TOASTER WITH AN ELECTRICAL HEATING DEVICE

The invention is directred to an electric heating in a bread toaster, comprising an insulating body (11) and heat conductor portions (14, 14') which may be arranged on both the front part and the back of the insulating body (11) and are pressed thereagainst by mounting strips (21). To compensate for uneven browning of the article to be toasted-which is caused by the bread toaster being cooled by an air current entering at its bottom and subsequently flowing mainly in the area of the center axis (X) of the insulating body (11)-, it is suggested to provide the mounting strips (21) on the insulating body (11) spaced from one center aixs (X) and thus substantially outside the range of action of the air current. In heating units referred to as center heating units in which the heat conductor portions (14, 14')-separated only by the insulating body (11)-cross each other along the center axis (X), high thermal loads and the attendant risks of scorching of the insulating body (11) and of electric short circuits are avoided by the invention.
