ABSTRACT:
An automatic bread producing machine includes, in a baking chamber, a vessel unit having a bread vessel where a mixing vane for mixing bread ingredients is rotatably provided and a cylindrical bread vessel support fixed to an underside of the bread vessel. The bread vessel support has stoppers formed on the lower circumference thereof. The machine further includes a vessel mounting support mounted at the bottom of the baking chamber for receiving therein the bread vessel support. The vessel mounting support has cutouts formed at its circumferential wall for receiving and firmly holding the stoppers, respectively. Recessed portions are further formed at the circumferential wall of the vessel mounting support for guiding the stoppers to positions adjacent to the corresponding cutouts, respectively. Each cutout is provided adjacent to a lower end of the recessed portion and at one side of the recessed portion located in a rotation direction of the mixing vane. Each stopper is automatically received and locked in position in the corresponding cutout due to a rotation force of the mixing vane so that the vessel unit is automatically fixed relative to the vessel mounting support. While the stoppers are locked in position, an upper surface of each stopper engages with an upper wall surface of the corresponding cutout. The upper surfaces of each stopper and cutout are so shaped as to urge the vessel unit downward during rotation of the mixing vane.
