Description

[Technical Field]

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of a hot plate in which a main body having a cooking plate can be placed in an upright position. [Background technology]

[0002] Hot plates are electric cookers that use a heater to heat the cooking plate from the back side. Some hot plates have a main body with a cooking plate that can be placed upright on a table, floor, shelf, or other surface (see, for example, Patent Document 1).

[0003] The hot plate described in Patent Document 1 has four legs on the outer periphery of the main body, which allow the main body to stand upright and be placed on a support surface in an upright position. By placing the main body on a support surface in an upright position, for example, the hot plate can be stored without requiring a large space in the thickness direction, ensuring good storage properties and improving convenience.

[0004] [Patent Document 1] Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2005-211556 Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]

[0005] In the hot plate described in Patent Document 1, the four legs allow the main body to stand upright, ensuring convenience, but in order to place the main body stably on a support surface, the legs must be spaced apart in the thickness direction of the main body by a large distance. Therefore, the increased leg distance requires that the main body be thicker, which may result in an increase in the size and weight of the hot plate.

[0006] SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION It is therefore an object of the present invention to ensure a stable placement of the main body in the vertical position while ensuring a slim main body. [Means for solving the problem]

[0007] The hot plate of the present invention comprises a main body having a cooking plate with a grilling surface and an attachment portion at least a portion of which is formed from a magnetic material, and a pair of stands which have a plurality of legs and connecting portions which connect the legs and are detachable from the attachment portion, with magnets attached to the stands, so that the main body can be used when the pair of stands are attached to the attachment portion in a first position, and the main body can be placed on a placement surface in an upright position when the pair of stands are attached to the attachment portion by attraction of the magnets in a second position.

[0008] As a result, the pair of stands are attached to the attachment portions at the second position and the main body is placed in a vertical position, so that the main body can be placed in a vertical position regardless of the thickness of the main body. [Effects of the Invention]

[0009] According to the present invention, a pair of stands are attached to the attachment portion at the second position and the main body is placed in a vertical position, so that the main body can be placed in a vertical position regardless of the thickness of the main body, and a stable placement state of the main body in a vertical position can be ensured while ensuring a thin main body.

[0011] DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS A hot plate according to an embodiment of the present invention will now be described with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0012] The hot plate described below has a main body with a cooking plate and a pair of stands, which are detachably attached to the main body. In the following description of the hot plate, the front, back, up, down, left, and right directions are described in terms of the state when food is being cooked using the cooking plate. Therefore, the side where the cooking plate is located is referred to as the upper side, the side where the stands are located is referred to as the lower side, and the direction in which the pair of stands are aligned during cooking is referred to as the left-right direction. However, the front, back, up, down, left, and right directions described below are for the sake of convenience, and the implementation of the present invention is not limited to these directions.

[0013] <Hot plate configuration> Hot plate 1 has a main body 2 and a pair of stands 3 (see FIGS. 1 and 2). Hot plate 1 has a generally rectangular planar shape, for example, a generally rectangular shape, with the longer side of the rectangle extending in the left-right direction.

[0014] The main body 2 has a cooking plate 4 located on the upper side, a reflector 5 located on the lower side that also functions as an attachment part, and a connector 6 to which a controller (not shown) equipped with a temperature adjustment knob is connected, with the cooking plate 4 and reflector 5 joined at the top and bottom. The thickness direction of the main body 2 is vertical, and a heater (not shown) is disposed in the internal space formed by the joining of the cooking plate 4 and reflector 5. The heater is connected to the connector 6.

[0015] A cable connected to a commercial power source is connected to the controller, and when the controller is connected to connector 6, power can be supplied to the heater.

[0016] The cooking plate 4 is composed of a substantially rectangular plate portion 7 and a peripheral portion 8 that protrudes from the outer periphery of the plate portion 7, which are integrally formed.

[0017] The upper surface of the plate portion 7 is formed as a grilling surface 7a, which is formed as a gently spherical surface that is convex upward (outward) (see Figures 1 and 4). Specifically, the grilling surface 7a is formed as a spherical surface that is close to a flat surface with an extremely small curvature, with the center positioned at the top (see Figure 4). Note that Figure 4 exaggerates the spherical surface of the grilling surface 7a.

[0018] The peripheral edge 8 is composed of a base end 8a that is continuous with the outer periphery of the plate portion 7 and a tip end 8b that is continuous with the base end 8a. The base end 8a projects diagonally outward from the plate portion 7, and the tip end 8b projects upward from the tip edge of the base end 8a. The intersection line on the outer surface of the base end 8a and the tip end 8b is formed as a boundary line 8c.

[0019] By providing the peripheral portion 8 as described above on the hot plate 1, the food to be cooked is less likely to spill over from the cooking plate 4 during cooking, and oil and moisture produced during cooking are less likely to drip onto the table, etc., allowing cooking to be carried out quickly and smoothly. In particular, when cooking fluid ingredients such as okonomiyaki or pancakes, even if these ingredients flow to the outer periphery of the plate portion 7, the ingredients are blocked by the peripheral portion 8 and do not flow outward from the plate portion 7, allowing cooking to be carried out without any inconvenience.

[0020] Furthermore, since the grilling surface 7a of the cooking plate 4 is formed as an upwardly convex spherical surface, oil and moisture produced during cooking, for example, grilled meat or stir-fried vegetables, can easily flow to the outer periphery of the grilling surface 7a, ensuring that the cooked food is cooked in a good condition.

[0021] Furthermore, since the oil produced during cooking is more likely to flow to the outer periphery of the grilling surface 7a, which has a relatively low surface temperature, it is less likely that oil smoke will be produced due to burning of the oil in the food or in the center of the cooking plate 4, which becomes hot during cooking.It is also easier to wipe off oil and other debris after cooking, making cleaning after cooking easier.

[0022] Furthermore, as mentioned above, the grilling surface 7a is a spherical surface with an extremely small curvature, close to a flat surface. Therefore, when cooking fluid ingredients such as okonomiyaki or pancakes, the ingredients are less likely to flow to the outer periphery of the plate portion 7, and cooking can be carried out without damaging the good shape of the food.

[0023] Reflector 5 is made of a magnetic metal material such as cold-rolled steel plate and has the function of reflecting heat generated by the heater and transmitting it to cooking plate 4. Reflector 5 is integrally formed with a substantially rectangular bottom plate portion 9 facing vertically and a standing wall portion 10 protruding from the outer periphery of bottom plate portion 9 (see Figures 4 and 5).

[0024] A positioning rib 11 is provided on the bottom plate portion 9, for example, in the center in the front-to-rear direction. The positioning rib 11 is formed by bulging a portion of the bottom plate portion 9 downward, and is formed in a horizontally elongated shape. The positioning rib 11 consists of a rectangular base portion 12 extending left and right, and a circumferential portion 13 connected to the outer periphery of the base portion 12. The circumferential portion 13 protrudes diagonally upward and outward from the base portion 12, and is inclined relative to the base portion 12. The circumferential portion 13 is made up of four portions connected to each side of the base portion 12, and one of the portions extending left and right is provided as a positioning portion 13a.

[0025] The upper end of reflecting plate 5 is joined to the outer periphery of plate portion 7 of cooking plate 4. A plurality of air circulation holes (not shown) are formed in upright wall portion 10 of reflecting plate 5.

[0026] For example, four insertion protrusions 14 are attached to the reflector 5 (see FIGS. 5 and 6). The insertion protrusions 14 are formed, for example, from a resin material, and are attached to the four corners of the underside of the bottom plate portion 9. For example, a mounting magnet 15 is attached inside the insertion protrusions 14. Note that a magnetic metal plate may be attached inside the insertion protrusions 14 instead of the mounting magnet 15. The outer shape of the insertion protrusions 14 is formed, for example, in the shape of a truncated cone whose diameter decreases downward.

[0027] The connector 6 is positioned adjacent to the side of the positioning rib 11 and is attached to the reflector 5 (see FIG. 5). The front-to-rear width of the connector 6 is greater than the front-to-rear width of the positioning rib 11.

[0028] The stand 3 is made of, for example, a resin material, and has a pair of legs 16 and a connecting portion 17 that connects the pair of legs 16 (see FIGS. 3 and 5).

[0029] The leg 16 has a box-shaped support portion 18 that is open upward and a connecting portion 19 attached to the upper end of the support portion 18 (see FIG. 7).

[0030] The support portion 18 is composed of a cylindrical portion 20 formed in a substantially rectangular cylindrical shape and a bottom surface portion 21 whose outer periphery is continuous with the lower end portion of the cylindrical portion 20. The cylindrical portion 20 is composed of a first surface portion 22, an inner surface portion 23, a second surface portion 24, and an outer surface portion 25, which are continuous in this order in the circumferential direction, and the end portion of the connecting portion 17 is continuous with the inner surface portion 23 (see Figures 3, 5, and 7). The upper edge of the first surface portion 22 of the cylindrical portion 20 is formed as a positioning edge 20a.

[0031] A first magnet 26 is attached to the first surface portion 22 (see FIG. 7). The first magnet 26 is formed, for example, in a plate shape and is positioned on the inner surface side of the first surface portion 22 so as not to be exposed on the outer surface side of the first surface portion 22.

[0032] A sheet member 27 made of rubber or the like is attached to the underside of bottom portion 21. Sheet member 27 comes into contact with mounting surface 100 when hot plate 1 is placed on mounting surface 100, and has the function of preventing hot plate 1 from slipping or rattling on mounting surface 100.

[0033] The coupling portion 19 comprises a generally rectangular cylindrical mounting portion 28 with its axial direction aligned vertically, a magnet mounting portion 29 whose outer periphery is continuous with the lower end of the mounting portion 28, and a protrusion 30 that protrudes upward from the inner periphery of the mounting portion 28. The protrusion 30 is formed, for example, in a cylindrical shape. A space that opens upward is formed inside the portion of the coupling portion 19 that spans the mounting portion 28 and the protrusion 30, and this space forms an insertion recess 19a. A second magnet 31 is attached to the magnet mounting portion 29. The second magnet 31 is formed, for example, in a plate shape and is positioned on the lower surface (inner surface) of the magnet mounting portion 29, and is not exposed on the upper surface of the magnet mounting portion 29.

[0034] The connecting portion 19 is attached by inserting the attached portion 28 and the magnet attaching portion 29 into the cylindrical portion 20 of the support portion 18 from above, and fitting the attached portion 28 into the cylindrical portion 20 by adhesive, press-fitting, etc. When the connecting portion 19 is attached to the support portion 18, the protruding portion 30 is positioned above the cylindrical portion 20.

[0035] The connecting portion 17 is formed in a generally rectangular tube shape with its axial direction aligned in the front-to-rear direction, and both longitudinal ends are connected to the inner surface 23 of the leg portion 16. The connecting portion 17 is connected to the leg portion 16 at a vertically and horizontally intermediate portion of the leg 16. Therefore, in the stand 3, the upper and lower portions of the leg 16 are positioned above and below the upper and lower surfaces of the connecting portion 17, respectively, and the first surface 22 and the second surface 24 of the leg 16 are positioned laterally from the left and right surfaces of the connecting portion 17, respectively. A mark 32, such as an arrow indicating the first surface 22 of the leg 16, is provided on the upper surface of the connecting portion 17. The mark 32 may also be provided on the leg 16.

[0036] <Attaching and detaching the stand from the main unit> As described above, the pair of stands 3 are detachably attached to the main body 2. At the first position, the inserting protrusions 14 of the stands 3 are inserted and the stands 3 are attached to the main body 2 (see FIGS. 1, 2 and 6), and at the second position, the stands 3 are attached to the main body 2 by being attracted to the reflecting plate 5 (see FIGS. 8 and 9).

[0037] The stand 3 is attached to the main body 2 in the first position by connecting the stand 3 to the insertion protrusion 14 (see FIG. 6). The stand 3 can be connected to the insertion protrusion 14 by inserting and fitting the insertion protrusions 14 into the insertion recesses 19a formed on the pair of legs 16.

[0038] When the insertion protrusion 14 is inserted and the stand 3 is attached to the main body 2, the attachment magnet 15 or magnetic metal plate arranged inside the insertion protrusion 14 is attracted by the magnetic force of the second magnet 31 attached to the leg 16, and the second magnet 31 is attracted to the insertion protrusion 14. This ensures a stable attachment state of the stand 3 to the main body 2. Furthermore, by keeping the second magnet 31 attracted to the insertion protrusion 14, the stand 3 will not fall off the main body 2 due to its own weight when, for example, the hot plate 1 is lifted, and the stand 3 can be prevented from falling.

[0039] Furthermore, in the hot plate 1, when the mounting magnet 15 is placed inside the insertion protrusion 14, the second magnet 31 may not be attached to the connecting portion 19, but the connecting portion 19 may be formed of a magnetic metal material, and the connecting portion 19 may be configured to be attracted by the magnetic force of the mounting magnet 15.

[0040] Furthermore, the hot plate 1 may be configured so that the mounting magnet 15 or magnetic metal plate is not disposed inside the insertion protrusion 14 and the second magnet 31 is not attached to the coupling portion 19. In this case, the stand 3 is mounted to the main body 2 by inserting the insertion protrusion 14 into the insertion recess 19a.

[0041] When the pair of stands 3 are attached to the main body 2 in the first position, the four legs 16 can be placed on a support surface 100 such as a table and the hot plate 1 can be used (see FIG. 1). Therefore, by attaching the pair of stands 3 to the main body 2, it is possible to connect a controller to the connector 6 and use the main body 2 to cook food.

[0042] When the stand 3 is attached to the main body 2 and the four legs 16 are placed on a support surface 100 such as a table, the pair of stands 3 are attached to both left and right ends of the main body 2 in the longitudinal direction (left-right direction) of the main body 2, so the distance between the pair of stands 3 is longer, ensuring a stable placement of the hot plate 1 on the support surface 100.

[0043] Furthermore, when the stand 3 is attached to the main body 2 in the first position, the upper surfaces of the protrusions 30 on the legs 16 are in contact with or close to the lower surface of the bottom plate 9 of the reflector 5. Therefore, during cooking, the protrusions 30 are the only parts of the stand 3 that are in contact with or close to the reflector 5, so the amount of heat transferred from the reflector 5 to the stand 3 is reduced, preventing a temperature rise in the stand 3 and protecting the stand 3.

[0044] Furthermore, when the stand 3 is attached to the main body 2 in the first position, the insertion protrusion 14 is inserted into the insertion recess 19a of the leg 16 and the insertion protrusion 14 attached to the bottom plate 9 is in contact with the joint 19. However, since the insertion protrusion 14 is formed from a resin material, heat is less likely to be transferred from the reflector 5 to the stand 3 via the insertion protrusion 14, thereby further protecting the stand 3.

[0045] There may be times when it is necessary to move the hot plate 1 during cooking, etc. In this case, the hot plate 1 can be moved by inserting fingers into the upper and lower parts of the connecting portion 17 and gripping the connecting portion 17. By inserting fingers and gripping the connecting portion 17 in this way, the hot plate 1 can be easily moved and the hot plate 1 can be moved without touching the cooking plate 4, which is heated, thereby improving safety.

[0046] On the other hand, stand 3 attached in the first position can be removed from main body 2, for example, by grasping connecting portion 17 and pulling stand 3 to extract insertion protrusion 14 from insertion recess 19a. At this time, because connecting portion 17 is connected to the middle portion of leg 16 in the vertical direction, a gap is created between connecting portion 17 and bottom plate portion 9 of reflector 5, and the cook can easily grasp connecting portion 17 by inserting their fingers into the gap.

[0047] As described above, in the hot plate 1, the stand 3 can be attached to or detached from the main body 2 in the first position by inserting the insertion protrusion 14 into or pulling out the insertion protrusion 14 from the insertion recess 19a, so that the attaching and detaching of the stand 3 to or from the main body 2 can be performed easily and quickly.

[0048] In the hot plate 1, the connecting portion 17 of the stand 3 may be formed long, and the pair of legs 16 may be attached to the insertion protrusions 14 positioned at a distance in the longitudinal direction (left-right direction) of the main body 2. In this case, the pair of stands 3 are positioned at a distance in the front-rear direction.

[0049] The stand 3 is attached to the main body 2 in the second position by connecting a pair of stands 3 stacked on top of each other to the bottom plate 9 of the reflector 5 (see Figures 8 and 9). The stand 3 is attached to the main body 2 in the second position after cooking is completed, for example, when storing the hot plate 1.

[0050] The stands 3 can be joined to the bottom plate 9 by bringing the first surface 22 of the legs 16 into contact with the bottom plate 9, with the bottom surface 21 of one stand 3 overlapping the protrusions 30 of the other stand 3. The first surface 22 can be brought into contact with the bottom plate 9 by using marks 32 on the stands 3 as a guide (see FIG. 9). Therefore, by providing the marks 32 on the stands 3, the stand 3 will not be brought into contact with the bottom plate 9 in the wrong orientation, improving the convenience and speed of the work of attaching the stands 3 to the main body 2.

[0051] When the stand 3 is attached to the main body 2, the bottom plate 9 is attracted by the magnetic force of the four first magnets 26 attached to the legs 16, and the first magnets 26 are attracted to the bottom plate 9. Therefore, when the stand 3 is attracted, the first surface 22 is in surface contact with the bottom plate 9, ensuring a stable attachment state of the stand 3 to the main body 2.

[0052] When the stand 3 is attached to the main body 2 in the second position, the positioning edge 20a of the tubular portion 20 of one of the stands 3 abuts against and aligns with the positioning portion 13a of the positioning rib 11 provided on the reflector 5, thereby positioning the pair of stands 3 relative to the main body 2 in the overlapping direction (see Figure 10).

[0053] When the positioning edge 20a abuts against the positioning portion 13a to position the stand 3 relative to the main body 2, the left-right position of the leg 16 relative to the positioning rib 11 is changed depending on the left-right mounting position of the stand 3 relative to the main body 2. At this time, the connector 6 and the insertion protrusion 14 are positioned on the left and right of the stand 3, with a gap A existing between one stand 3 and the connector 6 and a gap B existing between the other stand 3 and the insertion protrusion 14 (see Figure 11).

[0054] Therefore, the two stacked stands 3 can be attached to the reflector 5 between the position where one (upper) stand 3 contacts the connector 6 and the position where the other (lower) stand 3 contacts the insertion protrusion 14 in the left-right direction.

[0055] However, in the case of the hot plate 1, the length of the positioning rib 11 in the left-right direction is determined so that the left and right legs 16 are not positioned outside the positioning rib 11 in the left-right direction, regardless of whether one stand 3 is in contact with the connector 6 or the other stand 3 is in contact with the insertion protrusion 14.

[0056] Therefore, when the stand 3 is attached to the main body 2 in the second position, the positioning edge 20a is kept in abutment against the positioning portion 13a regardless of the attachment position of the stand 3 in the left-right direction relative to the main body 2, and the pair of stands 3 can be positioned relative to the main body 2 in the overlapping direction regardless of the left-right position of the stand 3.

[0057] When the pair of stands 3 are attached to the main body 2 in the second position, the main body 2 is placed vertically on the placing surface 100 (see FIGS. 8 to 10). When the main body 2 is placed vertically on the placing surface 100, as described above, the positioning edge 20a abuts against the positioning portion 13a in line contact, and the edge 21a of the bottom surface 21 of the lower stand 3 and the boundary line 8c of the peripheral edge 8 of the cooking plate 4 are each in line contact with the placing surface 100 (see FIG. 10).

[0058] Therefore, when the main body 2 is placed vertically on the placing surface 100, the cooking plate 4 and the stand 3 are in line contact with the placing surface 100 at the boundary line 8c and the edge 21a, and the stand 3 is in line contact with the positioning rib 11 at the positioning edge 20a, resulting in line contact at three different positions. This makes it difficult for the cooking plate 4 and the stand 3 to wobble relative to the placing surface 100, and also makes it difficult for the stand 3 to wobble relative to the main body 2, allowing the main body 2 to be placed stably on the placing surface 100.

[0059] Furthermore, when the main body 2 is placed on the placing surface 100 in a vertical position, as described above, there is line contact at three positions: the boundary line 8c, the edge 21a, and the positioning edge 20a, and the hot plate 1 is placed in a state inclined at a predetermined angle toward the stand 3 with respect to the vertical. The predetermined angle is, for example, from one degree to several degrees, and in FIG. 10, V indicates a vertical line and P indicates the inclination angle of the main body 2 with respect to the vertical.

[0060] In this way, in the hot plate 1, the main body 2 is placed on the placing surface 100 in a vertical position inclined toward the stand 3 from the vertical state in the second position, so that the main body 2 is less likely to tip over to the side opposite the stand 3, and the main body 2 can be placed on the placing surface 100 in an even more stable state.

[0061] On the other hand, stand 3 attached in the second position can be removed from main body 2, for example, by grasping connecting portion 17 and pulling stand 3 to separate leg portion 16 from bottom plate portion 9. At this time, because connecting portion 17 is connected to the middle portion of leg 16 in the vertical direction, a gap is created between connecting portion 17 and bottom plate portion 9, and the cook can easily grasp connecting portion 17 by inserting their fingers into the gap.

[0062] As described above, in the hot plate 1, the stand 3 can be attached to and detached from the main body 2 in the second position by bringing the first surface portion 22 into contact with the bottom plate portion 9 or by pulling the leg portion 16 away from the bottom plate portion 9, so that the attaching and detaching of the stand 3 to and from the main body 2 can be performed easily and quickly.

[0063] <Other> In the hot plate 1, the pair of stands 3 can be joined by removing the pair of stands 3 from the main body 2 and facing the first surfaces 22 (see FIG. 12). By facing the first surfaces 22, the first magnets 26 are attracted to each other and attracted to each other, and the pair of stands 3 are joined together with the legs 16 joined to each other.

[0064] In the hot plate 1, it is also possible to store the main body 2 and the pair of stands 3 in a state where the pair of stands 3 are connected as described above. By storing the hot plate 1 in a state where the pair of stands 3 are connected, it is possible to prevent the stands 3 from being lost.

[0065] Furthermore, the hot plate 1 can be placed on the placement surface 100 with the stand 3 removed from the main body 2. In this case, the four insertion protrusions 14 are in contact with the placement surface 100.

[0066] In this way, it is possible to cook with the hot plate 1 placed on the placement surface 100 with the stand 3 detached from the main body 2. However, if the stand 3 is attached to the main body 2 and the main body 2 heats the food to be cooked and cooks it, the distance from the placement surface 100 to the cooking plate 4 becomes large, making it difficult for heat to be transferred to the placement surface 100 and suppressing a temperature rise on the placement surface 100. Therefore, it is preferable to cook with the stand 3 attached to the main body 2.

[0067] <Summary> As described above, in the hot plate 1, the first magnet 26 is attached to the stand 3, and the pair of stands 3 are attached to the attachment portion (reflector 5) in a first position, thereby making the main body 2 usable, and the pair of stands 3 are attached to the attachment portion in a second position by attraction of the first magnet 26, thereby making the main body 2 able to be placed on the placement surface 100 in a vertical position.

[0068] Therefore, since the pair of stands 3 are attached to the attachment parts and the main body 2 is placed in a vertical position, the main body 2 can be placed in a vertical position regardless of the thickness of the main body 2, and a stable placement state of the main body 2 in a vertical position can be ensured while ensuring a thin main body 2.

[0069] Furthermore, since the stand 3 is attached to the attachment portion in different orientations at the first position and the second position, the attachment operation of the stand 3 to the attachment portion at the first position and the attachment operation of the stand 3 to the attachment portion at the second position are clearly distinguished, and the attachment operations at both the first position and the second position can be performed reliably and quickly.

[0070] Furthermore, the leg 16 of the stand 3 has a first surface 22 and a second surface 24 positioned on opposite sides, a first magnet 26 is attached to the first surface 22, and the stand 3 is in a second position with the first surface 22 in contact with the mounting portion.

[0071] Therefore, when the first surface portion 22 comes into contact with the mounting portion, the stand 3 is attached to the mounting portion at the second position by attraction of the first magnet 26, and the main body 2 is placed in a vertical position, thereby preventing the stand 3 from being attached to the mounting portion in an incorrect orientation.

[0072] Furthermore, when the first surface portion 22 is in contact with the mounting portion, the first magnet 26 is strongly attracted to the mounting portion, so when the second surface portion 24 is in contact with the mounting portion, it is difficult to mount the stand 3.

[0073] Therefore, by bringing the first surface 22 into contact with the mounting portion, the cook can stably mount the stand 3 to the mounting portion in the correct orientation. Furthermore, if the cook mistakenly brings the second surface 24 into contact with the mounting portion, the first magnet 26 will not be attracted to the mounting portion, making it difficult to mount the stand 3 to the mounting portion, and the cook can be made aware that the stand 3 is being mounted in the wrong orientation to the mounting portion.

[0074] Furthermore, when the pair of stands 3 are stacked together and in the second position, the first surface portions 22 of each stand 3 come into contact with the mounting portion.

[0075] Therefore, since the pair of stands 3 are stacked in the second position and attached to the main body 2 with each first surface portion 22 in contact with the attachment portion, the overall thickness of the hot plate 1 is reduced when the main body 2 is placed vertically, and the placement space (storage space) in the thickness direction of the hot plate 1 can be reduced.

[0076] In addition, the mounting portion is provided with a positioning rib 11 that protrudes outward, and one of the stands 3 is engaged with the positioning rib 11 at the second position.

[0077] Therefore, one of the stands 3 is engaged with the positioning rib 11, thereby positioning it relative to the mounting part at the second position, and therefore the stand 3 can be mounted in the correct position relative to the mounting part with a simple configuration, ensuring a stable placement of the main body 2.
