- the appliance 20 has an appliance front end 110 corresponding to a cavity 140, which is closed by an appliance door 120 via door hinges (not shown).
- the cavity 140 includes appliance ledges 144 positioned on side walls 146 of the cavity 140.
- the appliance door 120 is attached to the appliance 20 via the door hinges.
- the appliance door 120 can be maintained in a fully closed position 150, a fully open position 160, or any intermediate position, relative to the appliance 20, based on the position of the door hinges.
- the appliance ledges 144 are attached to, or intrinsic to, the appliance side walls 146 and provide support for the first rack 60 and the second rack 100.
- the appliance door 120 has an inner door surface 165 that faces inward toward the appliance cavity 140 when the appliance door is in a fully closed position 150.
- the door link 30 has an attachment site 170, for example a round aperture.
- the first connector 50 has an attachment site 180, for example also a round aperture.
- the second connector 70 has an attachment site 190, for example also a round aperture. It is to be appreciated that attachment sites 170, 180, and 190 are not limited to round apertures, but rather each may alternatively and independently be a slot, a gap, a groove, an indentation, or the like.
- the bracket 80 has a first attachment site 200, for example a round aperture, and a second attachment site 210, for example an elongated aperture.
- first attachment site 200 is not limited to a round aperture, but alternatively may be a slot, a gap, a groove, an indentation, or the like.
- second attachment site 210 is not limited to an elongated aperture, but may correspond to an elongated slot, an elongated gap, an elongated groove, an elongated indentation, or the like.
- the second attachment site 210 has a front end 212 and a back end 214, the front end 212 and back end 214 being located proximal and distal, respectively, to appliance front end 110.
- front end 212 is closer to appliance front end 110 than is any part of first attachment site 200.
- first coupler link 40 has a first end 220 and a second end 230.
- second coupler link 90 has a first end 240 and a second end 250.
- First rack 60 has a front end 260.
- Second rack 100 has a front end 270.
- the door link 30 is attached to the appliance door 120, for example on inner door surface 165.
- the first coupler link 40 is attached, for example detachably, to the door link 30, for example by placing the first end 220 of the first coupler link 40 through the attachment site 170 of the door link 30.
- the first coupler link 40 is also connected, for example detachably, to the first rack 60.
- the connection can be made, for example, by attaching, for example detachably, the second end 230 of the first coupler link 40 to the first connector 50, for example by placing the second end 230 of the first coupler link through the attachment site 190 of the first connector 50.
- the second coupler link 90 is connected, for example detachably, to the first rack 60.
- the connection can be made, for example, by attaching, for example detachably, the first end 240 of the second coupler link 90 to the second connector 70, for example by placing the first end 240 of the second coupler link 90 through the attachment site 190 of the second connector 70.
- the second coupler link 90 is also connected to the second rack 100 via the bracket 80, this connection being described in greater detail below.
- the rack system 10 can translationally couple the appliance door 120 to the first rack 60 and second rack 100 as follows.
- opening the appliance door 120 from the fully closed position 150 to the fully opened position 160 causes the door link 30 to move in a forward direction 280, along an arc 290, from inside the appliance cavity 140, across the appliance front end 110, to a position outside and forward of appliance 20.
- this forward movement of door link 30 in a forward direction 280 causes first coupler link 40, first connector 50, and first rack 60 to move forward also in forward direction 280, based on the various attachments and connections described above.
- first rack 60 can cause second connector 70, second coupler link 90, bracket 80, and second rack 100 to move forward also, again based on the various attachments and connections described above.
- the result is that the front end 260 of first rack 60 and the front end 270 of second rack 100 move from inside appliance cavity 140, across appliance front end 110, to a position outside and forward of appliance 20, such that first rack 60 and second rack 100 extend, for example at least partially, from appliance cavity 140.
- closing the appliance door 120 from the fully opened position 160 to the fully closed position 150 causes door link 30, first coupler link 40, first connector 50, first rack 60, second connector 70, second coupler link 90, bracket 80, and second rack 100 to move backward in backward direction 300, toward and further into the appliance cavity 140, again based on the various attachments and connections described above.
- the result is that the first rack front end 260 and the second rack front end 270 move from a position outside of and forward of appliance 20, across appliance front end 110, and into appliance cavity 140, such that first rack 60 and second rack 100 retract fully into appliance cavity 140.
- partially opening appliance door 120 will cause forward movement of door link 30, first coupler link 40, first connector 50, first rack 60, second connector 70, second coupler link 90, as described above, and potentially may also cause forward movement of bracket 80 and second rack 100, as described in more detail below.
- partially closing appliance door 120 will cause backward movement of door link 30, first coupler link 40, first connector 50, first rack 60, second connector 70, second coupler link 90, as described above, and potentially may also cause backward movement of bracket 80 and second rack 100, as described in more detail below.
- the rack system 10 can be configured in a non-staggered mode.
- a non-staggered mode as applied to the rack system 10, is a mode of configuration such that forward (or, conversely, backward) movement of the door link 30, as described above, results in forward (or, conversely, backward) movement of first rack 60 and second rack 100 to equal extents with regard to each other, the forward movement of first rack 60 and second rack 100 being proportional to the angular displacement of door link 30.
- the rack system 10 can be configured in a non- staggered mode, based on the general configuration described above, with the following additional detail that the connection of the second coupler link 90 to the bracket 80 is based on attaching, for example detachably, the second end 250 of the second coupler link 90 to the first attachment site 200 of bracket 80, for example by placing the second end 250 through the first attachment site 200 of bracket 80.
- opening of appliance door 120 will result in forward movement of door link 30, first coupler link 40, first connector 50, first rack 60, second connector 70, second coupler link 90, bracket 80, and second rack 100, such that first rack 60 and second rack 100 move forward equal distances and such that front end 260 of first rack 60 and front end 270 of second rack 100 maintain a plane 304 that is approximately parallel to appliance front end 110 of appliance 20.
- Closing of appliance door 120 will likewise and accordingly result in backward movement of equal distances of first rack 60 and second rack 100.
- the rack system 10 can be configured in a staggered mode.
- a staggered mode, as applied to the rack system 10, is a mode of configuration such that forward (or, conversely, backward) movement of the door link, as described above, results in forward (or, conversely, backward) movement of first rack 60 and potentially may also result in forward (or, conversely, backward) movement of second rack 100, the forward movement of first coupler link 40 being proportional to the angular displacement of door link 30.
- the rack system 10 can be configured in a staggered mode based on the general configuration described above, with the following additional detail that the connection of the second coupler link 90 to the bracket 80 is based on attaching, for example detachably, the second end 250 of the second coupler link 90 to the second attachment site 210 of bracket 80, for example by placing the second end 250 of the second coupler link 90 through the second attachment site 210 of bracket 80.
- opening of appliance door 120 will result in forward movement of door link 30, first coupler link 40, first connector 50, first rack 60, second connector 70, and second coupler link 90, but will not result in forward movement of bracket 80 or second rack 100, unless and until second coupler link 90 moves forward a sufficient distance such that second coupler link 90 contacts front end 212 of second attachment site 210 of bracket 80. Upon making contact, and to the extent that contact is maintained, further forward movement of second coupler link 90 will result in forward movement of bracket 80 and second rack 100.
- closing of appliance door 120 will result in backward movement of door link 30, first coupler link 40, first connector 50, first rack 60, second connector 70, and second coupler link 90, but will not result in backward movement of bracket 80 or second rack 100, unless and until second coupler link 90 moves backward a sufficient distance such that second coupler link 90 contacts back end 214 of bracket 80 (not shown).
- second coupler link 90 moves backward a sufficient distance such that second coupler link 90 contacts back end 214 of bracket 80 (not shown).
- further backward movement of second coupler link 90 will result in backward movement of bracket 80 and second rack 100 (not shown).
- configuration of the rack system in a staggered mode allows for manual manipulation of the position of the second rack 100 relative to the first rack 60.
- second rack 100 can be slidably extended from the appliance cavity 140 without causing extension of first rack 60 as second attachment site 210 moves relative to second coupler link 90, until second coupler link 90 comes in contact with back end 214 of second attachment site 210, from which point further manual extension of second rack 100 will cause extension of first rack 60 (not shown).
- second rack 100 can be slidably retracted into the appliance cavity 140 without causing retraction of first rack 60 as second attachment site 210 moves relative to second coupler link 90, until second coupler link 90 comes in contact with front end 212 of second attachment site 210, from which point further manual retraction of second rack 100 will cause retraction of first rack 60 (not shown).
- a door link 30, first coupler link 40, first connector 50, first rack 60, second connector 70, bracket 80, second coupler link 90, and second rack 100 that are coated, for example with high performance coatings can facilitate slidable movement of parts relative to one another, such as relative movement of parts of round joints, relative movement of parts of elongated joints, and sliding of first rack 60 and second rack 100 relative to appliance ledges 144 while reducing wear of such parts over time.
- a process for assembly of the rack system 10, for example including duplicate sets of the door link 30, first coupler link 40, second coupler link 90, brackets 80, and brackets 50 and 70, in an appliance 20, for example an oven that contains six pairs of appliance ledges 144 for support of racks, is as follows.
- the first rack 60 is placed on one of the three pairs of appliance ledges 144 closest to an appliance bottom 320 of the appliance 20.
- the first end 220 of first coupler link 40 is placed through attachment site 170 of the door link 30, and the second end 230 of first coupler link 40 is placed through attachment site 190 of first connector 50, thereby connecting door link 30 to first connector 50, which itself is attached to first rack 60.
- the second rack 100 is placed on one of the three pairs of appliance ledges 144 closest to an appliance top 330 of the appliance 20.
- the first end 240 of the second coupler link 90 is placed through attachment site 190 of second connector 70, and the second end 250 of the second coupler link 90 is placed through first attachment site 200 of bracket 80, thereby connecting second connector 70, which itself is attached to first rack 60, to bracket 80, which itself is attached to second rack 100.
- This process is repeated for the duplicate set of the second connector 70, second coupler link 90, and bracket 80.
- Attachment of the second end(s) 250 of second coupler link(s) 90 at first attachment site(s) 200 of bracket(s) 80 results in the non-staggered mode for the rack system 10.
- placement of the second end 250 of the second coupler link 90, not through first attachment site 200 of bracket 80 but rather through second attachment site 210 of bracket 80, and optionally repeating the process for a duplicate set of the second connector 70, second coupler link 90, and bracket 80 results in the staggered mode for the rack system 10.
- Bracket 350 includes first attachment site 370, corresponding for example to a round aperture, and second attachment site 380, corresponding for example to an elongated aperture.
- the second attachment site 380 has a front end 382 and a back end 384, the front end 382 and back end 384 being located proximal and distal, respectively, to appliance front end 110.
- Connector 360 includes an attachment site 390, corresponding for example to a round aperture.
- the bracket 350 is attached to first rack 60.
- Connector 360 is attached to second rack 100.
- the rack system 10 can translationally couple the appliance door 120 to the first rack 60 and the second rack 100, based on the various attachments and connections described above, with the exception that the first rack 60 is connected to the second rack 100 not via second connector 70, second coupler link 90, and bracket 80, but rather through bracket 350, second coupler link 90, and connector 360. More particularly, the second end 250 of second coupler link 90 can be attached at first attachment site 370 of bracket 350, and the first end 240 of second coupler link 90 can be attached at attachment site 390 of connector 360, resulting in a non-staggered mode. In an alternative embodiment, the second end 250 of second coupler link 90 can be attached at second attachment site 380 of bracket 350, and the first end 240 of second coupler link 90 can be attached at attachment site 390 of connector 360, resulting in a staggered mode.
- a process for assembly of this embodiment for example including duplicate sets of the door link 30, first coupler link 40, first connector 50, bracket 350, second coupler link 90, and connector 360, can be accomplished by the process described above, with the exception that the step of connecting second connector 70, second coupler link 90, and bracket 80 is replaced by a step of connecting bracket 350, second coupler link 90, and connector 360.
- the rack system can be used with supports other than, or in addition to, appliance ledges.
- appliance glides corresponding to supports that can be extended from or retracted into an appliance cavity based on rollers, can be used for support of racks of the rack system.
- the rack system can be positioned at and supported by various appliance supports, such as ledges or glides, within an appliance.
- appliance supports such as ledges or glides
- the first rack of the rack system can be used on any of the lowest three pairs of ledges or glides, and the second rack can be spaced two or three ledges or glides above the first rack. The result is that all ledge or glide positions can be given full functionality with regard to the rack system.
- detachable attachment of various components of the rack system allows for assembly and disassembly of a rack system in place, for example within an appliance, manually, and without requiring use of a tool.
- This detachability allows, for example, removal of the various components of a rack system from an oven for cleaning the components, for example in a sink, and to prevent damage to the components during self- cleaning of an oven, for example based on high levels of heat associated with self-cleaning.
- support of the racks by appliance ledges or glides precludes a need for any additional framing or support structure.
- the rack system can be modified such that the first coupler link is attached directly to the first rack, for example based on an aperture, slot, groove, or the like present in the first rack, rather than being connected to the first rack via a bracket, eliminating the need for the bracket in this context (not shown).
- the rack system can be modified such that the second coupler link is attached directly to whichever of the first or second rack to which the bracket is not attached, again based on an aperture, slot, groove, or the like present in the rack, rather than being connected to the rack via a bracket, eliminating the need for another bracket (not shown).
- the rack system can be modified based on including at least in duplicate various parts, for example the door link, first coupler link, second coupler link, and bracket.
- various parts for example the door link, first coupler link, second coupler link, and bracket.
- a set of each of the door link, first coupler link, second coupler link, and bracket can be present adjacent and in close proximity to each of the appliance side walls, for example within 0.1 to 5 inches, 0.3 to 3 inches, or 0.5 to 1 inches.
- an appliance including the rack system can be modified to include racks in addition to the first rack and the second rack of the rack system.
- racks in addition to the first rack and the second rack of the rack system.
- the second rack of the rack system can be readily disconnected from the rack system, for example by detaching the connection between the second coupler link and first rack or second rack.
- one or more additional racks can be connected to rack system, for example by connecting to the second rack an additional bracket, coupler link, bracket, and rack.
- the rack system in its various embodiments, can be used in settings other than in an oven.
- the rack system can be used in a refrigerator and/or freezer unit.
- the rack system can be constructed of any suitable material, such as metal, plastic, and the like. Further still, the various parts of the rack system need not all be constructed from the same materials.
- the overall size of the rack system and the sizes of the various parts thereof also depend upon the intended use of the rack.
- the rack system and the various parts thereof are designed to be connected, attached, and used in a conventional oven.
- the rack system can be made larger to fit commercial ovens or sized to fit any other appliance or other apparatus in which the rack system is to be used.
