Choke Cavity Cover Patents (Class 219/743)
  • Patent number: 8119955
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a device for preventing microwave leakage for a microwave oven. The present invention comprises a cavity assembly formed with an opening portion through which heating energy generated in an energy generating means is supplied into a cooking chamber provided within the cavity assembly; a cover provided on a side of the cavity assembly to cover the opening portion; and a choke member provided between the cavity assembly and the cover to prevent microwave supplied into the cooking chamber from leaking through a gap between the cavity assembly and the cover. According to the present invention, there is an advantage in that microwave is effectively prevented from leaking through a gap, which is formed when installing a heating means for providing a heating source in addition to the microwave.

  • Patent number: 7078661
    Abstract: A microwave oven door, and more particularly, an apparatus for shielding electromagnetic wave that compensates for the length of slots formed in an end of an oven door in order to improve the shielding ability capable of preventing the leakage of electromagnetic wave from the cavity. In the apparatus, a choke structure includes a choke base connected with an inner portion of the oven door, a choke inner side portion bent perpendicularly from the choke base and a choke top bent from the choke inner side portion to contact a front circumferential portion of an oven cavity. Slots are formed in the choke top and the choke inner side portion at a predetermined interval. Each slot is extended from a distal end of the choke top to a predetermined point of the choke inner side portion. The predetermined point is distanced the same as or smaller than the half of the width of the choke inner side portion from a joint between the choke top and the choke inner side portion.

  • Patent number: 6940057
    Abstract: A microwave oven including a cabinet defining a cooking chamber therein, and a door coupled to the cabinet to open and close the cooking chamber. The door includes a door frame forming an appearance of the door, a shielding plate installed in the door frame to prevent high-frequency electromagnetic waves from radiating from a small gap between the door and the cabinet, a choke member provided at a peripheral edge of the shielding plate and having a high-frequency choke groove, a cover to cover the high-frequency choke groove, and a retaining member provided at the cover to elastically support the choke member. When the cover is attached to the choke member, an end of the choke member is supported on an inner rib section of the cover via the retaining member, thus reducing deformation of the choke member.

  • Patent number: 5942144
    Abstract: A door of a microwave oven includes an outer cover defining an exterior of the door, a door frame coupled to the outer cover and forming a choke recess for preventing microwave leakage, and a bracket including two parallel walls surrounding the choke recess and fixing the door frame to the outer cover. One of the parallel walls of the bracket contacts a wall of the door frame forming a front surface of the choke recess so as to prevent the choke recess from being deformed when the door is being assembled.

  • Patent number: 5750969
    Abstract: A microwave choke apparatus for a microwave oven includes an inner door panel having a plurality of multi-pronged and double-stepped portions extended outwardly therefrom, between which multi-pronged and double-stepped toothed portions there are alternately formed a plurality of slots, an outer door panel having an upwardly bent portion at an outer periphery thereof, and a choke cover for closing an opening formed between an inner side of the bent portion of the outer door panel and respective outer flat portions of the multi-pronged and double-stepped toothed portions of the inner door panel. The apparatus effectively prevents microwaves from leaking externally through a gap between a door frame and a front panel of the microwave oven by broadening a bandwidth of a choke resonant frequency of a choke channel.
