auxiliary lamp wick holder is fitted around the lamp wick, and comprises engagement holes formed at that spots of the peripheral wall of the auxiliary lamp wick holder which face the openings. The cylindrical lamp wick holder is fitted around the cylindrical auxiliary lamp wick holder. The engagement pawls of the lamp wick holder are so elastically urged as to project thereinto. When the lamp wick is fitted into the auxiliary lamp wick holder, which in turn is fitted into the lamp wick holder, then the engagement pawls of the lamp wick holder project into the engagement holes of the auxiliary lamp wick holder and the openings of the lamp wick, thereby preventing the lengthwise relative movement of the lamp wick and lamp wick holder.
