ABSTRACT:
Toaster comprising a housing (1) having an upper opening (2) and in the interior of which are disposed at least one heating resistance (3). Two grills (5, 6) for gripping a bread slice to be toasted, are maintained in rest position spaced from each other by a spring (7) and swing each about a lower horizontal axis (8, 9). A bread-carrying carriage (10) is movably vertically mounted between the two grills (5, 6) and is adapted to occupy two positions, an upper position in which the carriage (10) is located in the upper portion of the housing (1), and a toasting position in which the carriage (2) has descended to the bottom (11) of the housing (1) and coacts with the grills (5, 6) to cause them to swing toward each other, so as to maintain the bread gripped, characterized in that each grill (5 or 6) has at its lower portion a rigid arm (13, 14) directed toward the other grill (5 or 6). The two ends (15, 16) of these arms (13, 14) cross in the rest position of the grills (5, 6), whereby when the carriage (10) reaches its toasting position, a lower portion of the carriage (10) bears against said ends (15, 16) at the level of their crossing region (18), thereby exerting a centered force opposed to that exerted by the spring (7), so as to cause the swinging of the grills (5, 6) toward each other.
