  • Patent number: 6192877
    Abstract: A blown air distributor for use in a convection oven having a blower that draws air from the baking chamber, a heat source to heat the drawn air and a plenum downstream from the blower to recirculate the heated air in the baking chamber. The blown air distributor has a plurality of finger ducts mounted in parallel on a single plate, which is removable from the baking chamber. Each finger duct has an air inlet to receive the heated air from the plenum and a plurality of air outlets to dispense the heated air in the baking chamber. The single plate has opposite side edges each slidably receivable in a guide way provided on a corresponding sidewall of the chamber. The single plate also has a plurality of air inlets that receive the air from the baking chamber and drawn by the blower. The blown air distributor is easily and rapidly installable without incorrectly placing each finger duct in the baking chamber. The blown air distributor is also easily dismantled for cleaning.
