Abstract

A hot air fryer cooking appliance includes a hot air blowing system, a vessel and a basket. The basket includes a manipulating handle having a bracket and the vessel including an upper edge and a receiving area for the handle. The bracket bears against the upper edge and the handle is housed in the receiving area when positioning the basket in the vessel. The basket includes on its outer and inner walls a first and a second assembly part, respectively. These assembly parts cooperate and ensure the lateral guiding of the basket when positioning the basket in the vessel until the handle reaches its position in its receiving area and the basket reaches a centered bearing position in the vessel, allowing the bottom of the basket to be kept away from the bottom of the vessel and to be laterally wedged in the vessel.

Claims (12)

1. A hot air fryer cooking appliance comprising a hot air blowing system, a vessel and a basket, the basket comprising a front side on which is arranged a manipulating handle equipped with a bracket and the vessel comprising an upper edge and a front side on which is arranged a receiving area for the manipulating handle, the bracket bearing against the upper edge and the manipulating handle being housed in the receiving area when positioning the basket in the vessel, wherein the basket comprises an outer wall equipped with at least one first assembly part and the vessel comprises an inner wall equipped with at least one second assembly part, the at least one first assembly part and the at least one second assembly part being configured to cooperate and ensure lateral guiding of the basket when positioning the basket in the vessel until the manipulating handle reaches its position in its receiving area and the basket reaches a centered bearing position in the vessel, allowing the bottom of the basket to be kept away from the bottom of the vessel and allowing the basket to be laterally wedged in the vessel so as to position the basket in a functional cooking position.

2. The hot air fryer cooking appliance according to claim 1 , wherein the basket comprises a rear side equipped on its outer face with a first assembly part and the vessel comprises a rear side equipped on its inner face with a second assembly part, the first assembly part and the second assembly part being configured to cooperate and ensure the lateral guiding of the basket when placing the basket in the vessel until the basket reaches a centered bearing position in the vessel, allowing the bottom of the basket to be kept away from the bottom of the vessel and allowing the basket to be laterally wedged in the vessel.

3. The hot air fryer cooking appliance according to claim 2 , wherein each first assembly part comprises two guide branches extending upward while drawing closer to each other until forming a peak and each second assembly part comprises a protruding element which is housed between the two branches when positioning the basket in the vessel.

4. The hot air fryer cooking appliance according to claim 3 , wherein the lower extremities of the guide branches are extended toward the front of the appliance by two deflectors arranged at right angles with respect to the branches and extending below the bottom of the basket, the deflectors making it possible to direct the circulation of hot air in the vessel.

5. The hot air fryer cooking appliance according to claim 4 , wherein the two deflectors form a tip oriented toward the front of the vessel.

6. The hot air fryer cooking appliance according to claim 4 , wherein the branches and the deflectors are formed of a single piece.

7. The hot air fryer cooking appliance according to claim 4 , wherein the branches and the deflectors are made of plastic material.

8. The hot air fryer cooking appliance according to claim 4 , wherein the deflectors are configured to stay away from the bottom of the vessel when the basket is housed in the vessel.

9. The hot air fryer cooking appliance according to claim 3 , wherein each protruding element is formed of a boss on the inner wall of the vessel.

10. The hot air fryer cooking appliance according to claim 3 , wherein each protruding element is formed of a part connected on the inner wall of the vessel.

11. The hot air fryer cooking appliance according to claim 1 , wherein the basket comprises two lateral sides each equipped on their outer faces with a first assembly part, and the vessel comprises two lateral sides each equipped on their inner faces with a second assembly part, the two first assembly parts and the two second assembly parts being configured to cooperate and ensure the lateral guiding of the basket when placing the basket in the vessel until the basket reaches a centered bearing position in the vessel, allowing the bottom of the basket to be kept away from the bottom of the vessel and allowing the basket to be laterally wedged in the vessel.

12. The hot air fryer cooking appliance according to claim 1 , further comprising a locking system arranged between the manipulating handle and the receiving area so as to keep the basket and the vessel assembled, the locking system being able to be deactivated by a control button so as to separate the basket from the vessel.
