ABSTRACT:
Toaster comprising a housing (1), a heating resistance controlled by a switch (2) associated with a timer, a breed carriage (3) guided within the housing and adapted to occupy at least two positions, namely a toasting position in which the carriage (3) closes the switch (2) actuating the timer, and in which the carriage (3) is moved by the user and maintained during the toasting cycle by a catch (5) operated by an electromagnet (6) which comes into engagement with an abutment (7) of the carriage (3), or a rest position into which the carriage (3) is moved by a return spring (8), at the end of the toasting cycle, when the catch (5) frees the abutment (7). The toaster also has a hot-keeping device for the toast which comprises a movable latch (9) adapted to occupy two positions, namely a hot-keeping position in which at the end of the toasting cycle the carriage (3) being displaced slightly toward its rest position so as to open the switch (2), the movable latch (9) is in engagement with a hook (11) carried by the carriage (3)to prevent further displacement of the carriage thereby to retain the toast in the toaster, or an automatic ejection position in which the latch (9) is withdrawn and does not prevent the displacement of the carriage (3) to eject the toast from the toaster.
