ABSTRACT:
A safety device for an electric cooking appliance, the appliance having a case forming a housing provided to receive a removable bowl and a unit for heating the bowl. The safety device is composed of an element for sensing the presence of the bowl in the housing, the element being mounted to be movable against a restoring member between a first position which the element assumes when the bowl is present in the housing, and a second position which the element assumes when the bowl is not present in the housing or is not correctly positioned in the housing, the second position corresponding to a position to which the element is urged by the restoring member. The sensing element includes a detection zone which cooperates with the bowl and an actuation zone which cooperates with a switch arranged to close a circuit for supplying current to the unit for heating the bowl when the sensing element occupies the first position and to disconnect the circuit from the unit for heating the bowl when the sensing element occupies the second position and the sensing element includes a deformable part which is capable of being deformed when a bowl that is correctly positioned in the housing attains an abnormally high temperature to cause the sensing element to assume, under the urging of the restoring member, the second position in which the switch disconnects the circuit from the unit for heating the bowl.
