| 20100018517 | LOCKING DEVICE OF AN OVEN GRILL - The present invention relates to a locking device of an oven grill. When the oven grill is being inserted into the notch of an oven, the inverted V-shaped latch on the locking sheet leans against a bending portion of the V-shaped notch of the oven due to the pulling force exerted by the spring mechanism so as to prevent the oven grill from sliding outwards to lock the oven grill. When the oven grill is to be taken out, put one hand at the front end of the oven and use fingers to lift up the S-shaped tie bar. Then, the rear end of the S-shaped tie bar moves down so as to press down the arc press plate as well as the inverted V-shaped latch such that the locking sheet gets rid of the V-shaped notch under the pulling force exerted by the spring mechanism and, in turn, the locking at two sides are removed simultaneously, thus the oven grill can be taken out evenly and smoothly using one hand. | 01-28-2010 |
| 20120006315 | SUPPORT FOR EXTRACTABLE BAKING TRAYS AND/OR BAKING GRIDS - Support for extractable baking trays and/or baking grids to be arranged in an oven cavity of a baking oven, comprising pairs of opposed longish guiding means, which are disposed one above the other and extend along side walls of the oven cavity, and slide elements comprising receiving means for receiving a baking tray and/or a baking grid and being slidingly arranged at the guiding means, wherein stopper means are provided in such a manner, that the extraction sliding movement of the slide elements along the guiding means is stopped before the slide elements project beyond the oven cavity. | 01-12-2012 |

The oven includes a support for supporting a food product in a cooking chamber of the oven, which utilizes impingement of hot air and microwave energy. The support includes a metal plate having a surface for receiving a food product thereon and at least one aperture located at an outer periphery of the metal plate adjacent the surface. The aperture permits heated air to flow therethrough as the heated air flows in a return path from the cooking chamber. The aperture also limits the reflection of microwave energy within the cooking chamber. | 06-07-2012 |

| 20110240005 | Thermally Actuated Turntable for Conventional/Convection Cooking Ovens - The present invention is a thermally actuated turntable suitable for conventional and convection cooking ovens, which posses uneven temperature/cooking characteristics. By means of coupling dissimilar materials, each having a wide variance in their respective coefficients of thermal expansion, the relative linear expansion of these materials caused by the ambient heat found in the cooking chamber of an oven can be utilized in such a way as to create a thermo-linear motor and thus produce relatively small linear displacements of the actuator with relatively high force capabilities. This linear displacement can then be magnified by means of the mechanical advantage of levers to produce sufficient linear displacement of a rack and pinion gear set which is capable of producing multiple rotations of an attached platter during a typical short duration cooking cycle. This slow speed rotational motion is very advantageous for cooking short duration food items. | 10-06-2011 |
