    摘要: A microwave oven (10) includes a housing (12), a door (18, 18', 18"), and a latch (36, 76). The housing (12) defines a first internal cavity (16) configured to receive food. The door (18, 18', 18") is rotatably secured to the housing (12), defines a second internal cavity (40), and has a handle (34, 72). The door (18, 18', 18") is configuring to pivot relative to the housing (12) to transition the door (18, 18', 18") between an open position (30) and a closed position (32). The latch (36, 76) is disposed within the second internal cavity (40). The latch (36, 76) has a hook (48, 84) and a push button (50, 86). The hook (48, 84) protrudes outward from second internal cavity (40) and toward the housing (12). The hook (48, 84) is configured to engage and disengage the housing (12) to lock and unlock the door (18, 18', 18") to and from the housing (12), respectively. The push button (50, 86) is rigidly interconnected with the hook (48, 84). The hook (48, 84) is configured to disengage the housing (12) in response to depression of the push button (50, 86).
