Toaster-and-Oven Device

Abstract

A toaster-and-oven device with visible interior, wherein bread or cooking ingredients are added and removed through the side, and wherein the bread can be gripped while toasting. The toaster of the present invention comprises: a housing located above the base and furnished with an internal dome wherein an internal space is formed; multiple toast holders that hold pieces of bread at a distance from one another, placed at specified intervals on the interior of the said internal dome and actually positioned in a vertical or horizontal direction with respect to the said base, on the surface whereof are furnished transparent surface heating elements; a door furnished with a door frame that connects to the interior of the said housing and wherein the lower edge is connected to the said housing by hinges so as to open and close at one side of the said internal dome and housing; and toast holders furnished on the said base and formed so as to contract so that if the said door is closed, the bread can be gripped between the aforementioned toast holders. The door swings left to right, and while the door is closed, the door is kept locked by the mechanical locking device (FIG. 6a); when electrified, it opens automatically in response to electric circuit signals or the operation of a solenoid or magnet, and is configured (FIGS. 6a, 6b, 6c) with a structure whereby the door can be automatically or manually opened at any time; it also includes a structure wherein if the door closes the sensor determines whether or not to toast based on whether or not electric heat is detected.
