Abstract: A water tank 104 includes a tank main body 130 for storing water therein, and a decorative plate 131 attached to the tank main body 130 and having a height H1 higher than a height H2 of the tank main body. A handle portion is provided in a decorative plate 131 side bottom face of the tank main body 130. At an upper end of the decorative plate 131, a holding recess portion 139 is formed so as to allow a user to hold a top face of the tank main body 130 while gripping the handle portion.

Abstract: A heating cooker comprising a body casing, a door openably fitted to the front panel of the body casing through hinges, and an annular packing (40) of the circumferentially same shape in cross section disposed between the door and the front panel. The hinge side of the annular packing (40) fitted to the door (including a door frame (41) and a door cover (42)) is positioned on the front side by a dimension L from the anti-hinge side of the annular packing.

Abstract: An open/close adjustment device is connected to the door of a heating chamber of a cooking device, and the open/close adjustment device pulls the door back to its totally closed position. The open/close adjustment device adjusts an operation force when the door is passing a predetermined open angle. The operation force indicates a maximum value when the door is passing the predetermined open angle, and the maximum value is given by two protrusions disposed at front-side and rear-side with distance between them. Each of the protrusions each produces a load when they go over a support member, and a following one of the two protrusions produces a load larger than a load firstly produced by a preceding one of the two protrusions when the door is opened.

Abstract: An electronic component device includes an electronic component element including a lower surface having a metal surface provided thereon, a metal plate arranged so that a first principal surface thereof faces the lower surface of the electronic component element, and a first solder provided between the lower surface of the electronic component element and the first principal surface of the metal plate, the first solder arranged to connect the electronic component element to the metal plate. At least a portion of a peripheral portion of the first principal surface of the metal plate is located outwardly beyond an outer periphery of the lower surface of the electronic component element. A ridge defined by the first solder is provided in the peripheral portion of the first principal surface of the metal plate along the outer periphery of the lower surface of the electronic component element.

Abstract: A cooking device for performing cooking using a microwave and steam, in which a door of a heating chamber includes, as constituting components, an inner frame, a choke cover, and a gasket. The inner frame is made of metal and has at its periphery a choke structure constructed from a large number of comb teeth. The gasket is installed in the door with a base section of the gasket held between the inner frame and the choke cover. A lip section of the gasket has a bag-like cross-section whose side that faces the inside of the heating chamber is an entrance. The forward end of the lip section is bent to the door side. The comb teeth, except those positioned at the corners of the door, are bent at a larger angle than in a case in which the gasket is not installed.

Abstract: A high-frequency heating apparatus comprises a heating chamber, a high-frequency generator, a waveguide, an antenna, a motor for rotating the antenna, and a stage (6) provided above and near the antenna to partition the heating chamber and made of dielectric. A rotary base on which an object to be heated is mounted is provided on the stage. A first magnet is provided to the antenna. A second magnet is provided on the rotary base at a place corresponding to the first magnet on the rotary base. By utilizing the magnetic coupling between the first and second magnets, the rotary base is rotated in synchronism with the rotation of the antenna. While maintaining the advantages of conventional antenna high-frequency heating apparatuses, the heating efficiency by grill heating or oven heating is enhanced, and minute heating uniformness is achieved.
