Definitions

  • the present invention refers to an improved kind of oven for cooking food, preferably intended for home use, comprising a laterally opening door for gaining access into and closing the cooking cavity of such oven.
  • a locking device for a door of a domestic appliance especially of a baking oven, consisting of a bar which is pressed by spring forces into a locking position within a bar housing at the door or at the housing of the baking oven which bar interacts with a latching element at the housing or at the door in a latching manner, wherein the bar comprises a V-formed profile with asymmetrically differently inclined surfaces for the latching element.
  • the actual problem addressed and solved by the present invention concerns the possibility for the oven door to sink relative to, or either prove difficult to Initially move Into a perfectly lined-up, well-centered relationship with the aperture of the cooking cavity, which it Is intended to close.
  • the door is assembled in such manner as to cause it to be poorly centered, in the sense that it turns out to be slightly inclined on the horizontal plane; this would of course give rise to the practical drawback deriving from the fact that the matching parts forming the door lock, i.e. the door locking parts or members, which are due to come into a perfect mutual alignment between the side edge of the door and the corresponding side edge of the cooking cavity of the oven, turn eventually out as being out of alignment relative to each other and this gives rise to clear difficulties when trying to close the door, or even makes it plainly impossible for the same door to be closed at all.
  • the matching parts forming the door lock i.e. the door locking parts or members
  • German utility model no. DE 20 2004 003 995 U1 is a solution aimed at ensuring the centered condition of a laterally hinged oven door by means of one or more appropriately shaped supports provided along the lower edge of the access aperture into the cooking cavity.
  • a food cooking oven according to the present invention comprises a cooking cavity 1 capable of being closed by a door 2 that is hinged on an upright side edge (not shown) thereof, and
  • the above-cited engagement or latching device 4 comprises a fixed member 6 that is firmly joined to said side edge 5 of the door, and a latch 7 that is capable of elastically sliding in a housing or accommodation provided within said fixed member 6 in a manner largely known as such in the art.
  • Said latch 7 can take, i.e. move into a plurality of different positions, among which a first position, as illustrated in Figure 2B , in which said latch is substantially introduced in said fixed member 6, and a second position, as illustrated in Figure 2C , in which said latch is substantially protruding with an outer portion thereof, which shall be illustrated and described in greater detail further on.
  • said recessed locking or catching device comprises in turn an outer portion and an inner portion; the outer portion has a bottom or lower surface 8, which is accessible from outside, and which is so positioned as to feature an outer edge 9 and an inner side 10 opposite thereto, wherein said surface has a substantially triangular shape and is inclined on the horizontal plane with a descending slope from said inner side 10 towards said outer edge 9 opposite thereto; the area above said inclined surface 8 is void, since it is due to accommodate the latch 7 as it fits thereinto.
  • the latch 7 itself may be provided in a variety of different shapes. As shown in Figures 2 , 2B and 2C , however, it is advantageously in the shape of a wedge, with an upright corner edge 12 dividing two opposite upright planar sides 13 and 14 from each other.
  • the inward facing side 13 is so oriented as to be able to couple in an almost parallel manner with said planar surface 11, so that, as the door is being closed, it is pressed by said surface with a substantially orthogonal force, thereby facilitating its being inserted in the fixed member 6.
  • the lower side 15 of said latch 7 is a planar one and is arranged at such height, relative to said inclined bottom surface 8, as to cause said lower side 15 of the latch 7 to come into interference with said inclined bottom surface 8 when the door is being closed; as a reaction thereto, the entire latch is urged upwards and, as a result, such reaction is passed on to the fixed member 6 and, from the latter, to the whole door, thereby raising it to the desired extent, i.e. by the desired amount.
  • the present invention is based on the fact that, with the above-described configuration, the lower extremities of an inner recess 20 and an upright corner edge 22 are positioned at the same height as the highest inner point 16 of said inclined surface 8.
  • the inner portion of said locking or catching device has an outwardly opening recess 20 that is sized and positioned so that, when the door is brought into its fully closed position, said latch is able to correctly fit into it and engage it in a stable and firm manner.
  • the outward facing upright side 14 of said latch is in turn oriented so that, when inserted in said recess 20, it couples up in an adequately angled manner with the side 21 of the same recess that is facing the front side of the oven, as this is clearly illustrated in Figure 6C ; it should in fact be suitably reminded that the force needed for the door to be released and pulled open most obviously depends not only on the force of reaction of the spring 31, but also on the extent of the angle "n" comprised between the tangent line "a” meeting said outward facing side 14 and the straight line "b” extending orthogonally to the radial straight line "r” between the hinging axis of the same door and the point of contact of said sides 14 and 21 with each other.
  • This improvement has the purpose of ensuring that - once the latch is fully inserted in said recess 20 - the same latch is firmly and stably retained therein and, at the same time, the possibility is given for it to be released and removed from said recess by normally pulling the door, so as to enable the latter to be opened.
  • the orientation of said inner side 21 of the recess 20 and the outward facing side 14 of the latch shall of course be such as to allow for a force to be exerted in a direction that will cause the latch to be inserted in the fixed member 6 by simply pulling the door into opening.
