Estimating the term…
The present invention relates to an oven door (12) for a microwave oven (10) or for an oven with microwave heating function. The oven door (12) comprises a wave choke system (20) formed as or within a door frame of said oven door (12). The wave choke system (20) encloses a see-through area of the oven door (12). The wave choke system (20) includes a frame part (22) and a plurality of wave choke elements (26). The frame part (22) includes a base plate (24), on which the wave choke elements (26) are fastened. The base plate (24) is arranged parallel to a main plane of the oven door (12). The wave choke elements (26) are serially arranged along the frame part (22) and enclose at least partially the see-through area of the oven door (12). The wave choke element (26) is formed as a U-shaped metal stripe. The series of wave choke elements (26) on the base plate (24) form a wavelike ribbon. A notch (46) is formed in the central portion of the wave choke element (26), so that the central portion of the wave choke element (26) is smaller than the open end portion of said wave choke element (26). The notches (46) of the wave choke elements (26) are provided for receiving an inner glass panel (34) of the oven door (10), wherein at least two neighboured wave choke elements (26) arranged along the same side of the oven door (12) include aligned notches (46) for receiving the same edge of the inner glass panel (34). Further, the present invention relates to a wave choke system (20) for an oven door (12) of a microwave oven (10) or of an oven with microwave heating function. Moreover, the present invention relates to a microwave oven (10) or an oven with microwave heating function.
An oven door for a microwave oven or for an oven with microwave heating function, wherein the oven door comprises a wave choke system formed as or within a door frame of said oven door, the wave choke system encloses a see-through area of the oven door, the wave choke system includes a frame part and a plurality of wave choke elements, the frame part includes a base plate on which the wave choke elements are fastened, the base plate is arranged parallel to a main plane of the oven door, the wave choke elements are serially arranged along the frame part and enclose at least partially the see-through area of the oven door, each wave choke element being formed as a U-shaped metal stripe, and the series of wave choke elements on the base plate form a wavelike ribbon, wherein a notch is formed in the central portion of each wave choke element so that the central portion of each wave choke element is smaller than the open end portion of said wave choke element, wherein the notches of the wave choke elements are provided for receiving an inner glass panel of the oven door, and wherein at least two neighboring wave choke elements arranged along one side of the oven door include aligned notches for receiving a common edge of the inner glass panel.
The microwave oven or the oven with microwave heating function according to claim 18, comprising at least one gasket, wherein said gasket is clamped between the front frame and the outer portion of the inner glass panel in a closed state of the oven door.
