Oven light with axial locking mechanism

A cooking appliance light, comprising:

• a light glass arranged at a top side of the cooking appliance light;
• a socket arranged at a bottom side of the cooking appliance light, wherein a geometric center axis of the cooking appliance light runs vertically through the socket;
• a neck arranged at a bottom side of the light glass, the neck including at least one groove arrangement including an axially extending vertical groove and an adjoining circumferentially extending horizontal groove wherein the axially extending vertical groove and the circumferentially extending horizontal groove are radially open and engageable by a locking bar,
• wherein the axially extending vertical groove includes an axially oriented locking bar entry opening,
• wherein the circumferentially extending horizontal groove includes an axially upward oriented locking bar support surface including a safety protrusion and a movement stop at an end that is distal from the axially extending vertical groove;
• an attachment bracket forming the locking bar that is fixed at the socket and that radially engages the groove arrangement after performing an insertion and rotation movement so that the light glass is attached at the socket;
• and
• a contact flange that is part of the socket and in contact with the light glass,
• wherein the attachment bracket includes a spring arrangement that supports the locking bar;
• wherein the locking bar includes an axially downward oriented locking bar surface that contacts the axially upward oriented locking bar support surface,
• wherein the spring arrangement imparts an axially downward force upon the light glass that retains the light glass at the contact flange.
