A plug-in surface heating unit assembly for use in the cooktop of an electric range. The heating unit is a metal sheathed electrical resistance heating element in spiral form with radial, outwardly directed terminal portions in close formation. The invention relates to a folded spring blade which is fastened between a movable terminal block and the cooktop so that the spring normally biases the terminal block into an upward position while biasing the heating unit into a down position so that the unit will sit level with respect to the cooktop. The terminal block is supported by means of a lost-motion connection from a fixed mounting bracket that is supported under the cooktop.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION The present invention, in accordance with one form thereof, relates to a plug-in surface heating unit assembly having a fixed mounting bracket and a movable terminal block supported from the bracket by a lost-motion fastening means.
A folded spring blade joins the terminal block to the cooktop.
The spring blade has a top tab seated on the cooktop, and a vertical midsection for fastening the blade to the cooktop, and a lower cantilever spring section so as to bias the terminal block into its uppermost position with respect to the mounting bracket.
