Abstract
An oven rack assembly including full extension slides. Full extension slides are mounted to an oven rack and oven rack frames or wire racks providing full extension of an oven rack from an oven enclosure. The rack frame is mounted to oven walls or the slides are coupled to wire racks along oven slide walls.
Claims18
An oven rack assembly for mounting to a pair of wire frames each having a plurality of cross bars, each cross bar having at least a first section extending generally longitudinally, the assembly comprising:
- a pair of extendable slide assemblies, each slide assembly including a first longitudinal member and at least a second longitudinal member coupled to and configured to be extendable and retractable relative to the first longitudinal member along a generally longitudinal path;
- a pair of first coupling members, each first coupling member extending from proximate a rear of a corresponding first longitudinal member and comprising,
- a first portion defining a generally vertical slot for vertically receiving a single cross bar corresponding to its corresponding first longitudinal member for releasably mounting said corresponding first longitudinal member to said corresponding single cross bar, and
- a second portion, said second portion being longitudinally spaced apart along said longitudinal path from said generally vertical slot, said second portion projecting under said corresponding single cross bar;
- and
- an oven rack mounted to the second longitudinal members.
An oven assembly with an extendable and retractable rack, the assembly comprising:
- a pair of wire frames each having a plurality of cross bars, each cross bar having at least a first section extending generally longitudinally;
- a pair of extendable slide assemblies, each slide assembly including a first longitudinal member and at least a second longitudinal member coupled to and configured to be extendable and retractable relative to the first longitudinal member along a generally longitudinal path;
- an oven rack mounted to the second longitudinal members;
- and
- a pair of first coupling members, each said first coupling member extending from proximate a rear of a corresponding first longitudinal member and comprising:
- a first portion defining a generally vertical slot for vertically receiving a single cross bar corresponding to its corresponding first longitudinal member for releasably mounting said corresponding first longitudinal member to said corresponding single cross bar;
- and
- a second portion, said second portion being longitudinally spaced apart along said longitudinal path from said generally vertical slot, said second portion projecting under said corresponding single cross bar.

- a second portion, said second portion being longitudinally spaced apart along said longitudinal path from said generally vertical slot, said second portion projecting under said corresponding single cross bar;
- and
- a third portion extending longitudinally along said path between the first and second portions of said first coupling member;
- and
- a pair of second coupling members, each second coupling member extending from proximate a front portion of a corresponding first longitudinal member, said second coupling member defining a vertical slot for receiving the cross bar corresponding to its corresponding first longitudinal member and allowing for engagement with a second section of its corresponding cross bar which is transverse to the first section of its corresponding cross bar.
