  • Patent number: 6717110
    Abstract: The present invention relates to an apparatus for toasting of bread etc. comprising a housing (2) with a slot (3) which issues into a toasting space (4) into which products to be toasted can be introduced, while heater elements (5) are arranged on both sides of this space (4) which each cooperate with a reflector (7) for reflecting radiation in the direction of the toasting space (4), and the housing (2) is made at least partly of a transparent material. In order to obtain an evenly distributed browning and a good view of the products in the toasting space (4), the reflectors (7) cover the whole area of the toasting space (4) and are made of a transparent material.

  • Patent number: 6530309
    Abstract: An apparatus for toasting bread, includes a housing (2) with a slot (3) which leads into a toasting space (4). Heater elements (5) are arranged on both sides of this space which each cooperate with a reflector (7) for reflecting radiation in the direction of the toasting space. Grille elements (8) are located to center the bread in the toasting space. A bread support element (9) is provided for moving the bread up or down. The grille elements (8) and the support element (9) are moveable in a coordinated way. The grille elements (8) and/or the heater elements (5) are arranged on two pairs of arms (6) which are hinged (14) to a base part (1), while the support element (9) cooperates with a lever (19) which is also hinged (18) to the base part (1), the arms (6) and the lever (19) cooperating with openings (17) in a slide (10) which is movable in the base part (1).
