Definitions

  • the present invention relates to an oven for cooking food products.
  • An oven for cooking food products comprising a cooking compartment and a door
  • the door comprises two or more plates of glass placed adjacent and parallel to each other so as to create at least an air space for the passage of a fluid current.
  • At least the glass of the door which is nearest the cooking compartment (considering the door in the closed configuration) is removable to permit cleaning and maintenance operations.
  • such ovens comprise removable means, which, once applied to the door contribute to holding the glass in place.
  • the removable means In order to take out the glass, the removable means must necessarily be removed.
  • a drawback of this solution is that the removable means, when removed, are habitually put down in proximity to the oven, but there is the risk of them falling, getting lost or stepped on and broken, etc...
  • such removable means are specific components that are added to the door with the sole specific function of enabling or preventing removal of the glass.
  • Document EP2386800A1 relates to a door for a cooking oven comprising two door columns on the left hand side and on the right hand side, an outer door panel at the outer sides of the columns, an inner door panel at the inner sides of the columns and a cover frame for covering the top sides of the door columns and of the inner door panel.
  • Document EP2400226A1 relates to a door for a cooking oven composed of detachable plates and having a support element which is provided with an aperture in which the inner plate of the door is fitted and which is arranged on an upper profile.
  • Document DE 10 2010 041 027 discloses further. State of the art relevant to the invention.
  • the technical task at the basis of the present invention is to propose an oven for cooking foods which overcomes the above-mentioned drawbacks of the prior art.
  • the reference number 1 indicates an oven for cooking food products.
  • a cooking oven is typically an electrical household appliance and thus intended for use in a domestic environment. It falls into the category of brown goods.
  • the oven 1 comprises a cooking compartment 2 and a door 3 for accessing the cooking compartment 2.
  • the door 3 is able to move between an open configuration allowing access to the cooking compartment 2 by a user (for example, to introduce and remove food) and a closed configuration (in which case the door 3 is advantageously set in a vertical position). In the closed configuration, the door 3 advantageously contributes to delimiting the cooking compartment 2.
  • the door 3 comprises:
  • the door 3 extends in thickness along a direction connecting the first and the second plate 31,32.
  • the door 3 could comprise at least a third plate interposed between the first and second plates 31,32.
  • the first and second plates 31,32 (and advantageously the third plate as well) are reciprocally side by side; in particular they are parallel.
  • the second plate 32 defines an interface between the door 3 and the outside of the oven 1.
  • the first plate 31 separates part of the door 3 from the cooking compartment 2.
  • the first and second plates 31, 32 comprise at least one portion which can enable a user to see through them, at least in a predetermined configuration of the oven 1 (for example, when the door 3 is in the closed configuration and a light is on inside the cooking compartment 2).
  • the third plate comprises at least a portion enabling a user to see through it (in at least a specific configuration of the oven).
  • the first plate 31, second plate 32 and third plate are made of transparent material, typically glass.
  • At least one air space 30 is interposed between the first and second plates 32.
  • the first plate 31 is nearer the cooking compartment 2 compared with the second plate 32.
  • the cooking oven 1 comprises a profile 4 which: has a main direction of extension 400 along a perimeter edge of the first plate 31 and comprises a projection 40 for holding the first plate 31.
  • the profile 4 may adopt a first position (see figure 2 ) and a second position (see figure 3 ).
  • the holding projection 40 contributes to holding the first plate 31 on the remaining parts of the door 3.
  • said projection 40 being disengaeable from the first plate 31 and allowing the first plate 31 to be removed from the door 3 without the need for further movements of the profile 4.
  • the profile 4 is shifted relative to the first position.
  • the profile 4 is coupled to remaining parts of the door 3 in both the first and second positions.
  • the oven 1 thus comprises means 5 for coupling the profile 4 to remaining parts of the door 3.
  • Such coupling means 5 thus enable the profile 4 to be coupled to remaining parts of the door 3 in both the first and second positions.
  • the profile 4 is a single body.
  • the coupling means 5 are operative in both the first and second positions.
  • the coupling means 5 can also be at least partly integrated into said profile 4.
  • the coupling means 5 can be operative (see, for example, the embodiment of figures 7 and 8 ) or inoperative (see, for example, the embodiment of figures 4-6 ).
  • the door 3 comprises a first and a second tubular member 33, 34.
  • first and second tubular members 33, 34 are substantially parallel. When the door 3 is in the closed configuration, the first and second tubular members 33, 34 are substantially vertical. Conveniently, the first and second tubular members 33, 34 extend, respectively, along a first and a second side 35, 36 of the door 3 of the oven. The first and second sides 35,36 are reciprocally opposite; said profile 4, at least in the first position, is preferably superposed on a first end of the first tubular member 33 and a first end of the second tubular member 34. Conveniently, the profile 4, at least in the first position, occludes the first end of the first tubular member 33 and the first end of the second tubular member 34.
  • the profile 4 comprises at least one opening 44 for the flow of a gaseous fluid into or out of said air space 30.
  • the gaseous fluid contributes to thermally instaling the second plate 32 from the cooking compartment 2. For example, this reduces the risk of a user getting burned by resting against the second plate while the oven is on.
  • the profile 4 is a bracket which is directly visible by a user at least in the open configuration of the door 3.
  • the profile 4 is an upper profile of the door 3.
  • the profile 4 conveniently comprises a cover 41.
  • the cover 41 covers at least remaining parts of the door 3 (for example, the first plate 31 or the air space 30).
  • the profile 4 comprises a first and a second grip area situated at two opposite ends of the profile 4 along the main direction of extension 400.
  • the first grip area comprises a first ledge; the first ledge is integrated into a first wall 71 of the profile 4, which borders on and extends transversely (preferably at right angles) to said cover 41 and said projection 40.
  • the second grip area comprises a second ledge and is integrated into a second wall 72 of the profile 4; the second wall 72 borders on and extends transversely (preferably at right angles) to said cover 41 and said projection 40.
  • the profile 4 can comprise at least one protrusion 9 intended to come up against the third plate and prevent it from coming near the first plate 31.
  • said at least one protrusion 9 is inserted in a space interposed between the third and the first plate.
  • the second plate 32 is connected to the first and second tubular members 33, 34 by means of a double-sided adhesive.
  • the door 3 rotates around a horizontal axis in order to pass from the closed configuration to the open one and vice versa.
  • the hinges are fixed to the first and second tubular members 33,34 at an end opposite to the one topped by the profile 4.
  • the coupling means 5 are at least partly inside the first and/or second tubular members 33,34.
  • the door 3 comprises means which hold the first plate 31, preventing movements along a first direction which:
  • the first direction is parallel to the first plate 31.
  • the means holding the first plate 31 and preventing movement along the first direction comprise a first and second low relief fashioned, respectively, on the first and second tubular members 33, 34 and in which the first plate 31 is inserted.
  • the oven 1 comprises lower support means 6 for supporting the first plate 31.
  • Such means 6 comprise at least one tooth 60 which helps to prevent a lower portion of the first plate 31 from moving away from a lower portion of the first and second tubular members 33, 34.
  • the coupling means 5 comprise elastic means 50 which recall the profile 4 from the second to the first position.
  • the elastic means 50 comprise at least a first spring 51 having one end connected to the profile 4 and another end connected to a portion of the door 3, in particular connected to the first tubular member 33.
  • the first spring 51 is housed at least partly inside the first tubular member 33. In the first position of the profile 4, 90% or more of the volume of the first spring 51 is housed inside the first tubular member 33. In the second position of the profile 4, the first spring 51 extends outwardly from the first tubular member 33. Preferably, in the second position of the profile 4, the first spring 51 is longer and more tensioned than in the first position of the profile 4.
  • the elastic means 50 comprise a second spring 52.
  • the second spring 52 has a first end connected to the profile 4 and a second end connected to a portion of the door 3 (preferably to the second tubular member 34). What was previously described with reference to the positioning of the first spring 51 relative to the first tubular member 33 can be repeated with reference to the second spring 52 and the second tubular member 34.
  • the first and/or second spring 51, 52 are advantageously coil springs.
  • the first plate 31 is substantially rectangular.
  • the profile 4 also comprises a first and a second appendage 42, 43 which extend from the cover 41.
  • the first and second appendages 42, 43 are side appendages.
  • the first appendage 42 and the second appendage 43 extend, respectively, from a first and a second end section of the cover 41.
  • the first and second sections occupy the two ends of the cover for a tenth of the length of the cover 41 along the direction 400.
  • the cover 41 entirely occupies a whole first side of the perimeter of the first plate 31.
  • the first and the second appendages 42, 43 extend transversely to the cover 41.
  • the first and second appendages 42, 43 extend along two opposite sides of the perimeter of the first plate 31.
  • the coupling means 5 comprise a first protrusion 53, and a second protrusion and a first, a second, a third and a fourth hole 55,56,57,58.
  • the first protrusion 53 and the second protrusion are inserted, respectively, in the first and second holes 55,56 and in the second position they are inserted, respectively, in the third and fourth holes 57,58; the first protrusion 53 and the group formed by the first and third holes 55, 57 are fashioned so that one is on the first appendage 42 and one on the first tubular member 33.
  • the second protrusion and the group formed by the second and fourth holes 56, 58 are fashioned so that one is on the second appendage 43 and one on the second tubular member 34.
  • the first protrusion 53 extends on the first tubular member, while the first and third holes 55, 57 extend on the first appendage 42.
  • the second protrusion extends on the second tubular member, while the second and fourth holes 56, 58 extend on the second appendage 43.
  • the first and second appendages 42, 43 are elastically deformable to permit the disengagement of the coupling means 5.

  • the present invention further relates to a method for removing the first plate 31 from the door 3.
  • first and second edges 73, 74 respectively, in the closed configuration of the door 3.
  • the method comprises the steps of disengaging the first plate 31 from the holding means 8 located at and acting on the first edge 73 (for example, the disengaging step involves raising the first plate 31).
  • the disengaging step involves moving the first plate 31 along a direction joining (typically at right angles) the first and second edges 73, 74. Such a step is simultaneous with or follows a step of moving the profile 4 away from the holding means 8.
  • the step of disengaging the first plate 31 from the means 8 is normally preceded by a step of transferring the profile 4 from the first to the second position.
  • the step of transferring the profile 4 from the first to the second position includes the following steps:
  • the profile 4 is coupled to remaining parts of the door 3. It thus remains in position without needing to be supported by an operator. This is extremely convenient, as it enables a replacement to be performed by a single operator and moreover prevents the profile 4 from getting lost during removal.
  • the step of disengaging the first plate 31 from the means 8 normally takes place simultaneously with a step of transferring the profile 4 from the first to the second position.
  • the step of transferring the profile 4 from the first to the second position entails overcoming the elastic reaction of the elastic means 50.
  • the method envisages moving the first edge 73 of the first plate from the second plate 32, rotating the first plate 31 on the second edge 74 and then pulling out the first plate 31 by extracting the second edge 74 from the profile 4.
  • the elastic means 50 bring the profile 4 back from the second to the first position.
  • the third plate interposed between the first and the second plate 31, 32 can also be removed.
  • the step of positioning the first plate 31 involves carrying out the above-specified operations for its removal in the opposite direction.
  • the invention enables the oven components to be optimized, while at the same time facilitating maintenance and preventing a maintenance technician from losing, due to distraction, the components serving to secure the glass.
