  • Publication number: 20090230831
    Abstract: The invention concerns a drawer slide assembly, preferably for use in appliances, comprising a catch mechanism for resisting slide extension when the drawer is in a closed position. The catch mechanism is made of a spring arm pivotally mounted to one of the rails and an anchorage point provided in the other rail. When the assembly is moved to the closed position, the anchorage point engages and rotates the spring arm about its axis. Thus, opening the drawer requires a certain force to rotate the spring back. The use of a simple spring arm reduces friction between parts, reduces assembly costs and maintains desired flexibility and tolerance for drawer production and usage.

  • Publication number: 20060213898
    Abstract: The invention concerns an automatic oven door locking assembly for locking an oven door. The locking assembly includes a mounting plate, a switch and a latch plate. The latch plate has a hook engageable with an anchor in the oven door, and is moveable between positions where the hook disengages or engages the anchor. The assembly also includes a cam that is rotatably driven by a drive shaft and operatively connected to the latch plate so that when the cam rotates the latch plate moves from one position to another. The cam has an eccentric extension that engages and disengages the switch when the cam rotates. The assembly further includes biasing means to urge the movement of the latch plate from one position to another so that a portion of the latch plate disengages or engages the switch.
