  • Publication number: 20220307699
    Abstract: A cooking appliance includes a housing having a cooking chamber, a door, and a guide apparatus with a locking apparatus, which can lock the coupled state between the door and the guide apparatus. The locking apparatus has a bearing support with a holder, in which in the coupled state a bearing element engages. The locking apparatus has a tubular sleeve with a carrier, which is supported rotatably on the bearing support, so that in the coupled state when the sleeve is in a first rotational position, an unlocking position can be established between the sleeve and the bearing element and in the coupled state when the sleeve is in a second rotational position, a locking position can be established between the sleeve and the bearing element.

  • Patent number: 11371715
    Abstract: A cooking appliance includes a housing having a cooking chamber and a storage space, which is separate from the cooking chamber. A door is movably arranged on the housing for closing the cooking chamber and for lowering into the storage space in an opened state of the door. A handle is arranged in a fixed location on the door. Movably supported on the door is a guide element which is connected directly to a first end of a retaining spring on the door so as to maintain a coupling position of the guide element on the door. A guide track is mounted in the storage space for guiding the guide element on the door.

  • Publication number: 20220154943
    Abstract: A cooking appliance includes a door for closing a cooking chamber and a guide device to guide a movement of the door into or out of a separate stowing space. The guide device includes a guide unit connected to the door and guided in a slotted guide. The guide unit, when viewed in a height direction, includes a lower guide element and a higher guide element, with the lower guide element moving on a lower guide track without contact with a separate upper guide track, and with the higher guide element moving on the upper guide track without contact with the lower guide track. A damping unit is coupled to the guide unit such that at least a partial closing path is damped as the door is closed between an intermediate position thereof on a closing path of the door and a completely closed end position of the door.

  • Patent number: 10190780
    Abstract: A door for a household appliance includes a plate-type base part and a handle which is arranged on the base part and includes a movable handle part. Connected to the handle part is a coupling apparatus which is configured to pivot the handle part relative to the base part as a function of a movement of the door. The coupling apparatus includes a coupling rod arranged on the handle part, a return spring arranged on the coupling rod, and a single-run cable pull having an end which faces the handle part and is connected to the coupling rod. Provision is further made for a locking mechanism to limit a movement of the coupling rod.

  • Publication number: 20180038145
    Abstract: A household appliance includes a housing surrounding an accommodation space and a door pivotable relative to the housing between a closing state in which the door closes a loading opening of the accommodation space and an opening state in which the door is retracted into a stowing area in the housing. A guide device is coupled to the door to guide the door during movement into and out of the stowing area. The guide device includes a bearing unit configured as a multi-articulated device which is mounted for rotation about an axis of rotation and includes guide elements. The multi-articulated device is configured such that a distance of the guide elements from one another and/or a distance of at least one of the guide elements to the axis of rotation is changeable depending on a position of the door.

  • Publication number: 20180038597
    Abstract: A domestic appliance includes a housing having an accommodating space and a door arranged pivotably to the housing so as to be movable to a closed state in which a loading opening of the accommodating space of the housing is closeable and an opened state in which the door is lowered in a stowage space in the housing. A guiding device is coupled to the door to guide a movement of the door into and out of the stowage space. The guiding device includes a supporting unit which is mounted for rotation about an axis of rotation and includes a supporting bracket, and guiding elements which are mounted rotatably on the supporting bracket. The supporting bracket has a displacement slot defined by a varying radius and configured to rotate the supporting bracket about the axis of rotation with a rotational movement which deviates from a segment of a circular path.
