Abstract: An improved exciting arrangement for an induction heating apparatus which includes a heating coil disposed in a spaced relation between a top plate for placing a vessel of magnetizable material to be heated and a bottom plate, so as to be impressed with high frequency current, a shielding plate member of non-magnetizable metallic material disposed in a space between the heating coil and the bottom plate, and a coil support member of highly magnetizable material providing a high electrical resistance, disposed between the heating coil and the shielding plate so as to cover part of the peripheral portion of the heating coil.
Abstract: The disclosure is directed to an improved electromagnetic cooking apparatus which is so arranged that the maximum voltage to be impressed to a switching transistor employed in it may be lowered to a desired level for a stable operation at high reliability.
Abstract: An improved induction heating apparatus as applied, for example, to a cooking oven in which there is employed a magnet having a bore formed in it, with a thermistor being installed on the top plate of the apparatus in a position corresponding to the bore so as to eliminate possible breakage of the thermistor, while the curie temperature of the magnet member is set at a predetermined level for further improvement in safety.
