Publication number: 20230383957Abstract: A cooking appliance includes a housing, a muffle arranged in the housing and defining a cooking chamber, a door movably arranged on the housing for closing the cooking chamber, and a flow channel system conducting air suctioned from the surroundings of the cooking appliance in flow channels of the flow channel system in order to cool the door and the housing. The flow channel system, when viewed in a height direction of the cooking appliance, includes an inflow channel extending in the housing and below the muffle such that air flowing through the inflow channel flows from the door into the housing, and an outflow channel extending separate from the inflow channel in the housing and below the muffle such that air flows via the outflow channel out of the housing. The inflow channel and the outflow channel are arranged one over the other when viewed in the height direction.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 27, 2021Publication date: November 30, 2023Inventors: Julien Adam, Victorien Bierg, Christophe Cadeau, Hakim Marko

Patent number: 10436444Abstract: A gas valve unit for controlling a gas throughput guided to a gas burner of a gas device includes a plurality of on-off valves. Each on-off valve includes a movable valve body with a shut-off body and an activation area, a closing spring which, when the on-off valve is closed, pushes the shut-off body onto a sealing seat and thereby closes an opening. A driver lifts the shut-off body away from the sealing seat for opening the on-off valve by a force caused by the driver when engaging into the activation area against a force of the closing spring. The valve body has a shoulder area to accept a torque arising on engagement of the driver into the activation area.Type: GrantFiled: March 5, 2014Date of Patent: October 8, 2019Assignee: BSH Hausgeräte GmbHInventors: Christophe Cadeau, Jörn Naumann
