A deep fryer includes a fryer body containing therein frying oil and a basket movably received within the body to be lifted/lowered down. An L-shaped base member is fixed on top rim of the fryer body, having a vertical section received within the body and a horizontal section extending out of the body to which a handle is pivoted so that the handle is rotatable between a horizontal position and a vertical position. Two U-shaped members are provided, each having a central section rotatably supported on the vertical section of the base member and two legs rotatably attached to and accommodating the basket therebetween. A link received inside and pivoted to the horizontal section of the base member having a first end connected to an arm of the first U-shaped member and a second end opposite to the first end and movably received an arc slot formed on the handle so that by rotating the handle relative to the base member the U-shaped member is driven via the link to lift/lower down the basket within the fryer.

[ What is claimed is:] [1.] A deep fryer structure comprising a container-like body for containing frying oil, having a top opening defined by a top rim, and a basket movably received within the body through the top opening thereof, basket control means being provided to move the basket relative to the body between a lifted position and a lowered position, the basket control means comprising an L-shaped base member having a vertical section received into the body and a horizontal section received within a recess formed on the top rim of the body and extending outward therefrom, the horizontal section of the base member defining an interior channel into which an end of a handle is received and pivoted thereto to allow the handle to be rotatable with respect to the base member between a vertical position where the handle is substantially normal to the horizontal section of the base member and a horizontal position where the handle is substantially in alignment with the horizontal section of the base member, a U-shaped bar having a central section rotatably supported on the vertical section of the base member with two leg sections extending therefrom and spaced from each other to accommodate the basket therebetween in a relatively rotatably manner, the U-shaped bar further comprising an arm extending from the central section thereof and configured to allow the U-shaped bar to be rotated by rotating the arm relative to the central section, the arm being mechanically coupled to the handle so that by forcing the handle from the vertical position to the horizontal position, the arm is moved in a first direction to rotate the U-shaped bar in a lifting direction to have the leg sections thereof to move the basket from the lowered position to the lifted position and by forcing the handle from the horizontal position to the vertical position, the arm is moved in a second opposite direction to rotate the U-shaped bar in a lowering direction to have the leg sections thereof to move the basket from the lifted position to the lowered position.
