Patent number: 10362641Abstract: A microwave oven includes a waveguide having an E-bend structure with multiple openings disposed on a lateral face of a heating chamber that allow the waveguide to communicate with the heating chamber. The waveguide has a first section for propagating a microwave from a magnetron toward the heating chamber, and a second section having a wide plane that abuts an outer wall of the heating chamber. The openings include at least one circularly-polarized-wave opening for generating a circularly polarized wave. A cross section of the first section orthogonally intersects a tube axis of the first section projects virtually along the tube axis of first section and onto a lateral face of the heating chamber, and the circularly-polarized-wave opening is configured such that its center is located outside the resultant projected region.Type: GrantFiled: March 11, 2015Date of Patent: July 23, 2019Assignee: PANASONIC INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY MANAGEMENT CO., LTD.Inventors: Yoshiharu Omori, Koji Yoshino, Masaharu Tsujimoto, Takahide Yamaguchi, Junji Hirata, Takayuki Akashi, Masafumi Sadahira, Masayuki Kubo

Publication number: 20160353529Abstract: Microwave oven (20) includes waveguide (3) having an E-bend structure, and multiple openings (4a, 4b). Waveguide (3) has first section (3a) for propagating a microwave from magnetron (2) toward heating chamber (1), and second section (3b) of which wide plane abuts on the outer wall of heating chamber (1). Multiple openings (4a, 4b) are disposed on a lateral face of heating chamber (1). Openings (4a, 4b) allow waveguide (3) to communicate with heating chamber (1), and include at least one circularly-polarized-wave opening (4a) for generating a circularly polarized wave. A cross section of first section (3a) orthogonally intersecting tube axis (7a) of first section (3a) is projected virtually along tube axis (7a) of first section (3a) onto a lateral face of heating chamber (1), and circularly-polarized-wave opening (4a) is formed such that its center is located outside the resultant projected region defined by this projection.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 11, 2015Publication date: December 1, 2016Applicant: Panasonic Intellectual Property Management Co., Ltd.Inventors: YOSHIHARU OMORI, KOJI YOSHINO, MASAHARU TSUJIMOTO, TAKAHIDE YAMAGUCHI, JUNJI HIRATA, TAKAYUKI AKASHI, MASAFUMI SADAHIRA, MASAYUKI KUBO

Publication number: 20120312808Abstract: A high-frequency cooking device includes: a heating chamber; a high-frequency generating device; a heating chamber opening portion; a door configured to cover the heating chamber opening portion so as to open and close; a choke portion provided on a peripheral edge portion of the door; and a choke cover which is formed by a resin and which is provided on the door in a position between the choke portion and a peripheral wall portion of the heating chamber opening portion. A ripple is formed on a tip of the choke cover which opposes the choke portion. The ripple seals a portion between the choke portion and the choke cover.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 25, 2011Publication date: December 13, 2012Applicant: PANASONIC CORPORATIONInventors: Masaharu Tsujimoto, Shinichi Sakai, Yuji Hayakawa, Kuniaki Abe

Patent number: 4870896Abstract: A heating and cooking apparatus has a kneading trough detachably installed in a heating chamber of the apparatus and provided with a handle for easy carrying for a user. Since both the kneading trough and a portion to be engaged with the kneading trough in the heating chamber are formed square, the force in the rotating direction during the operation can be positively received by the corners, thereby enhancing the strength of the apparatus, without rattlings or wearing-out or disengagement of the engaging portion therebetween.Type: GrantFiled: December 28, 1988Date of Patent: October 3, 1989Assignee: Matsushita Electric Industrial Co., Ltd.Inventors: Takashi Asahina, Mitsuo Akiyoshi, Yoshio Mitsumoto, Satoru Kodama, Masaharu Tsujimoto
