## Abstract

A guide device for a cooking rack comprises a side grid and a pull-out guide with rails movable relative to one another, wherein a stationary rail can be fixed to a strut of the side grid via at least two holders, wherein at least the strut to which the at least two holders are fixed has a cross-section deviating from the circular shape, and at least one holder has a contact surface which lies flat against the strut. In this way, the pull-out guide can be firmly fixed to the strut.

## Claims

### Claim 1

A guide device for a cooking rack, comprising a side grid and a pull-out guide having a stationary rail and a movable rail, wherein the stationary rail can be fixed to a strut of the side grid via at least two holders, wherein at least the strut on which the at least two holders are fixed has a rectangular cross section, wherein the at least one of the at least two holders comprises an upper horizontal section from which an angled vertical web runs downward, wherein the upper horizontal section of the at least one of the at least two holders has a bearing surface which bears against an external contact surface of the strut on which the at least two holders are fixed, and wherein the angled vertical web of the at least one of the at least two holders has a further bearing surface which bears against a further external contact surface of the strut on which the at least two holders are fixed.

### Claim 2 (depends on 1)

The guide device according to claim 1, wherein at least one of the at least two holders has a tab or web which engages under the strut.

### Claim 3 (depends on 1)

The guide device according to claim 1, wherein at least one of the at least two holders embraces the strut in a U-shaped manner.

### Claim 4 (depends on 1)

The guide device according to claim 1, wherein at least one of the at least two holders has a first vertical connecting surface to which the stationary rail is welded and a second vertical surface which abuts the strut.

### Claim 5 (depends on 4)

The guide device according to claim 4, wherein the first vertical connecting surface and the second vertical surface are arranged offset to each other in the horizontal direction.

### Claim 6 (depends on 4)

The guide device according to claim 4, wherein the first vertical connecting surface and the second vertical surface are arranged in one plane in the horizontal direction.

### Claim 7 (depends on 1)

The guide device according to claim 1, wherein the strut is formed as a solid profile.

### Claim 8 (depends on 1)

The guide device according to claim 1, wherein the at least one strut is made of a bent steel sheet.

### Claim 9 (depends on 1)

The guide device according to claim 1, wherein the at least two holders fixing the stationary rail to the strut of the side grid comprises three holders are fixed to the stationary rail.

### Claim 10 (depends on 1)

The guide device according to claim 1, wherein the vertical extension of the strut corresponds to at least 40% of the vertical extension of the stationary rail.

### Claim 11 (depends on 1)

A baking oven with a baking oven muffle in which a guiding device according to claim 1 is provided on opposite sides.

### Claim 12 (depends on 1)

The guide device according to claim 1 wherein the rectangular cross-section of the strut has a vertical dimension and a horizontal dimension at least two times the vertical dimension.
