A toaster for heating both a frankfurter and a frankfurter bun is disclosed. The toaster has a frankfurter heating chamber having associated first heating elements for heating at least two opposed surfaces of a frankfurter placed in said frankfurter heating chamber and at least one bun heating chamber having an associated second heating element for heating at least one surface of a bun placed in said bun heating chamber. The toaster includes an elevator having a first portion for supporting the frankfurter in the frankfurter heating chamber and a second portion for supporting the bun in the bun heating chamber. A connecting means connects the first portion to said second portion and permits a limited amount of play between said first and second portion. In one embodiment the connecting means includes a generally upside down U-shaped link bar. The first portion circumferentially restrains the frankfurter for at least a lower half of the frankfurter while simultaneously allowing radiant heat from said first element means to impinge on said restrained lower half of said frankfurter. A means for raising and lowering the elevator in the toaster is also disclosed. In one embodiment the elevator may be removable from said toaster to allow cleaning and the like. |

DETAILED DESCRIPTION Accordingly, what is desired is a toaster which is constructed so that the frankfurter will not jam in the heating chamber upon being exposed to the heat from the heating elements.
Additionally, it would be desireable to have a toaster which contained removeable components for the ease of cleaning such components.
Therefore, according to the present invention there is provided, a toaster for heating both a frankfurter and a frankfurter bun said toaster comprising: a frankfurter heating chamber, said frankfurter heating chamber having an associated first element means for heating a frankfurter placed in said frankfurter heating chamber, said first element means heating said frankfurter on at least two opposed surfaces of said frankfurter, at least one bun heating chamber said bun heating chamber having an associated second element means for heating a bun placed in said bun heating chamber, said second element means heating said bun on at least one surface of said bun, an elevator, said elevator comprising a first portion for supporting said frankfurter in said frankfurter heating chamber, a second portion for supporting said bun in said bun heating chamber and a connecting means, said connecting means connecting said first portion to said second portion and permitting a limited amount of play between said first portion and said second portion, said first portion circumferentially restraining said frankfurter for at least a lower half of said frankfurter, and simultaneously allowing radiant heat from said first element means to impinge on said restrained lower half of said frankfurter, a means for raising and lowering said elevator, said elevator in a lower position supporting said frankfurter and said bun substantially within said respective frankfurter heating chamber and said bun heating chamber, and said elevator, in a raised position supporting said frankfurter and said bun with at least a portion of said frankfurter and said bun projecting outwardly of said respective frankfurter heating chamber and said bun heating chamber, through respective open tops of said chambers
