Description

COOKER DEVICE COMPRISING A TELESCOPIC RAIL

The present invention relates to a cooker device comprising a telescopic rail.

In ovens, food products are cooked in a cooking chamber by being placed on the most suitable tray. The cooking chamber is enclosed by a body. The thermal insulation of the cooking chamber is thus provided. A plurality of guides are provided mutually on a plurality of elevations on the side walls of the cooking chamber. Trays are placed on said guides. Cooking in different intensities may be enabled by means of the guides being on different elevations. Placement of a tray on a guide is oftentimes difficult due to the friction between the guide and the tray. The tray being snagged on the guide may cause defects on the delicate food products placed in the cooking chamber. Telescopic rails are therefore used. The tray is fastened on a telescopic rail. When it is desired to remove the tray out of the cooking chamber, the telescopic rail is pulled to the front. By means of the telescopic rail moving more smoothly, the tray can be more conveniently placed into and removed out of the cooking chamber without damaging the delicate food products. However, stabilizing problems may be experienced when the telescopic rail is fixed on a guide. The telescopic rail cannot always provide stabilization due to its weight. Therefore, deformations may be observed on the guides and the telescopic rails over time, causing user discontent in terms of visual aesthetics.

State of the art German patent application no. DE102008031943 describes an oven comprising a telescopic rail.

The aim of the present invention is to realize a cooker device comprising an easy to use telescopic rail.
