  • 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: 9562651
    Abstract: A lighting apparatus comprises: an LED module; a heat sink releasing heat generated by the LED module; and a light source supporting body having a locking part locking to the heat sink so as to hold the LED module on the heat sink. This avoids the necessity of screws used for attaching the LED module to the heat sink, and hence reduces the number of components and realizes easy attaching work for the light source. Thus, workability is improved in comparison with the conventional art.
