  • Patent number: 11852378
    Abstract: An improved convection fan cover is provided. In one or more implementations, the improved convection fan cover has a shutter system. As the convection heating system operates, the shutter system opens and closes (or blocks and unblocks) vents in the convection fan cover, creating an oscillation effect that alters the flow of air throughout an oven cavity, contributing to a more even cooking profile.

  • Publication number: 20200191411
    Abstract: An improved convection fan cover is provided. In one or more implementations, the improved convection fan cover has a rotating blocker that is geared off of the fan shaft of a convection heating system. As the convection heating system operates, the rotating blocker causes an oscillation effect that alters the flow of air throughout an oven cavity, contributing to a more even cooking profile.
