Temperature controlled food cooker having devices for stirring foods while cooking
| Details |
Inventors: Virgilio, Pallotti; Franco, Pallucchini;
Assignee:
Primary Examiner: Simone; Timothy F.
Assistant Examiner:
Attorney, Agent or Firm: McGlew and Tuttle
A food cooker is provided including a base provided with a heating plate and a temperature sensing element connected to temperature control devices. The sensing element is mounted on a sliding support so as to be maintained in contact with a bottom part of the pot. Provided inside the pot is a food stirring vane which is mounted in a rotating support driven from a motor located in the base. A vertical shaft extends upwardly through the center of the pot. Rotation of the shaft effects rotation of the support. The stirring vane receives rotational movement about an axis of the shaft from the support and receives further rotational movement about an axis passing through the vane by a gearing between the vane and the support. |

DETAILED DESCRIPTION We claim: 1.
A food cooker of the type including a base and heating plate comprising: a container for containing food to be cooked and arranged for mounting on the heating plate; a heating element and a thermostat controlling said heating element, said thermostat including a sensor mounted to a sliding support and an elastic means biasing said sensor against a bottom part of said container, said container including an internal sleeve, a fixed gear toothing provided on an annular edge of said sleeve, a shaft passing through said sleeve, said shaft being driven by a gearmotor arranged in the base, said sleeve having a support mounted for rotation on said sleeve, said support supporting a shaft, a vane on said shaft for stirring the food in said container, said shaft being provided with a gear toothing, an idle gear rotatably connected to said support and being arranged for mating with both of said sleeve fixed toothing and said shaft gear toothing.
2.
A food cooker according to claim 1 wherein the base includes control devices for controlling a time of cooking, the velocity of said vane and a temperature of cooking.
3.
A cooker according to claim 2 wherein said control devices are controlled from a microprocessor (COP) and one or more digital keyboards.
4.
A cooker according to claim 2 wherein said control devices are adjusted by means of control knobs, said control knobs being mounted to a wall of the base.
Description:
This invention relates to a time and temperature controlled food cooker having devices associated therewith for stirring food while cooking.
FIELD OF THE INVENTION This food cooker is of the type including a base provided with a heating plate and a pot mounted on the heating plate, wherein a sensing element is connected to temperature control devices and is mounted so to a slidable support as to be subject to the effect of elastic means which tend to constantly maintain the sensing element in contact with a bottom part of the pot.
This pot also includes a vane which is mounted to a rotating support and is driven from a gearmotor located in the base of the apparatus
