| Summary: | This invention relates to an electric toaster and in particular to a rack system for a toaster.
A toaster having a heating enclosure including a first support wall and a second support wall extending outwardly from a base. A pair of opposed racks extend between the first and second support walls along the sides of the heating enclosure. Each rack has a bottom edge hingedly supported by the support walls and a top edge wherein the top edges are biased toward each other. The racks have one end rotatably supported by a plastic bearing and are biased along their axis of rotation against the bearing to provide smooth and quiet rotation. A toast carriage extends from a plastic arm hub which is slidingly supported adjacent the second support wall between an upper and lower limit position. The arm hub includes a plurality of bearing arms slidingly engaging a portion of the racks extending outside of the heating enclosure wherein in upper limit position the bearing arms separate the top edges of the rack a first predetermined distance apart and in the lower limit position the top edges of the racks are separated a second predetermined distance apart. |
