The connecting side 13 is provided with stop blocks 16 to confine the hooked bend to the connecting side 13.
The stop blocks 16 are in the shape of protrusion or concave.
A handle 17 is disposed on the central supporting pole 11. The elastic connecting piece 12, which is disposed on the central supporting pole 11 and removably connected with the supporting-holding frame 15, is made of metal rod or metal strip. The connecting sides 13 of the supporting-holding frame 15 are made of elastic wire.
As shown in
The cross-section of the toasting pan 8 is in the shape of a trapezium or a letter W.
The toasting pan 8 has walls of the same height or has the varying depth from deep to shallow as from middle to two ends.
With the technical scheme of this embodiment, the grill of the bread maker is an all detachable frame and the trays can be laid to overlap each other. Consumers can disassemble the grill apart simply by the following steps: hold the handle; press the curved elastic connecting piece lightly, then the elastic connecting piece will be in elastic deformation and the hooked bends of the elastic connecting piece can break loose from the connecting sides of the supporting-holding frame. The grill can be assembled based on the same working principle above.
As shown in
The central supporting frame comprises at least one central supporting pole 21 which is straight and perpendicular to the horizontal plane. More than one connecting piece 22, which is removably connected with the supporting-holding frame 25, are disposed on the central supporting pole 21. The connecting piece 22 is in the shape of a planar strip or a straight rod with hooked bends 24 at its two ends.
The supporting-holding frame 25 is a quadrilateral framework, of which two sides are parallel to the connecting piece 22 and the other two sides 251 are vertical to the connecting piece 22. The supporting-holding frame 25 is provided with two connecting rods 23 which are parallel to the sides 251 and are connected respectively with the two ends of the connecting piece 22. Each of the connecting rods 23 is removably fit into one hooked bend 24 of the connecting piece 22.
The connecting rods 23 are elastic.
The connecting rod 23 is provided with stop blocks 26 to confine the hooked bend 24 to the connecting rod 23. The stop blocks 26 are in the shape of protrusion or concave.

As shown in
The cross-section of the toasting pan 8 is in the shape of a trapezium or a letter W.
The toasting pan 8 has walls of the same height or has the varying depth from deep to shallow as from middle to two ends.
As shown in
The central supporting frame comprises at least a central supporting pole 31 which is in the shape of an n-shaped bend and is perpendicular to the horizontal plane. More than one connecting piece 32, which is removably connected with the supporting-holding frame 35, is disposed on the central supporting pole 31. The connecting piece 32 is a horizontal metal bar which is connected between the two ends of the central supporting pole 31. The supporting-holding frame 35 consists of two frame units 351, each of which is a quadrilateral framework with an opening on the inner side. The frame unit 351 is provided with hooked bends 33 at the two ends which can be rotatablely mounted on the connecting piece 32. The two frame units 351 are located respectively on the two sides of the connecting piece 32 and each of the two frame units 351 is provided with a raised outer side 352 to prevent the toasting pan from slipping.
The grill has bottom frames 34, as its supporting underframes, disposed at the bottom of the central supporting pole 31. The bottom frames 34 are rotatablely mounted on the central supporting pole 31 and extend to the two sides of the central supporting pole 31.
The grill has an assembleable structure, which has a stereoscopic structure for supporting after being assembled and has the folding state of overlapping partly at least when in storage and in package. The foldable supporting-holding frames 35 are positioned at different heights. There are two or more sets of supporting-holding frames for accommodating separate toasting pan 8 or jointed toasting pan 8 at each level.
The cross-section of the toasting pan 8 is in the shape of a straight line, a trapezium or a rectangle. When the cross-section of the toasting pan 8 is in the shape of a trapezium, several separate or jointed toasting pans 8 can be laid to overlap each other so as to save space. So also can the toasting pans 8 when its cross-section is in the shape of a straight line.
At least part of the central supporting pole 31, the supporting-holding frame 35 and the bottom frames 34 of the grill are detachable and assembleable. When folded, the foldable supporting-holding frame 35 is parallel to or at a certain angle relative to the horizontal plane, e.g., the angle can be ranged from 0° to 60°.
The grill and the pans of the bread maker with such structures don't occupy large space when in package and in transit, and they are convenient for the consumers in storage.
The preferred embodiments described above are not restricted. It will be understood by those skilled in the art that various modifications and changes may be made therein without departing from the scope of the invention.
