20120088199 | APPARATUS AND METHOD FOR IMPROVED IGNITION OF A GASEOUS FUEL BURNER IN AN APPLIANCE - A method and apparatus for improved ignition of a gaseous fuel in an appliance is provided. More particularly, the shielding of an igniter and the use of thermal convection to direct a flow of gaseous fuel and air across a hot surface of the igniter in order to create proper conditions for the ignition of the gaseous fuel is described. | 04-12-2012 |
20130032132 | OVEN APPLIANCE WITH DUAL OPENING DOORS - An oven appliance having a pair of doors that open together to provide access to the cooking chamber of the appliance is provided. The doors are mechanically connected with other each such that the opening of one door also causes the other door to open—e.g., a user of the appliance can open both doors using only one door. The mechanism that allows for the simultaneous opening of the doors can be readily contained within the cabinet of the oven—substantially or completely hidden from the user's view. | 02-07-2013 |
20130233294 | OVEN APPLIANCE WITH A MECHANISM FOR SECURING A PAIR OF DOORS IN A CLOSED CONFIGURATION - An oven appliance is provided having a pair of doors mounted to a cabinet of the appliance and configured for permitting selective access to a cooking chamber of the oven appliance. A mechanism selectively secures the pair of doors in a closed configuration such that access to the cooking chamber is impeded by the pair of doors. | 09-12-2013 |

20130319394 | OVEN HINGE DAMPER COOLING SYSTEM - An oven includes an oven cavity, an oven door providing access to the oven cavity, and a dampening hinge member pivotably coupling the oven door to the oven. A channel encloses the dampening hinge member and provides a flow of air to the dampening hinge member. | 12-05-2013 |
20140069408 | OVEN APPLIANCE WITH DUAL OPENING AND CLOSING DOORS - The present subject matter provides an oven appliance. The oven appliance includes a cabinet that defines a chamber. A pair of doors is rotatably mounted to provide selective access to the chamber of the cabinet. A linkage assembly connects the doors of the pair of doors such that the doors rotate open and closed simultaneously. The linkage assembly includes a pair of gears that transfer rotational motion of one door to another door of the pair of doors. | 03-13-2014 |
20140069409 | OVEN APPLIANCE WITH DOORS HAVING A TONGUE AND GROOVE INTERFACE - An oven appliance with a cabinet that defines a chamber is provided. A pair of doors is mounted proximate the cabinet and provides selective access to the cabinet. One of the pair of doors includes a tongue. Another of the pair of doors defines a groove configured for receipt of the tongue when the pair of doors is in a closed position. The tongue and groove can limit heat loss through a gap between the pair of doors or assist with sealing the pair of doors against the cabinet. | 03-13-2014 |
20140070681 | OVEN APPLIANCE WITH DUAL OPENING AND CLOSING DOORS - An oven appliance with a cabinet that defines a chamber for cooking food items is provided. A pair of doors is rotatably mounted to provide selective access to the chamber of the cabinet. The pair of doors is connected with a linkage assembly that simultaneously opens and closes the pair of doors. The linkage includes features for rotating one door of the pair at a first angular velocity and for rotating another of the pair of doors at a second angular velocity. An angular velocity differential between the first angular velocity and the second angular velocity can limit impacting or rubbing between the pair of doors during simultaneous opening and closing of the pair of doors. | 03-13-2014 |
20140070685 | OVEN APPLIANCE WITH DUAL OPENING AND CLOSING DOORS - An oven appliance is provided. The oven appliance includes a cabinet that defines a chamber. A pair of doors is rotatably mounted to provide selective access to the chamber of the cabinet. The pair of doors is connected with a linkage assembly such that the doors rotate open and closed simultaneously. The linkage assembly includes a spur gear that engages another gear of the linkage assembly. The spur gear can hinder unwanted rotation of the pair of doors or compress the pair of doors against a seal. | 03-13-2014 |
20140251300 | OVEN APPLIANCE - An oven appliance is provided. The oven appliance includes a pair of doors and a pair of flanges. Each flange of the pair of flanges is mounted to a respective one of the pair of doors. The flanges engage and overlap each other when the pair of doors is in a closed position and include features for limiting wear between the flanges. | 09-11-2014 |
20140251301 | OVEN APPLIANCE - An oven appliance is provided. The oven appliance includes a pair of doors. Each door of the pair of doors includes an outer door panel and an inner door panel. The outer and inner door panels are spaced apart from each other along at least one edge of the door such that the inner and outer door panels define a thermal break therebetween. The thermal break can assist with limiting or hindering heat transfer between the inner and outer door panels. | 09-11-2014 |
20140283811 | OVEN APPLIANCE WITH DUAL OPENING DOORS - The present subject matter provides an oven appliance. The oven appliance includes a pair of doors. A pair of sprockets or gears, a pair of chains, and a pair of connecting members couple the doors to each other such that the doors open and close simultaneously. The oven appliance also includes features for limiting or eliminating contact between the connecting members at a location where the connecting members cross each other. | 09-25-2014 |
