Patent number: 6817353Abstract: A cooking appliance includes a support frame at least partially defining a cooktop, an orifice holder, an igniter assembly having an attachment bracket and a removable burner base. The orifice holder includes a central projection and a recessed portion through which extends an igniter receiving aperture. The removable burner includes an igniter receiving opening and a central receiving portion adapted to engage with the gas orifice holder through the central projection to form a burner assembly. The igniter is positioned in the igniter receiving aperture with the bracket being secured to the recessed portion of the orifice holder. Once assembly, the burner base is placed over the orifice holder to from a gas burner assembly. Preferably, the igniter is interconnected with an ignition wire having a terminal connector sized to pass through the igniter receiving aperture. With this arrangement, the igniter is installed/removed from a top portion of the cooktop.Type: GrantFiled: April 10, 2003Date of Patent: November 16, 2004Assignee: Maytag CorporationInventors: Wade A.

Patent number: 6730882Abstract: A cooking appliance, such as a range, includes a cabinet within which is arranged an oven cavity that is adapted to be selectively closed by a pivotable door. A latching mechanism is provided to interconnect the door and the cabinet. The latching mechanism is movable between a locked position wherein the door is maintained closed and an unlocked position wherein the door can be pivoted to enable access to the oven cavity. The latching mechanism is operable in two distinct modes, i.e., a first mode wherein the latching mechanism is activated in conjunction with the operation of a self-clean cycle, and a second mode wherein the latching mechanism is operated independently of any other function of the cooking appliance. The second mode is particularly employed to prevent children from improperly utilizing the door as a stepping platform.Type: GrantFiled: July 2, 2002Date of Patent: May 4, 2004Assignee: Maytag CorporationInventor: Wade A.
