  • Publication number: 20240114602
    Abstract: A heating cooking apparatus includes a heating cooking chamber, a slide rail, a slide plate, a lid portion, a rotation shaft portion, and a holding portion. The heating cooking chamber includes a plate portion disposed at the outer periphery of an opening. The slide rail extends along a first predetermined direction. The slide plate moves along the slide rail. The lid portion is attached to the slide plate and opens and closes the opening. The rotation shaft portion rotates the slide rail using a second predetermined direction orthogonal to the first predetermined direction as a rotation axis. The holding portion holds the slide rail to be freely rotatable with respect to the heating cooking chamber.

  • Publication number: 20240077207
    Abstract: A heating cooking apparatus includes a heating cooking unit, a lid portion, a detection unit, light source units, and a control unit. The heating cooking unit includes a heating cooking chamber communicated with an opening. The lid portion moves between a closed position at which the lid portion covers the opening and an open position at which the lid portion opens the opening. The detection unit detects whether the lid portion is present at the closed position. The light source units, emit light into the heating cooking chamber. The control unit controls the light source units, when the detection unit detects that either a state of the lid portion being present at the closed position or a state of the lid portion not being present at the closed position is maintained for a predetermined period of time or longer.

  • Patent number: 7912697
    Abstract: When an input section is actuated by a user, a character is inputted, and a storage section stores therein the inputted character. On this occasion, when the inputted character is a vowel character, a control section causes the storage section to store therein the inputted vowel character and an intonation associated therewith. In a case where a vowel character identical to the inputted vowel character is successively inputted by the input section, the control section causes the storage section to store therein the vowel character and the initial intonation in association with each other, for a first input. At second and subsequent inputs, the control section does not cause the storage section to store therein the identical vowel character anew, but it alters only the intonation associated with the vowel character which has been already stored in the storage section.
