Abstract: An eavestroughing system comprises a roll-formed sheet metal eavestrough in combination with plastic injection molded fitting therefor. The eavestrough has a compactly overturned longitudinally extending edge portion along each sidewall of a thickness substantially greater than the thickness of the metal in the trough. The support fitting is formed of semi-rigid plastic and has two spaced-apart clip portions adapted to receive the trough edge portions. The fitting has a body portion with an internal surface approximating the external shape of the trough to encompass same when the trough is clipped into and supported by the plastic fittings.

Abstract: A windowed oven door for ranges having self-cleaning ovens comprises a system for simultaneously locking the door and raising a shield to cover the window. A linkage mechanism in the shield raising part of the system includes a pair of overcenter link arms which are retained in their past dead center position while the oven door is locked on an oven during its self-cleaning cycle.

Abstract: An oven door has a movable shield for covering its window during a self-cleaning cycle of an oven. The door includes apparatus for automatically raising and lowering the shield to and from a window covering position as the oven door is raised and lowered, improved track system for controlling and guiding the shield movement within the door and improved locking means for locking the oven door shut only when the shield is in its window covering position.

Abstract: A track system for suspending and guiding the movement of a shield to and from a window-covering position in an oven door for a self-cleaning oven when an oven is to be operated at high temperatures to clean the interior surfaces of the oven and the oven door. A linear motion bearing means is provided to suspend the moveable shield by a first end portion within the oven door where the shield moves along the linear motion bearing means to and from a position which covers and shields a transparent pane in an oven door. A second end portion of the moveable shield opposite the first end portion of the shield is free whereby thermal expansion in the moveable shield is accommodated.
