  • Patent number: 12234992
    Abstract: A cooking appliance includes a housing having a cooking chamber, a door, and a guide apparatus with a locking apparatus, which can lock the coupled state between the door and the guide apparatus. The locking apparatus has a bearing support with a holder, in which in the coupled state a bearing element engages. The locking apparatus has a tubular sleeve with a carrier, which is supported rotatably on the bearing support, so that in the coupled state when the sleeve is in a first rotational position, an unlocking position can be established between the sleeve and the bearing element and in the coupled state when the sleeve is in a second rotational position, a locking position can be established between the sleeve and the bearing element.
