Abstract: A fryer has spinning function to spin fried food of residual oil on the food. The fryer comprises an oil container (101) having a spindle extending from the centre of the base of the oil container. A basket (201) made of wire mesh having a funnel (203) in the centre of the basket is provided, and is suitable for lowering into the oil container with the funnel slipped over the spindle (401). In a lowered position, the basket submerges food into oil in the container for frying. In a raised position, food in the basket is raised above surface of the oil to terminate the frying. A cover (109) is provided for closing over the oil container and the basket. The underside of the cover has a coupler (501) for engaging the funnel of the basket and also the spindle when the cover closes over the oil container. The spindle can be spun by a motor in the fryer such that, when the spindle spinning the coupler rotates along with the spindle.

Abstract: An electrical cooking appliance having electrical heating means, temperature sensing means, a first temperature sensitive switch connected to the temperature sensing means and connected to the electrical heating means arranged to open on sensing a first predetermined temperature and arranged in parallel with current limiting means, a second temperature sensitive switch connected to the temperature sensing means and connected in series with the electrical heating means arranged to open at a second predetermined temperature higher than the first temperature.

Abstract: An electric appliance has a body member and a detachable electric cord. The body member includes a connecting portion having at least one pin member extended therefrom. The electric cord includes at least a first plug member and a second plug member which are electrically connected with each other. The first plug member is electrically connectable to an electric source. The second plug member is releasably engageable with the connecting portion of the body member by a magnetic attracting force between them. The pin member includes a tapered end surface, and the second plug member includes at least one aperture sized to receive the pin of the connecting portion of the body member. The width of the aperture is greater than the width of the pin member by a factor in the range of 1.1 to 5.
