Such materials are well known and one thereof is disclosed in U.S. Pat. No. 3,266,477 to A. B. Stiles.
Oven liners with continuous clean characteristics are usually provided with fixed panels which thus require that the ovens be provided with the panels at the time they are built. However, ovens are appliances which usually last for many years. Therefore, many times a housewife may own a satisfactorily operating conventional oven while desiring one which has continuous clean characteristics. In such a case she is usually loath to invest in the second oven while the first oven performs efficiently. In other cases a housewife may purchase a new conventional oven but may desire an option to provide the purchased oven with continuous clean possibilities.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION.
In either of the above cases a solution is provided by the present invention wherein there is provided an accessory kit for converting the conventional oven to a continuous clean oven. The kit embodies a set of back, bottom and side panels coated .with continuous clean material which panels are adapted to be removably inserted into the conventional oven so that the oven will operate as a continuous clean oven.
The panels are designed, according to this invention, to interfit in such a manner that proper assembly will be retained while permitting easy removal of the bottom panel whenever desired for servicing of the bottom heating unit without disturbing the side and back panels.
Novel means is also provided for retaining the side panels in place, which means utilizes the ovens rack supports for this purpose.
BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS Other objectives and advantages of the invention will become apparent from the following description taken in connection with the accompanying drawings, wherein:
FIG. 1 is a front elevational view in perspective of an oven embodying the invention;
FIG. 2 is an isometric view of the continuous clean panel kit of the invention fully assembled;
FIG. 3 is an enlarged sectional view of the bottom panel and its supports;
FIG. 4 is an isometric view of a rack support assembly;
FIG. 5 is a vertical sectional view illustrating a side panel retained in place by a rack support; and
FIG. 6 is an enlarged view of a portion of a side panel.
DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENT Referring to the drawings, and particularly to FIG. I, there is shownan oven 10 of a type commonly known which .may be fueled by any, suitable source such as gas or electricity, as desired. It will be understood, however, that this invention may be applied to or incorporated in other ovens such as free-standing ranges, for example, and may comprise either the upper or lower or both ovens in ranges where two ovens are utilized.
Traditionally, ovens include an oven liner comprising a top 12, side walls 14 and 16, back wall 18 and a bottom panel which with a door 20 comprise a cooking, baking or broiling compartment. The liner is mounted in a suitable cabinet or body 22 which encompasses the various elements of the oven and provides a decorative outer covering with a pleasing appearance for the kitchen. Located above or at one side of the door 20 may be a control panel 24 containing the various control components such as burner controls, thermostat, clock, etc.
' The front of the oven liner is open and is adapted to be closed by the front-opening door 20'which is hinged to the oven cabinet along its bottom edge by a pair of hinge straps 26. I
Heating means is provided in the oven for normal cooking operations and for this purpose a top burner 28 is provided near the top 12 of the liner. Top burner 28 is usually used for broiling, while a second burner (not shown) is located beneath the floor of the liner for baking purposes, as is well known.
Burner 28 is illustrated as a radiant type gas-fueled burner such as, for example, the radiant burner disclosed in U.S. Pat. No. 3,122,197. However, the burners may be conventional blue flame ported gas burners or may be electrical resistance heating elements, if desired, or may be any other type burners fueled by any suitable material and in any suitable manner.
The walls 12, 14, 16 and 18, and door 20, as well as a removable bottom (not shown) are of metal and when the burner or burners are operated they confine heat within the'compart'rnent for the desired cooking function. However, it will be apparent that the bottom as well as the back and side panels become rather easily soiled by food spillage or the like and require manual cleaning, a tedious time-consuming and generally disliked procedure.
With the advent of self-cleaning and continuous cleaning ovens the manual cleaning chore has been reduced or eliminated. However, in most known cases the ovens are of a completely factory-built fixed-panel assembly type. a
In accordance with the present invention, a conventional oven may be converted into a continuous clean oven by means of a kit which comprises a number of separate panels which are precoated with the selected continuous cleaning material and which are so constructed and arranged as to be easily inserted into the conventional oven for the purpose.
Referring to FIG. 2, the kit comprises a bottom 30, a back wall panel 32, and side or end wall panels 34 and 36. To insert the panels in the conventional oven, the conventional oven bottom and oven racks are removed.
I060II 0414 Removal of the oven bottom clearly exposes a plate 38 which extends across the front of the liner near the base thereof and, also exposes at the rear of the liner, a cross channel 40 which is fixedly secured to'the back wall 18 of the liner. The coated back panel 32 is placed in the liner in overlying relation to back wall 18 as shown in FIG. 1, and has rearwardly extending peripheral flanges 42 along its top, side and bottom edgeswhich retain the panel 32 slightly spaced from wall 18. Bottom flange 44 is adapted to rest upon the upper plate 46 of channel 40 as shown in FIG. 3.
On each side wall 14 and 16 a wire rack support 48 is pivotally supported at its upper end by brackets 50 and 52. The particular pivoting structure may be, for example, as shown in FIG. 4 wherein bracket 50 includes an apertured forwardly extending portion 54 into the aperture of which an angled portion 56 of one side 58 of the support is located. The other bracket 52 includes a forwardly extending portion 60 which has a recess or U-shaped configuration within which rests an angled portion 62 of the second side 64 of the support-Thus the support is efficiently and simply pivotally mounted on the oven side wall and may be easily swung out from the wall or removed from it.
The side portions 58 and 64 of the supports are adapted to be constantly spaced from the respective wall and panel by means of bends 66 therein asshown, and are interconnected by wire runners 68 for the pur pose of supporting a rack (not shown) within the oven.
After the back panel 32 has been positioned in the liner as described above, a support 48 is swung outwardly away from its respective side wall 14 or 16 and a coated side panel 34 or 36 is slid into place between the support and the side wall. The side panels are each provided with a flange 72 encircling the entire periphery so as to space the panels slightly from the liner side walls. The rear edge of each side panel is adapted to interfit within a channel or groove 73 formed in the adjacent surface of the back panel as shown in FIGS. 2 and 6. The front edge is supported upon plate 38 and may be suitably interlocked therewith, if desired, and the remainder of the bottom edge of the side panels rest upon lateral ridges (not shown) formed in the liner walls 14 and 16 or on pins or studs inserted in these side walls.
After both side panels have been located in position, the rack supports 48 are then dropped into their nor- -mal positions to prevent the panels from moving. In
order to properly achieve this, the panels are provided with small indentations or recesses 70 which are preferably of a depth corresponding to the width of the flange 72 so that the bases of the recesses rest against the adjacent side wall. The recesses 70 are each provided with an aperture 74, as shown best in FIG. 6, and the bends 66 in the rack supports are adapted to protrude through the apertures into direct contact with the side walls as illustrated in FIG. 5. Thus, the rack supports 48 are positioned normally while still functioning to retain the side panels in place, and the side panels in turn, by interfitting with the back panel, assist in holding the back panel in place.
At this time the coated bottom panel 30 may be inserted in the oven liner by inserting its rear edge into channel 40 with its downturned rear flange 42 (FIG. 3)' resting upon the bottom plate 78 of the channel 40 and with its-correspondingly downturned front flange 42' resting upon plate 38.1The bottompanel 30 is of a length to interfit within and between the bottom edge portions of the side panels and thus aids in retaining them in place. Thereafter a conventional oven rack may be slid onto the rack supports to complete the structure. In a structure of this type the bottompanel 30 may be easily removed without disturbing the side or back panels.
It will be apparent from the foregoing that all of the objectives of this invention have been achieved by the conversion system described whereby a conventional oven'may be easily modified to provide it with continuous cleaning characteristics. The conversion kit of the invention includes panels and novel means for removably positioning the panels so that easy servicing is permitted. Itwill also be apparent that many modifications in the invention may be made by those skilled in the art without departing from the spirit of the invention as expressed in the accompanying claims. Accordingly, all matter shown and described is to be interpreted as illustrative and not in a limiting sense.
