Description

Removable Door Liner

FIELD

[0001] The present invention is related to a removable liner and door for use in cooking devices, and method of cleaning thereof.

BACKGROUND

[0002] Owners of cooking devices, such as range cookers, face many challenges due to the weight of the components of the cooker. The doors of these cookers are designed to create insulation between the hot oven cavity and the oven door.

[0003] One problem associated with this arrangement is that the inner surface of the doors typically become encrusted with food residues, such as fats, oils and other foodstuffs, which are deposited on the surface during cooking. This problem is amplified by the heat of the oven, which acts to bake on the deposited food residue, making it very difficult to remove and creating a visible mess.

[0004] Cooking devices such as range cookers are designed for continuous, high-temperature cooking, often being left on for long periods. This high and constant heat further exacerbates the problem of baking the food residue to the inner surface of the door.

[0005] Unclean inner surfaces can lead to several problems, such as lower efficiency of the cooker due to inefficient heat distribution, increased fire risk and unwanted odour present in food that has been cooked in the cooker.

[0006] Cleaning the door liners is possible, but difficult. Cleaning requires either scrubbing of the inner surface in position, or removal of the door, which can be extremely heavy. Cleaning in position may require the user to remain in a bent-over or kneeling position for substantial periods of time, while removing the door may put the user in danger of injury, if they are not sufficiently strong enough, or have suitable lifting technique. Furthermore, the cleaning of the inner surface often requires the use of rough cleaning pads, such as abrasive scouring pads, which may leave the surface of the door scratched.

SUMMARY

[0007] According to the present invention, there is provided an apparatus and method as set forth in the appended claims. Other features of the invention will be apparent from the dependent claims, and the description which follows.

[0008] According to an aspect of the invention, there is provided a door for a cooking device comprising a body section, and a removable liner removably coupled to the body section, wherein the removable liner comprises a, substantially planar cover section, and wherein, when the removable liner is coupled to the body section, the cover section is in contact with the body section.

[0009] By providing a door with a removable liner, the liner may be more easily cleaned by a user, without the need for lifting of the whole door, or the need for excessive bending or crouching for prolonged periods.

[0010] The body section may comprise one or more hinge sections to allow for connection to the cooking device, such that the door may be moved between a closed position and an open position.

[0011] The contact between the cover section and the body section may be contact across a majority of a major face of the cover section and a major face of the body section, preferably leaving substantially no opening or cavity between the cover section and the body section.

[0012] The removable liner may comprise one or more lips extending from the cover section, the one or more lips being configured to extend into a cavity of a cooking device when the door is in a closed position. The lips of the removable liner ensure that only the removable liner is in contact with the inside environment of the cooker. This advantageously reduces or stops completely the build-up of dirt and residue from inside the cooker on any other part of the cooker door, thereby ensuring the removable liner is the only internal part of the cooker door that needs to be cleaned.

[0013] The one or more lips may extend from one or more edges of the cover section of the removable liner.

[0014] The one or more lips may be perpendicular to a major plane of the removable liner.

[0015] The one or more lips may be present on opposite edges of the cover section of the removable liner.

[0016] The removable liner may be rectangular. When the removable liner is rectangular, the one or more lips may be present on opposite longest edges of the cover section of the removable liner.

[0017] The one or more lips may be present on a single edge of the cover section of the removable liner.

[0018] The one or more lips may be present on at least two edges of the cover section of the removable liner.

[0019] The one or more lips may be present on two edges of the cover section of the removable liner.

[0020] The one or more lips may extend along the full length of the one or more edges of the cover section of the removable liner.

[0021] The one or more lips may be widest at a centre point, and may gradually decrease in width towards each of the ends of the lip.

[0022] The door may be configured such that when the door is in the closed position, only a first face and the one or more lips of the removable liner are exposed to a cavity of the cooking device. This advantageously ensures that any dirt or residue from inside the cavity of the cooking device is captured on a single face and lips of the removable liner; therefore, reducing the area that is needed to be cleaned.

[0023] The removable liner may comprise one or more attachment elements.

[0024] The one or more attachment elements may extend from the removable liner in a direction substantially opposite to the direction of extension of the one or more lip. The one or more attachment elements may allow for attachment of the removable liner to the body section.

[0025] The one or more attachment elements may extend from one or more edges of the removable liner. The one or more lips may extend from a different one or more edges of the removable liner.

[0026] Each of the one or more attachment elements may be hook-type attachment elements. Each of the one or more attachment elements may be receivable in one or more corresponding apertures in the first liner.

[0027] The door may comprise a seal around a part of the body section, such that when the door is in the closed position, the inner environment of the oven cavity is isolated from the outer environment.

[0028] The seal may be a rope seal.

[0029] According to a second aspect of the invention, there is provided a cooking device comprising one or more of the doors as described above.

[0030] By ensuring that the removable liner is the only component of the door in contact with the internal environment of the cooking device, the general wear and tear of the cooking device, due to cooking residue and dirt, is reduced, thus increasing the lifetime of the cooking device, and saving the user money.

[0031] According to a third aspect of the invention, there is provided a removable door liner for a door of a cooking device, wherein the removable liner comprises a substantially planar cover section adapted, in use to be in contact with the door.

[0032] The removable liner according to the third aspect of the invention may comprise one or more lips extending from the cover section, the one or more lips being configured to extend into a cavity of a cooking device when the door is in a closed position.

[0033] The one or more lips of the removable liner may extend from one or more edges of the cover section of the removable liner.

[0034] The one or more lips of the removable liner may extend from one or more edges of the cover section of the removable liner.

[0035] The one or more lips of the removable liner may be perpendicular to a major plane of the removable liner.

[0036] The one or more lips of the removable liner may be present on opposite edges of the cover section of the removable liner.

[0037] The removable liner may be rectangular, and when the removable liner is rectangular, the one or more lips may be present on opposite longest edges of the cover section of the removable liner.

[0038] The one or more lips of the removable liner may be present on a single edge of the cover section of the removable liner.

[0039] The one or more lips of the removable liner may be present on at least two edges of the cover section of the removable liner.

[0040] The one or more lips of the removable liner may be present on two edges of the cover section of the removable liner.

[0041] The one or more lips of the removable liner may extend along the full length of the one or more edges of the cover section of the removable liner.

[0042] The one or more lips of the removable liner may be widest at a centre point, and may gradually decrease in width towards each of the ends of the lip.

[0043] The removable liner may comprise one or more attachment elements.

[0044] The one or more attachment elements of the removable liner may extend from the removable liner in a direction substantially opposite to the direction of extension of the one or more lip. The one or more attachment elements of the removable liner according to the second example of the invention may allow for attachment of the removable liner to a door of a cooking device.

[0045] The one or more attachment elements of the removable extend from one or more edges of the removable liner. The one or more lips of the removable liner according to the second example of the invention may extend from a different one or more edges of the removable liner.

[0046] The one or more attachment elements of the removable liner may be hook-type attachment elements.

[0047] The removable liner may therefore be cleaned when separated from the door and cooking device. The removable liner may also be replaced completely with a new removable liner, thus providing a more cost-effective way of maintaining the condition of the cooking device, without having to replace the door or cooking device entirely.

[0048] According to a fourth aspect of the invention, there is provided a method of cleaning a door for a cooking device, comprising the steps of removing a removable liner from a body section of the door, when the door is in the open position, cleaning the removable liner; and attaching the clean removable liner to the body section, when the door is in the open position.

[0049] The above invention provides a door liner, and a door for a cooking device, and a method of cleaning a door, that may allow for easier cleaning of the door liner, by a user. The removable liner allows the part of the door that is in contact with the internal environment of the cooking device to be cleaned away from the cooking device, e.g. at a sink or outside. This not only reduces the stress on a user, i.e. bending or kneeling when cleaning a door liner in situ, but also allows the user to remove the dirty door liner to a cleaning area, thus reducing the risk of getting dirt or residue on or around the rest of the cooking device, during cleaning.

[0050] All of the features described herein may be combined with any of the above aspects, in any combination.

[0051] Although a few preferred embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be appreciated by those skilled in the art that various changes and modifications might be made without departing from the scope of the invention, as defined in the appended claims.
