  • Publication number: 20080041358
    Abstract: An apparatus includes a cam 3, a lever 8, a switch 10, a spring 9 and fire detection means 15. Utilizing an interlocking movement and an operation of the switch, a motor 2 is driven under a microcomputer control 23, and by doing so, the automatic opening and closing movement of a cover 1 can be effected smoothly and stably. Even when a fire occurs at a cooking device 13 below the apparatus, the fire detection means 15 stops the operation of a circulating fan 11, and also stops the cover 1 in an open condition, and by doing so, the spreading of the fire can be limited to a minimum, and also an abnormality in the opening and closing of the cover 1 can be indicated at a display portion 23, and therefore the safety, the durability and the degree of satisfaction of customers can be enhanced.

  • Patent number: 7282683
    Abstract: The present invention provides a high frequency heating apparatus having a structure, which can be mounted/dismounted an air-exhausting grille without any tools. In this apparatus, an air-exhausting grille is arranged by that a fixing claw portion having a bent Z-shape, a fixing hooking portion having a concave notch, and a magnetic joint plate are arranged, whereas a main body located opposite to the air-exhausting grille is arranged by that a slit hole, a hooking flange, and a magnetic fixing plate are arranged. As a result, since the magnetic joint plate is absorbed with the magnetic fixing plate to be fixed with each other, the mounting/dismounting work capability of the air-exhausting grille can be improved without using the tool in a simple manner, and furthermore, a clean cooking appliance can be secured, while the cooking appliance can be readily cleaned.
