Definitions

  • the present invention relates to shelves or racks and in particular but not solely to shelves or racks for supporting trays and pans within cooking ovens.
  • Ovens are usually provided with an oven cavity liner that has runners formed within the side walls which support racks at different heights. Only a limited number of runners are formed within the oven cavity liner therefore limiting the position of racks within the oven chamber. Typically around five rack positions are provided for.
  • the invention consists in a shelf or tack for an enclosure which includes at least one pair of support means on opposite side walls of said enclosure for supporting said shelf or rack, said shelf or rack having:
  • the invention consists in a shelf or rack for an oven which includes at least one pair of support means on opposite side walls of said oven for supporting said shelf or rack, said shelf or rack having:
  • the invention consists an oven having a rack or shelf, said oven including at least one pair of support means on opposite side walls of said oven for supporting said shelf or rack, said shelf or rack having:
  • the shelf system of the present invention comprises a tray or wire shelf or rack having double running surfaces on two opposing sides, which in use provide support for the shelf on the runners provided within an oven cavity.
  • the shelf may be placed within an oven and slid over the runners formed on opposite side walls of the surface liner of the oven.
  • the top most surface of the shelf can be supported by a runner on either side of the oven, or alternatively, the bottom most running surface can be supported by a runner on either side of the oven. Therefore the shelf may be placed in the oven where the runner is between the double running surfaces, or the double running surfaces may allow for the placement of the shelf between two runners, Therefore the number of shelf positions within the oven cavity may be up to double that provided in conventional ovens.
  • the shelf system of the present invention also provides a finer adjustment for positioning the shelf within an oven.
  • an oven liner 1 is provided within the cavity of an oven.
  • This liner is usually a steel cavity, but may be made from other materials.
  • a series of support means 2 are located on the vertical sides of the oven liner 1.
  • the support means are protruding runners 2 in the preferred form of the present invention, but may be solid elongate members in lesser preferred forms.
  • the pairs of runners 2 line up horizontally across the oven cavity liner 1 to provide a level surface for a shelf or rack 3.
  • the shelf or rack 3 has a main body 3a and upper 4 and a lower 5 engagement members that in the preferred form of the present invention are elongate running surfaces.
  • the spacing between of the runners 2 and the spacing between the upper 4 and lower 5 running surfaces must be of a corresponding space, or at least the spacing between each runner must be of a similar width to (but not necessarily equal to) the width of the double running surface of the shelf.
  • supports may be provided within an enclosure where a shelf or rack with double running surfaces can, in use, be supported within the enclosure.
  • the shelf of the present invention may be placed in a number of positions within an oven.
  • the upper running surface 4 of the shelf 3 sits on the upper level 6 of the runner 2.
  • the topmost shelf is placed in such a position.
  • the restricting means are themselves upward tilts 4, 7 of the running surfaces 5,6.
  • the upward tilt 7 of the lower running surface 5 catches on the node 8 in the runner 2.
  • the lower running surface 5 sits on the upper level 11 of the lower 10 of the two runners.
  • the upward slope 12 of the upper running surface 4 catches on the node 13 in the upper runner 9 when the shelf 3 has reached its full extension, thus preventing the shelf from being fully removed from the oven.
  • each runner angles back from the node thereby reducing the width of the runner.
  • the angle of the runner in front of the node corresponds to the angle of the upward slope on both running surfaces of the shelf, such that the shelf can be inserted or removed from the oven cavity by lifting the front of the shelf upwards.
  • the shelf 3 may be a wire rack configuration or be of a tray configuration. In either of these forms the upper running surface is connected to the lower running surface by way of an angular connector 14. This connector 14 also connects the double running surface to the main body 3a of the shelf.
  • the angular connector is made of wire, but may be made of a sheet type or other appropriate material.
  • the shelf of the present invention provides for finer shelf adjustment to allow for the positioning of food at an optimum cooking height within the oven cavity. In the past achieving optimal cooking heights has been difficult when using conventional oven cavities with formed runners.
  • the rack system of the present invention has two safety features. Firstly, the system has a stopping mechanism to prevent the shelf from being fully withdrawn, and secondly it has an anti-tilt mechanism to prevent the shelf from tipping. To achieve these safety foatures there is a requirement that the spacing of the runner forms and the spacing of the running surfaces on the shelf correspond and the shelf is provided with an upward tilt in the rear section of the shelf.
