The bimetal coil/latch release method that has dominated the industry since the 1950s (at least in the low to medium end) seems so obvious it's amazing they took so long to settle on it. Then again, I remember an uncle of mine who insisted upon using a two slice single sided "flip down" toaster in the late 1960s, or maybe longer. And in a family of seven, no less. Then again, "toast duty" took two kids out from underfoot. There were two-sided toasters before this, but clockwork ones never made any sense to me.
