`
`FIG. 3 is a circuit diagram of the electromagnetic induction heating circuit block
`7. As shown in the drawing, a power source 10 is connected in series, each with a
`resonance circuit composed of the heating coil 5a and a capacitor 11, a switching
`element 9 composed of FETs lie, field—effect transistors), and a resistor 12. The power
`source 10 is also connected in series, each with a resistor 13 and a capacitor 14 so that
`the capacitor 14 is charged by electric power from the power source 10 through the
`resistor 13. A connecting point 15 between the resistor 13 and the capacitor 14 is
`connected to a gate of the switching element 9 Via a feedback winding 16 and a resistor
`17. A connecting point 18 between the switching element 9 and the resistor 12 is
`connected to a base of a transistor 19 Via a resistor 21. An emitter and a collector of the
`
`transistor 19 are connected to the power source 10 and a connecting point 20 between the
`resistor 17 and the switching element 9, respectively, Therefore, when electric power is
`supplied from the power source 10, this circuit is oscillated, and thus electromagnetic
`induction heating of the heating coil 5a is performed. When the electric power supply is
`stopped, the electromagnetic induction heating of the heating coil 5a is terminated.-—-
