Hinge device of a steam oven door
A hinge device of a steam oven door comprises a mount provided with a slide slot thereon, which is installed on an inner lateral wall of an oven case. A roller wheel is slidably mounted in the slide slot. One side of the mount is pivotally installed with a rotary beam provided with a spring; the free end of the spring is fixed on the lateral wall of the oven case. The opposite side of the mount is provided with a push beam with one end pivotally connected to the roller wheel and the rotary beam. The rotary beam is pivotally connected to a link beam with second end pivotally connected to a curved element, whose one end is in turn pivotally connected to the mount. The other end of the curved element is pivotally connected to a transmission beam.
The present invention relates to steam oven doors, and more particularly to a hinge device of a steam oven door capable of capable of preventing interference between the oven door and the water tray, wherein the oven door of the present invention will not interfere with the water tray. The oven door and the outer lateral wall of the water tray can be on the same plane, making the outlook of the present invention more visually appealing.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION Referring to
Accordingly, the primary objective of the present invention is to provide a hinge device of a steam oven door capable of preventing interference between the oven door and the water tray.
A hinge device of a steam oven door comprises a mount provided with a slide slot thereon, which is installed on an inner lateral wall of an oven case. A roller wheel is slidably mounted in the slide slot. One side of the mount is pivotally installed with a rotary beam provided with a spring; the free end of the spring is fixed on the lateral wall of the oven case. The opposite side of the mount is provided with a push beam with one end pivotally connected to the roller wheel and the rotary beam. The rotary beam is pivotally connected to a link beam with second end pivotally connected to a curved element, whose one end is in turn pivotally connected to the mount. The other end of the curved element is pivotally connected to a transmission beam. One end of the push beam is pivotally connected to the transmission beam, and the other end is connected to the inner wall of the oven door. Thereby, the oven door is mounted on the front side of the steam oven.
BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS
The various objects and advantages of the present invention will be more readily understood from the following detailed description when read in conjunction with the appended drawings.
Referring to
To use a steam oven door equipped with the present invention, as shown in
According to the above description, the present invention has the advantages as follows.
1. The oven door of the present invention will not interfere with the water tray.
2. The oven door and the outer lateral wall of the water tray can be on the same plane, making the outlook of the present invention more visually appealing.
The present invention is thus described, and it will be obvious that the same may be varied in many ways. Such variations are not to be regarded as a departure from the spirit and scope of the present invention, and all such modifications as would be obvious to one skilled in the art are intended to be included within the scope of the following claims.
Claims
