The utility model discloses an automatic lifting device for a toaster carrier, comprising a machine base, carriers, sliding guide pillars, a slide seat, a rocker arm, a motor and a motor mounting base. The motor is fixed on the motor mounting base, and an output rotation shaft of the motor is connected with the slide seat via the rocker arm. The motor mounting base is provided with an upper trigger switch and a lower trigger switch corresponding to swinging positions of the cam. The motor drives the rocker arm to rotate so as to drive the slide seat to rise and fall, thus the automatic control of the rising and falling of the carriers is achieved.

A shut-off mechanism for a toaster includes a damper arm pivotally mounted on a frame that includes a damper unit. The damper unit including (a) a cavity in which a viscous fluid is stored, (b) a rotor that resides partially in the cavity and partially outside of the cavity, the viscous fluid resisting rotation of the rotor relative to the cavity, and (c) an engagement member attached to the rotor that engages a track on the frame. The damper arm is movable between a deactivated position and an activated position. An electrical switch configured to engage an electrical contact when the damper arm is in the activated position and to disengage from the electrical contact when the damper arm is in the deactivated position.

A shut-off mechanism for a toaster includes: a frame having a base, a vertical wall and a track with opposed first and second ends; a damper arm pivotally mounted on the frame that includes a damper unit attached to one end of the damper arm, the damper unit including (a) a cavity in which a viscous fluid is stored, (b) a rotor that resides partially in the cavity and partially outside of the cavity, the viscous fluid resisting rotation of the rotor relative to the cavity, and (c) an engagement member attached to the rotor that engages the track on the frame, wherein the damper arm is movable between a deactivated position, in which the damper unit is adjacent the first end of the track, and an activated position, in which the damper unit is adjacent the second end of the track; a first biasing member that biases the damper arm toward the deactivated position; a cocking member pivotally attached to the frame and positioned between the damper arm and the vertical wall of the frame, the cocking member movable between a toasting position and a rest position, wherein movement of the cocking member from the rest position to the toasting position moves the damper arm from the deactivated position to the activated position; and an electrical switch positioned and configured to engage an electrical contact when the damper arm is in the activated position and to disengage from the electrical contact when the damper arm is in the deactivated position.

A toaster with a housing that includes a carriage for toasting bread that is propelled upward when released to eject the bread. The housing is mounted on legs that are shorter on one side than the other, so that ejected toast is propelled to fall on the shorter side onto a receiver or plate.

Disclosed are a timing assembly and a toaster oven, the timing assembly (100) including: a mounting panel (120); a knob assembly (110) including a knob portion (112) and a knob shaft (114), the knob portion (112) having a first state and a second state, the knob shaft (114) being connected to the knob portion (112); a timer (130); and a limiting member (140) fixedly connected to the mounting panel (120) and matched with the knob portion (112). When the knob portion (112) in the first state is rotated, the limiting member (140) limits the rotation of the knob portion (112) within a preset range, and when the knob portion (112) in the second state is rotated, the knob portion (112) avoids the limiting member (140). The a toaster oven includes the timing assembly (100).

An actuating mechanism for a toaster, and in particular a bread identification actuating mechanism for a toaster, comprises a toast frame arranged in a housing, a sliding rack capable of moving upwards and downwards, and a control circuit, a toast rack being coupled to the sliding rack, a bracket being fixed to one end of the toast rack, the bracket being hinged to the sliding rack: wherein the toaster actuating mechanism is provided with a sensing device for identifying an angular displacement of the bracket, and the bracket drives a light barrier, the sensing device being arranged on a movement tack of the light barrier, the light barrier being capable of blocking a sensing light passage of the sensing device, the sensing device being coupled to the control circuit via a data line.
