Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a cooker designed primarily for domestic use.
  • the present invention relates to a cooker of the type which comprises an oven with an oven door which can be hinged open about its horizontal lower edge region, to a fully open position to allow access to the oven, or to a partially open position wherein a grill heating element located in the roof region of the oven can be used.
  • a control panel which incorporates control knobs for controlling the oven and grill.
  • the control knobs may be heated to a temperature at which they cannot be touched and, in practice, the temperature of the control knobs in such a cooker does increase to a greater extent than is recommended by at least British Gas regulations.
  • the aim of the present invention is to provide a cooker wherein the control panel and control knobs are heated to a limited and acceptable extent when the oven door is left open and the grill and/or oven is operational.
  • a cooker comprising an oven with a hinged oven door, a control panel incorporating control knobs being located above the oven door, with a vent being located between the control panel and said oven door, said vent communicating with a source of air which is cooler than the air which issues from the oven when the grill heating element is operational.
  • the hot air issuing from the oven passes over the vent drawing cooler air through the vent, the cooler air mixing with the hot air and thus cooling the air which passes over the control panel.
  • the flow of cooler air through the vent tends to form a laminar flow effect whereby the vented air, besides being cooler than the oven air, also reduces the natural tendency for the oven air to hug the surface of the control panel.
  • the vent in a preferred embodiment of the present invention communicates with an enclosed space behind the control panel and above the oven though beneath a hob provided on the top of the preferred embodiment.
  • the said cooler air may be merely drawn into this enclosed space via a further vent to the rear of the cooker.
  • the said cooler air is preferably in the form of a convection current of air which is drawn through vents and other openings in the lower region of the cooker, the air passing along passages within the cooker around the oven, and thus being heated and effectively pumped as a convection current, into the said enclosed space above the oven, whence the heated though cooler air, is pumped out of the cooker via said vent.
  • This positive flow of cooler air enhances the cooling effect whereby the control panel and control knobs are maintained within a desired temperature range.
  • the present invention may be applied to free-­standing cookers or cookers which are built into kitchen furniture, the same advantage arising in both installations.
  • the cooker 1 has a rectangular box-like casing 3 in which an oven 5 is located.
  • the oven 5 has a door 7 which is hinged as at 9, about its lower edge region for movement about a generally horizontal axis.
  • the door 5 can be hinged to a fully open position as shown in dashed lines in Fig. 1 to allow for access to the oven 5, or to a partially open position as shown in full lines in Fig. 1, wherein a grill heating element 11 (see Fig. 2) can be used.
  • control panel 13 On which various control knobs 15 are located, the control knobs controlling the oven 5, the drill heating element 11 and a hob 17 provided on the top of the cooker 1.
  • a louvred vent 19 which extends as a strip across the width of the cooker 1. This vent 19 communicates with an enclosed space 21 behind the control panel 13 and between the top of the oven 5 and the hob 17.
  • a further vent 23 provided in the upper region of the rear face 25 of said enclosed space 21 allows air to pass into and out of the enclosed space and will be referred to later.
  • the oven 5 is defined by a thermally insulated cabinet 27 and air passages 29 are formed between the side walls of the cabinet 27 and the inner walls of the casing 3. These air passages 29 connect said enclosed space 21 with air vents 31 provided in the front face of the casing 3 beneath the oven door 7 and a storage compartment door 33.
  • the present invention is equally applicable to any other type of cooker where the control panel is located above the oven door, e.g. a cooker with a side-hinged oven door.
  • a free-standing cooker is illustrated, the present invention can also be used with the same advantage in a built-in cooker, i.e. a cooker built into a kitchen unit.
  • the present invention thus provides a simple means for maintaining the temperature of a control panel of a particular type of cooker, within acceptable limits, especially when the grill is being operated.
