Ill f5 avvy C( Laz. fujelze5lolljyrosz v`L. C. LOTZ ETAL 'BROILER DRAWER DOOR Filed July 7. 1961 July 9, 1963 United States Patent Office 3,097,029 Patented July 9, 1963 3,097,029 BROILER DRAWER DOOR Larry C. Lotz and Eugene Stoligrosz, Hamilton, Ohio, assignors to Whirlpool Corporation, a corporation of Delaware Filed July 7, 1961, Ser. No. 122,576 Claims. (Cl. S12- 303) This invention relates to an apparatus including a comI partment defining means having a forwardly extending access opening, a movable door and latch means for re- -taining the door in open or closed position. The invention particularly relates to a movable broiler drawer in a household cooking range or the like including a door for this drawer and latch means for retaining the door either in closed or in open position.
In the ordinary kitchen range, whether heated with gas or electricity, there is ordinarily provided a broiler section including a drawer that can be pulled forwardly to extend from the range or can be pushed rearwardly into normal broiling position. This drawer customarily carries on its forward end a door which is movable from an upwardly extending, normally closed position to a forward extending, bottom open position, Latch means are provided for retaining the door in these two positions.
One of the features of this invention is to provide an improved latch means for the movable door normally closing the forward ex-tending access opening across a compartment.
A specific feature of the invention is to provide latch means for the door of a forwardly and rearwardly movable broiler drawer of a household range.
Other features and advantages of the invention will be apparent from the following description of one embodiment thereof taken in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. Of the drawings:
FIGURE 1 is a fragmentary side elevational view partially in section of the forward end of a broiler drawer and a movable door therefor in combination with one embodiment of the latch means of this invention.
FIGURE 2 is a view similar to FIGURE 1 but with the drawer in forwardly extending position and with the door in lowered open position.
FIGURE 3 is a fragmentary section taken substantially along line 3 3 of FIGURE l and turned 90.
FIGURE 4 is an elevational view of the wire latch and associated structure taken substantially yalong line 4--4 of FIGURE l.
In the embodiment illustrated in the drawings only a portion yof the range is illustrated. This range includes a broiler drawer 11 of the customary type having a pair of sides 12 of which only one is illustrated. Each of these sides on its forward edge is provided with a catch member 13 extending forwardly beyond the edge of the drawer side 12 and attached thereto as by spot welding.
The forwardly projecting portion of the catch member 13 is provided with a top catch receiving passage 14 and a bottom catch receiving passage 15.
The bottom catch receiving passage 15 is provided with a downwardly and rearwardly sloped top portion 16, then a substantially vertical downwardly sloped section 17 and at the bottom of this a forwardly and downwardly sloped section 18. At the bottom of this section 18 there is provided a vertically downwardly extending catch section 19 while immediately above this section 19 is a stop portion 20 that is upwardly concave. As can be seen from FIGURES 1 and 2, the passage sections 16-20 define a serpentine path.
The top passage 14 includes an inwardly recessed section 21 with a relatively wide mouth 22 opening forwardly at the bottom of this section 21. There is a downwardly extending catch section 23 similar to the catch section 19 in the bottom passage 15. The top passage 14 is shallower in a vertical direction than is the bottom passage 15.
A door 24 is provided that is movable between closed position as shown in FIGURE l and open position as shown in FIGURE 2. This door is mounted on the opposite sides of the drawer 11 by means of a wire catch member 25 having upper 26 and lower 27 ends flattened and attached to the inner surface 28 of the door 24 as by spot welding. The catch member is bent to provide top 29 and bottom 30 catch means. These catch means are formed by bent portions in the wire which include a normally vertical section 31 and normally upper 32 and lower 33' legs extending rearwardly from the door 24 when the door is in closed position as shown in FIG- URE 1. The catch means 29` and 30 are at the areas of intersection of the vertical section 3-1 and upper and lower normally horizontal sections 32 and 33 of the catch member.
When the door is in its closed position, as shown in FIGURE l, the top catch means 29 is heldl in the catch section 23 of the upper passage 14 while the bottom catch means 30 is similarly held in the bottom catch section of the bottom passage 15. Because the catch sections 19 and 23 closely embrace the catch means 29 and 3l) formed of portions of the wire 25, the drawer can be propelled forwardly and rearwardly by force applied to the door 24. Then when the door is opened it is merely necessary to lift the door 24 until the topl catch means 29 is lifted completely out of the catch section 23 and the door can then be turned to open position as `shown in FIGURE 2 about the bottom catch means 30 acting as a hinge. In lifting the door the stop section 20 in the bottom passage 15 serves to prevent accidental removal of the door from the drawer. The distance between this stop section 20 and the catch section 19 is greater than the distance required to lift the top catch means 29 out of the catch vsection 23 of the passage 14.
Having described our invention as related to the embodiment shown in the accompanying drawings, it is our intention that the invention be not limited by any of the details of description, unless otherwise speciiied, but rather be construed broadly within its spirit and scope as set out in the accompanying claims.
We claim:
