Patent number: 6637319Abstract: An oven door hinge having an arm and a hinge assembly pivotally attached thereto. The hinge assembly has an elongated, channel-shaped housing that is configured to be removably and constrainingly received within a pocket of an oven door. The housing has two ends, with one end having a slotted, transverse end wall and the other end pivotally attached to the arm of the hinge at a first location. The hinge assembly also includes an elongated, channel-shaped link having two ends, with one end pivotally attached to the arm of the hinge at a second location, and the second end extending towards the transverse end wall of the housing. The link is configured to be retained within the channel of the housing so that it is able to shift positions with respect thereto as the hinge assembly is rotated.Type: GrantFiled: October 3, 2002Date of Patent: October 28, 2003Inventors: Angelo Vanini, Jeffrey R.
