Patent number: 7582850Abstract: The subject is a household electrical appliance (1) comprising two articulated heating sub-assemblies (2, 3) and resistances (7) connected to an electricity supply component (8). The component (8) can be separated from the resistances and includes contactors (9). It is moreover adapted to engage with a hinge (4) by which the two heating sub-assemblies (2, 3) are articulated, the hinge, which includes at least one mobile part (16), being configured in a way either to implement the articulation of the sub-assemblies, under the effect of acting upon said mobile part (16) to bring it towards an articulation position through the electricity supply component (8, 11) then engaging its connection with the corresponding electric resistance (7), or to allow the relative separation of the sub-assemblies by releasing the mobile part (16) which is no longer acted upon by the electricity supply component (8, 11), when it is disconnected.Type: GrantFiled: May 25, 2004Date of Patent: September 1, 2009Assignee: SEB SAInventor: Denis Gruaz

Patent number: 7525070Abstract: Hinge (4) comprising at least one housing (6) formed in a first panel (2), and at least one rod (7) integral with a second panel (3) and rotationally mounted in the housing (6). According to the invention, the rod (7) is movable from a retracted position in which it is prevented from moving into the housing (6) when the two panels (2, 3) are in a correct mutual position, and a control element (9) movable from a release position to a locking position and adapted to cooperate with the rod (7) with the result that said rod is in the retracted and hinged positions when the control element (9) is in the release and locking positions, respectively.Type: GrantFiled: May 25, 2004Date of Patent: April 28, 2009Assignee: SEB SAInventor: Denis Gruaz

Patent number: 7021199Abstract: The household electrical appliance comprises a support and a waffle-iron which pivots on the support about an axis and which has a pivot pivotally mounted on a bearing carried by the support. In the invention, the pivot is secured to a first panel of the waffle-iron and has a housing which is adapted, when the two panels are in the closed position, to receive a locking element secured to the other panel, and the bearing has an opening disposed so as to allow the locking element to pass freely for opening and closing the waffle-iron when it is in its working position, and to prevent the two panels from opening when it is in its upside-down position.Type: GrantFiled: August 29, 2003Date of Patent: April 4, 2006Assignee: Seb SAInventors: Jean-Pierre Lubowicki, Denis Gruaz
