Abstract: To allow simplification of the operating mechanism for automatic charging of auxiliary material, thus enabling compactization/simplification of the automatic bread making machine as well as increased readiness of its cleaning. An auxiliary material accommodating container detachably attachable to an automatic bread making machine. The container includes a base body 31, a first accommodating section 31a, a second accommodating section 31b, a first opening/closing member (a lid member 32 and a frame member 33) and a second opening/closing member (a yeast lid member 34). The first accommodating section 31a and the second accommodating section 31b accommodate auxiliary materials to be charged to bread. The first opening/closing member is pivotable relative to the base body 31 about a pivot axis G to open/close the first accommodating section 31a. The second opening/closing member is pivotable relative to the base body 31 about the pivot axis G to open/close the second accommodating section 31b.

Abstract: Provided is a coffee maker where a heated state coffee liquid can be obtained by performing an extraction operation in an extraction unit, and can be sufficiently cooled down to a temperature, to provide tasty iced coffee, and in which a cooled state of the coffee liquid can be maintained. An ice basket is arranged inside a server, and is disposed to receive and disperse the coffee liquid that is dripping from an extraction unit. The ice basket is formed in a vertically elongated shape, and internally includes an ice storage. A liquid feeding hole, which feeds the coffee liquid inside the ice storage to the server, is formed in a peripheral edge portion of a bottom portion. The bottom portion is arranged at a position close to a bottom surface of the server while being separated from the bottom surface.

Abstract: A coffee beans grinder includes a main body, a dispensing component, a blade unit for grinding coffee beans having a first blade element and a second blade element facing the first blade element, and a dispensing element provided in the dispensing component for feeding coffee beans to a grinding space defined between the first blade element and the second blade element. The first blade element is provided in the main body, and the second blade element is provided in the dispensing component. The dispensing component is removably attached to the main body with a manually-operable engagement element. The second blade element faces the first blade element to define the grinding space therebetween with the dispensing component being attached to the main body with the manually-operable engagement element.

Abstract: An electric heating device includes a box-shaped plug socket provided with a socket-side electroconductive part electrically connected to an electric heater; a power source plug provided with a plug-side electroconductive part electrically connectable to the socket-side electroconductive part and attachable to and detachable from the plug socket; a movement-restricting mechanism for restricting the movement of a protective member both toward and away from a socket-side electroconductive part in a protected state in which the protective member closes an opening of the plug socket and the socket-side electroconductive part are positioned within an interior space; and a switching mechanism for switching the protective member from a restricted movement state into a restriction released state, in which the restriction of movement by the movement restriction mechanism is released, as the power source plug is inserted into the plug socket.

Abstract: An electrothermal cooker including an upper opening, a heating case, a lid body for the upper opening, a lower heater for heating a lower portion of the heating chamber, an upper heater for heating an upper portion of the heating chamber, and a check window. The lid body includes an inner lid, beneath an outer lid, which form the upper portion of the heating chamber. The upper heater is mounted to the lid body. The outer lid and inner lid define an opening for the check window. A portion of the lower side edge of the outer lid forms an engaging portion under the check window, and an upper portion of the inner lid forms a contact support for an outer peripheral edge of the check window, engaged with the engaging portion while surrounding this outer peripheral edge portion from under.
