Hinge support

A hinge support for an oven door, comprising:

• a support plate defining a first aperture and a second aperture;
• a coupling feature operably coupled to the support plate and extending through the second aperture;
• a pivot operably coupled to the coupling feature and having an anchor arm extending from a base, the anchor arm disposed within the first aperture defined by the support plate, the pivot having a cylindrical body with a proximal end coupled to the base and a distal end, the pivot defining a single coplanar raised surface extending across a diameter of the distal end of the cylindrical body and curved graduated surfaces extending from the single coplanar raised surface to recessed surfaces, wherein the single coplanar raised surface has a central flat portion at a center axis of the distal end and side flat portions on opposing sides of the central flat portion along the diameter of the distal end;
• a cap operably coupled to the pivot, the cap defining a sloped surface configured to translate along the graduated surfaces of the pivot;
• and
• an engagement plate defining an opening and disposed around the cap, wherein the cap and the engagement plate are configured to translate between a first position and a second position.

A hinge support, comprising:

• a support plate defining a first aperture and a second aperture;
• a pivot having an anchor arm disposed within the first aperture defined by the support plate, the pivot having a raised surface forming a single coplanar surface extending across a diameter of a distal end thereof, a recessed surface, and a curved graduated surface defined between the raised surface and the recessed surface, wherein the raised surface has a flat portion positioned at a center axis of the distal end;
• a cap disposed over and operably coupled to the pivot, the cap having a projecting surface, a receiving surface forming a single coplanar surface extending across a diameter of an enclosed end of the cap having a flat portion at a center axis of the enclosed end, and a sloped surface defined between the projecting surface and the receiving surface, wherein the receiving surface has a greater width at outer ends compared to a center thereof;
• and
• an engagement plate defining an opening and disposed around the cap, wherein the cap and the engagement plate are configured to translate between a first position and a second position relative to the support plate.
