Abstract
A cooker comprises a muffle (5) which is surrounded by an insulating layer (6). A metal spacer plate (10), which leaves free an air gap (13), is arranged between the insulation layer (6) and each of the cooker side walls (8). <IMAGE>
Description
SPECIFICATION
Muffle insulation in a cooker
The present invention relates to a cooker and
has particular reference to lowering of the
temperature of the cooker side walls in the
region of a muffle.
In cookers, the baking oven is usually protected against heat conduction and outward
heat radiation by a heat-resistant layer which
is a poor conductor of heat and surrounds the
oven muffle at all sides. However, there is a
risk, in the case of longer operation of the
oven at a higher temperature, that the insulation is heated at least partially and thus the
cooker side walls are heated up. This leads to
an additional outward heat radiation by the
cooker and also to the heating-up of neigh
bouring appliances or kitchen cupboards. One
remedy is to make the insulating layer thicker,
but this is possible only to a limited extent
because of the fixed size relationship of bak
ing oven muffle and standardised cooker width.
It would thus be desirable to achieve the greatest possible temperature drop over the
narrowest space between muffle and cooker side wall whilst still using, for example, con -ventional muffle insulation.
According to the present invention there is
provided a cooker comprising a housing, a muffle arranged in the housing, a layer of insu
lating material surrounding the muffle and a
respective spacer plate arranged between the
layer and at least one of the side walls of the
housing to form an air gap therebetween.
The spacer plate preferably comprises an
elongate substantially planar metal plate with
webs bent away, for example perpendicularly,
at the longitudinal edges.
By means of a spacer plate of that kind, a
secure spacing is thus effected between insu
lation layer and side wall and a free air chan
nel is created in which an automatic air circulation can take place, whereby the side wall can be cooled.
The spacer plate can comprise a reflecting
material.
Expediently, the spacer plate is arranged with one face against the insulation layer and supported by the webs against the side wall.
In that case, a respective spacer plate can be arranged over the height of the muffle at both sides of the open end of the muffle.
The width of the spacer plate can be about one quarter to one third of its height.
An embodiment of the present invention will now be more particularly described by way of example with reference to the accompanying drawings, in which:
Figure 1 is a cross-sectional front view of a cooker embodying the invention, showing the muffle of the cooker;
Figure 2 is a side elevation of the cooker with a side wall omitted;
Figure 3 is a side view, to an enlarged scale, of a spacer plate in the cooker; and
Figure 4 is an end elevation of the spacer plate.
Referring now to the drawings, there is shown in Fig. 1 a cooker 1 which includes a cooker plate 2 with a switch panel 3 extending thereunder and a baking oven 4 with a muffle 5. The muffle 5 is surrounded by a temperature-resistant and strongly heat-retarding insulating layer 6.
As is evident from Fig. 2, the muffle 5 is fastened solely to the front wall 7 of the cooker 1 and projects freely from there into the interior space of the cooker. The cooker side walls 8 do not lie directly against the muffle 5 or the insulation layer 6, since the spacing can be irregular due to installation tolerances or deformation of the side walls.
In order to ensure a constant spacing and an additional insulation with greatest possible temperature drop, a respective metal spacer plate 10, which is shown in more detail in
Figs. 3 and 4, is arranged at each of the two sides of the muffle 5.
Each spacer plate 10 comprises a planar plate 11 with a side ratio of about 1:3 to 1:4 and with several webs 12 bent over to extend perpendicularly at its two longitudinal edges.
The webs 12 define the spacing between the layer 6 around the muffle 5 and the cooker side walls 8.
As is evident from Figs. 1 and 2, the spacer plates 10 are arranged at both sides of the open end of the muffle 5 and in that case directly adjoin, at longitudinal edges thereof, the cooker front wall 7. The spacer plates 10 are in that case buiit in with their faces 11 lying against the insulation layer 6 so that the webs 12 point outwardly against the respective cooker side walls 8 and thus bear against the cooker housing.
The spacing defined by the length of the webs 12 between layer 6 and cooker side wall 8 thus results in a free channel, through which an automatic air circulation takes place according to the arrow 13, whereby the side walls 8 are additionally cooled.
If, in addition, the spacer plates 10 of a reflecting material or with a reflecting surface are used, the radiated heat is reflected back to the baking oven side and thus kept away from the cooker side walls, so that a further reduction of temperature can thereby be achieved.
By the described arrangement of additional spacer plates it is thus possible in simple manner to achieve a temperature drop in a narrow space and thereby at the cooker side walls to keep within temperatures fixed by appropriate regulations.
