Abstract:
The present invention relates to an oven door (10) for a microwave oven or an appliance with microwave heating function. The oven door (10) comprises a door frame (22, 24, 26) enclosing said oven door (10) and a number of glass panels (34, 36, 38, 40) inside and/or in front of said door frame (22, 24, 26). The door frame includes a support element (22), a cover element (24) and a wave choke (26). The wave choke (26) is arranged between the support element (22) and the cover element (24). The cover element (24) is fixed or fixable at the support element (22) and forms at least an outer portion of an inner side of the oven door (10). The cover element (24) covers an outer portion of an inner side of an inner glass panel (36). The inner glass panel (36) is clamped between the cover element (24) with its inner side and the support element (22) and/or the wave choke (26) with its outer side. A sealing element (44) is arranged between the cover element (24) and the inner glass panel (36). The sealing element (44) is made of a high temperature resistant textile material. The cover element (24) is made of a high temperature resistant non-metallic material. Further, the present invention relates to a corresponding chassis for the microwave oven or the appliance with microwave heating function.
Abstract:
The invention in particular relates to a method of treating soiled inner walls of an oven cavity (3). The method comprises a step of mechanically nebulising a cleansing liquid (5) for generating a mist (11) of the cleansing liquid (5) within the oven cavity (3).
Abstract:
The invention relates to an oven, especially to a domestic oven, which has a control panel comprising a user interface (1) for inputting data (D) into the control panel, wherein the user interface (1) comprises: at least one display element (2) for displaying data, wherein data (D) can be displayed on the display element (2) at a location (Z) on the display element (2) at a predetermined first axial position (x) and a predetermined second axial position (y), wherein the direction of the first (x) and of the second (y) axial positions are perpendicular to another, selecting means (3, 4) for selecting the location (Z) on the display element (2) by selecting or pretending a definite first (x) and second (y) position for a cursor (5), wherein at least one of the selecting means (3, 4) are established as a slider element extending in a longitudinal direction (L) and having a surface (6) sensitive for touching with a finger (7) of the user, wherein a control unit is arranged to position the cursor (5) in a position or direction (x, y) on the display element (2) in dependence on the location or movement of the finger (7) on the slider element (3, 4) in the longitudinal direction (L). By this an improved interaction between the user and the oven becomes possible. Furthermore, the invention relates to a method for selecting and inputting an information into the control panel of the oven.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to a microwave sealing device of an opening for a rotating shaft (26) or axle. The sealing device (10; 30; 50) is provided for enclosing a section of the shaft (26) or axle. The sealing device (10; 30; 50) includes a front panel (12; 32; 52) and a basis part (14; 34; 54). The front panel (12; 32; 52) is formed as a plane disk and comprises a central hole (16; 36; 56) in its centre and a plurality of cuts (20; 40; 58, 60). The basis part (14; 34; 54) is formed as a hollow part with a peripheral wall and two opposing face sides. At least one of the two opposing face sides of the basis part (14; 34; 54) is open. The basis part (14; 34; 54) comprises a plurality of cuts (22; 42; 62) in the peripheral wall. The front panel (12; 32; 52) is attached at the open face side or at one of the two open face sides, respectively, of the basis part (14; 34; 54).
Abstract:
The invention in particular is directed to an oven cavity (3) adapted to be used with a baking and/or steaming oven (1). The cavity (3) comprises several cavity walls (5, 6), wherein at least one load bearing wall section of at least one of the cavity walls (5, 6) is made in self-supporting configuration from at least one of a high temperature resistant polymer material and technical textile material.
