Abstract: Household electrical appliance for heating liquid including a tank, a heating element having at least one resistive track screen-printed on an electrically insulating plate secured to part of said tank, and a device controlling the electrical supply of said heating element. The control device includes several electronic components among which are at least one thermometric component, a switching component capable of opening and closing the electrical power supply circuit for said heating element, and a control component for controlling said switching component according to signals output from said thermometric component. At least said thermometric, switching and control components are located on said insulating plate within a single area free of resistive track, said area being surrounded by a peripheral region free of resistive track and of electronic components.

Abstract: A soleplate for an iron comprising a cast heating body (1) with an outer edge (4) having a tip (6) and a heel (8), as well as a metal ironing plate (10) having a matching shape and including a pointed front portion (12) and a rear portion (14), and comprising an inner surface (16), an outer surface (20) coated with a coating (22) and a rim (24) arranged around the side of the outer edge (4) of the heating body and provided with elements for attaching it thereto. The elements for attaching the rim (24) comprise a preformed curled edge (26) for capping the tip (6) at least in the front portion (12), and at least one hook (28) for engaging the heel (8) in the rear portion (14).

Abstract: A coffeemaker comprises, in a housing (1), a cold water reservoir (2) supplying a water heater (3) which in turn supplies a water spout (5) whose outlet (6) is arranged above a filter carrier (7) which is movably mounted in the housing (1) and whose bottom has an outlet opening (8) located above a server (9) collecting the infusion, the server resting on a base (10). The cold water reservoir (2) of the coffeemaker overlies the base (10) and the filter carrier (7) of the coffeemaker is arranged behind the cold water reservoir (2).

Abstract: A process for the production of a whisk for an electric kitchen beater, comprising a rod (12) having at one of its ends a hub (15) carrying at least two loops (19, 20) each forming an agitator and made from a metallic wire whose ends are secured to the hub, the hub (15) being produced by an over-molding operation by injection of a plastic material onto the rod (12) and onto the two loops (19, 20) adjacent the rod. Before over-molding the hub on the end of the rod and adjacent portions of the loops, the loops are positioned in a mold in planes transverse to the horizontal axis of the rod. Then, after molding, the loops are swung down into their final position in which their sections (19b, 20b) opposite the hub (15) contact each other. At this contact point (P), the loops are secured together as by welding. In this way, a complicated mold for the hub, that would accommodate the loops in their final position, is not necessary.
