ABSTRACT:
A toaster having a movable bakery product shield for enhanced toasting quality. A wide slot cavity to receive bakery goods for toasting is defined on one side thereof by an upstanding, stationary product retainer spaced apart from a heating element and, on the other side thereof, by a movable product retainer having a deflector shield connected along its upper edge. Interiorally of the toaster, a carriage mechanism is mounted on an end wall for vertical reciprocal movement between an up position and a down position. Connected to the carriage mechanism and extending longitudinally through the slot cavity is a bread support shelf which is inclined toward the stationary product retainer to cause the lower edge of a bread slice placed in the toaster slot to engage the stationary product retainer. Depressing the carriage mechanism to the down position simultaneously causes the movable product retainer to bias the upper edge of the bread slice to the stationary product retainer and operates a switch to energize the heating element to effect toasting. For bakery goods having a thickness less than the full width of the toaster slot, the deflector shield along the upper edge of the movable product retainer reduces the opening of the toaster slot to enhance toasting quality.
