Cooking unit with radiant heaters
First Claim
1. A cooking unit comprising:
- a hotplate (3) fixed to a support (4);
at least one electric radiant heater means (2) having an insulator member (6), a side of said insulator member (6) facing away from said hotplate (3) forming a back side;
said support (4) supporting said insulator member (6) on said back side;
said insulator member (6) bearing at least one radiant element (10) spaced with respect to said hotplate (3);
said electric radiant heater means (2) and said hotplate (3) forming a compound assembly, wherein said insulator member (6) has at least one projecting rim (7) of an elastic compressible insulating material providing a resting face resting against said hotplate (3) in a tight manner, at least one spring (22) being provided between said support (4) and said radiant heater means (2), said spring (22) pressing the radiant heater means (2) against said hotplate (3).

Abstract
In a cooking unit (1) in the marginal region of the underside of hotplate (3) a tensile stressed support (4) is fixed immediately adjacent to the outer circumference (8) of a radiant heater (2). Support (4) engages below a cover (13) of the insulation of radiant heater (2) serving as a base plate and at least one spring (22) is arranged between a marginal strip (16) and the underengaging leg (19), so that a prestressed, closed assembly for fitting in a hob or the like is formed. Appropriately there are several closely juxtaposed, rectangular radiant heaters (4) with in each case separately switchable or regulatable heating circuits, so that at least approximately 85% of the total surface of the cooking field can be directly heated.
