20090013986 | Device With a Door - A device with a door, in particular a door of a cooking appliance, supported for pivoting movement in a pivoting direction, for closing a useable space and with a guide system for at least partially lowering the door into a storage space in a guided manner, the device comprising at least one guide assembly operatively associated with the guide system and coupled to the door in a static manner in the pivoting direction and coupled to the door in a movable manner in at least one surface extension of the door. | 01-15-2009 |
20100000510 | Industrial baking oven - A baking oven has an oven housing, an oven door which is connected to the oven housing with a hinge at one side, and cooperating sealing elements on the door and in the area of the door opening of the oven housing. The sealing elements include a flexible seal and a seal-contact surface. The sealing elements situated in the vicinity of the upper edge of the door and those being situated in the vicinity of the lower edge of the door having different designs. The sealing elements provided on the door near the upper and lower door edges are releasably attached to the door, so they are interchangeable to improve the ease of installing the door alternatively with a right hinge or a left hinge. | 01-07-2010 |
20110146654 | LIMITED LOAD HINGE FOR FREESTANDING APPLIANCE - A home appliance includes an oven and a door positioned at the front of the oven. A hinge assembly secured to the door is configured to move the door about an axis relative to the front of the oven. The hinge assembly includes a shear pin and a spring configured to exert a shear force. The shear force exerted by the helical spring increases as the door is moved about the first axis, and the shear pin is configured to fracture when the door is moved to a predetermined position about the axis. | 06-23-2011 |
20110146655 | HYDRAULIC HINGE FOR FREESTANDING APPLIANCE - A home appliance including an oven and a door positioned at the front of the oven that is configured to rotate about an axis. A fluid housing is coupled to the door and has a cylinder housing with a rod extending therefrom. A relief valve is fluidly coupled to the cylinder housing and is configured to release fluid from the cylinder housing when fluid pressure in the cylinder housing exceeds a predefined threshold. The fluid pressure in the cylinder housing exceeds the predefined threshold when the door is moved to a predetermined position about the axis. | 06-23-2011 |
20130000626 | OVEN DOOR WITH A PLASTIC DOOR COLUMN AND A METHOD FOR ASSEMBLING SAID PLASTIC DOOR COLUMN - The present invention relates to an oven door with at least one elongated plastic door column and at least one corresponding door hinge. The door hinge includes an elongated door part and an oven part. The plastic door column includes an elongated channel for receiving the door part. The channel extends from one end of the plastic door column parallel to the longitudinal axis of said plastic door column. The door part is detachably mountable within the channel. A leaf spring for clamping the door part is durably fixed within the channel. A section of the leaf spring is complementary with a corresponding section of the door part. Further, the present invention relates to a corresponding plastic door column and a method for assembling said plastic door column. | 01-03-2013 |
20130319394 | OVEN HINGE DAMPER COOLING SYSTEM - An oven includes an oven cavity, an oven door providing access to the oven cavity, and a dampening hinge member pivotably coupling the oven door to the oven. A channel encloses the dampening hinge member and provides a flow of air to the dampening hinge member. | 12-05-2013 |
20150075512 | HOME COOKING APPLIANCE WITH A SIDE SWING OVEN DOOR HAVING A FRICTION HINGE - A home cooking appliance with a side swing door is provided. The home cooking appliance includes a housing having a cooking cavity, and a side swing door movable about at least one hinge between a closed position and an open position to provide access to the cooking cavity. The at least one hinge includes a friction hinge configured to impede rotational motion of the side swing door. | 03-19-2015 |
20150107574 | SLOW OPEN AND/OR SLOW CLOSE HINGE ASSEMBLY AND HINGE SYSTEM - A damped hinge assembly includes a hinge arm adapted to be connected to an associated appliance body. A channel is pivotally connected to the hinge arm and is adapted to be connected to an associated appliance door. A damper is operatively connected between the channel and the hinge arm. The damper includes a body defining a bore and a piston slidably received in the bore. A rod is connected to the piston and projects outward from the bore. A damper fluid is contained in the bore and acts on the piston to dampen sliding movement of the piston in at least one direction in the bore. A spring is located in the bore and acts on the piston to bias the piston toward one end of the bore. An oven or other appliance includes at least one damped hinge assembly. The appliance can include two damped hinge assemblies, each with or without the spring, arranged such that one hinge assembly provides damping primarily during opening of the appliance door and the other hinge assembly provides damping primarily during closing of the appliance door. | 04-23-2015 |
20150128927 | OVEN APPLIANCE AND A HINGE ASSEMBLY FOR THE SAME - An oven appliance is provided. The oven appliance includes a door and a hinge assembly for rotatably mounting the door to a cabinet. The hinge assembly includes features for adjusting a position of the door. At least one of a vertical position and a lateral position of the door can be adjusted with the hinge assembly. | 05-14-2015 |
