Abstract: A plug adapted to fit in a standard electrical outlet and supply power through a cord to an electrical device is provided with a thermostat and bistable resettable switch. When one of the plug's prongs is overheated, indicating an overload or short circuit, the thermostat actuates the switch and cuts off power to the electrical device. When the malfunction is repaired, the switch is reset to restore the circuit.

Abstract: The fryer (1) comprising a rotatable cooking basket (4) and an oil container (3) has air heating means (19) and forced circulation means (13) of the heated air through the basket for at least partially cooking the food product contained in the basket.

Abstract: An electric oven has a housing defining a cooking chamber, a door hinged on the housing and pivotal between an open position and a closed position, at least one rotatable rack supported by one of the removable racks, and rotation actuation means for rotating the rotatable rack about an upright axis and positioned peripherally and tangentially to the rack. The rotatable rack has a circular outer edge. The actuation means has a pinion engaged with a circumferential edge surface of the rotatable rack at the edge thereof.

Abstract: An oven has a housing defining a cooking chamber. Guides in the chamber carrying a slidable rack. A door hinged on the housing and pivotal between an open position and a closed position. A linkage between a side wall of the cooking chamber and the housing for automatically ejecting the frame on movement of the door into the open position. The linkage is oriented in a vertical plane and has a lever pivoted in the housing outside the chamber, a link connecting the lever to the door such that the lever pivots when the door is moved between its positions, and a thruster element pivoted between the housing and the chamber and having a first outer part outside the cooking chamber and slidably engaged in a slot of the lever and a second inner part inside the cooking chamber and slidably engaged in an opening of the rack.

Abstract: The support for a radiator of the mobile type comprises ja frame which has means for connecting to said radiator and retractable means for supporting the radiator on a floor. The support means are suitable for taking up a working position outside of the shape of said frame or else a low encumbrance position inside the shape of said radiator. The procedure for mounting or dismounting a support for a radiator of the mobile type to allow its use or else its suitably packaged transportation, respectively, comprises the steps of moving the bases, which carry wheels connected so that they can rotate, with respect to the frame, taking them into a working position outside of the shape of said frame or else into a low encumbrance position inside the frame of said radiator.

Abstract: A coffee machine has a filter holder receiving a filter cup adapted to hold a suspension of hot water and grounds. A generally horizontal filter forming a floor of the cup. The hot water infused by the grounds passes down through the filter as coffee. A side wall formed with a screwthread is provided on the cup underneath and generally perpendicular to the filter. A dispenser on the cup underneath the filter has an outlet directed generally perpendicularly at the side wall for spraying the coffee substantially perpendicularly against the screwthread and thereby generating froth.

Abstract: The cooking device has a tank with an electrical heater means containing a basket for the food connected to an actuator suitable for moving it between a position inside and a position at least partially outside the tank. A first temperature sensor of a portion of the tank and a timer are connected to a control for moving the basket in relation to the signals which the control receives from the temperature sensor and from the timer. In the cooking procedure when the first sensor detects the cooking temperature, the basket is lowered and, at the same time, the timer is started for a preset time period. At the end of the time period the control deactivates the heater and commands the removal of the basket from the tank.

Abstract: The device for discharging a cooking liquid from a food product cooking apparatus (1) comprises valve means (3) for intercepting the cooking liquid and outside conveyance means of the apparatus. The discharging procedure consists of rotating a substantially rigid tube, connected to the valve means for intercepting liquid, from an upward orientation to a downward orientation, simultaneously and progressively taking the intercepting means from a closed position to an open position, so as to allow the discharge of the liquid through the intercepting means and the tube.

Abstract: A container for cooking pasta in a microwave oven is composed of a body manufactured in a material compatible with microwave ovens, and has therein a compartment to contain the pasta cooking water and a stirrer for the pasta during cooking.

Abstract: A utensil for cooking pasta in a microwave oven has an upstanding tubular central portion through which a drive shaft extends of a mixing member which fits over that central tubular portion and extends downwardly in the utensil. The drive shaft is driven by a motor in the microwave oven or a motor forming part of the utensil.

Abstract: The electrically powered oven, in particular for baking or heating sliced bread, comprises a box-shaped body inside which there are housed one or more electrical resistors adapted to radiate energy into the body for baking or heating sliced bread. A resistor is arranged into the body, so as to determine at least two baking chambers, and exhibits baffle means adapted to direct the radiated energy towards the baking chambers. The procedure for heating the electrically powered oven in particular for baking or heating sliced bread consists in radiating energy mainly towards the lower portion of the oven by a resistor, which is arranged in an intermediate position of the box-shaped body of the oven and which determines at least two baking chambers, so that the effect of natural convection into the two baking chambers is comparable.

Abstract: The electric oven in particular for cooking or heating food comprises a cooking chamber housing one or more removable frames slidably engaged with corresponding lateral guides of the cooking chamber, and has at least one rotatable frame supported by one of the removable frames, and rotation actuation means of the rotatable frame positioned peripherally and tangentially to it.

Abstract: The cooking device (1) comprises a body (2) which carries a bowl (3) with electrical heating means (4) and containing a basket (5) for food. The basket is connected to drive means (6) suitable for moving it between a position inside the bowl and a position at least partially outside of it. The device also comprises a first sensor (7) of the temperature of at least a portion of the bowl and a timer (8) connected to means (9) for controlling the drive means, for moving the basket in relation to signals that the control means receives from the temperature sensor and from the timer.
