Abstract

A cooking device is provided with a casing, a heating compartment ( 102 ) provided within the casing and having an opening on the front face side of the heating compartment, a door for opening and closing the opening of the heating compartment ( 102 ), a lamp ( 104 ) for lighting the inside of the heating compartment ( 102 ), and a steel plate ( 134 ) mounted indirectly to the heating compartment ( 102 ). The lamp ( 10 4) is mounted to the free end section of the steel plate ( 134 ).

1 . A cooking device comprising:
 a casing;   a heating compartment provided in the casing and having an opening on a front face side thereof;   a door configured and arranged to open and close the opening of the heating compartment;   a light emitting device configured and arranged to illuminate inside of the heating compartment; and   an elastic member directly or indirectly mounted on the heating compartment,   the light emitting device being mounted on a free end part of the elastic member.   
     
     
         2 . The cooking device as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein
 the elastic member elastically supports the light emitting device such that the light emitting device is swingable in to-and-fro directions.   
     
     
         3 . The cooking device as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein the elastic member is mounted on the heating compartment through a mount frame. 
     
     
         4 . The cooking device as claimed in  claim 3 , wherein
 the elastic member is a plate that has a smaller thickness than the mount frame has.   
     
     
         5 . The cooking device as claimed in  claim 4 , wherein
 the light emitting device includes:   a main body; and   a support mounted on the free end part of the elastic member to support the main body, and wherein   the elastic member is the plate, the thickness of which is smaller than a thickness of the support.   
     
     
         6 . The cooking device as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein
 the elastic member is provided so as to surround the light emitting device.   
     
     
         7 . The cooking device as claimed in  claim 6 , wherein
 portions of the elastic member that face a front face, a rear face and both side surfaces of the light emitting device, respectively, have generally same surface areas.   
     
     
         8 . The cooking device as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein
 the elastic member is directly or indirectly mounted on a top part or a side part of the heating compartment.   
     
     
         9 . The cooking device as claimed in  claim 1 , further comprising a steam producing device provided in the casing to produce steam to be supplied into the heating compartment.
