Exhaust closure system for a cooking oven

Abstract

The present invention relates to an exhaust closure system (10) for a cooking oven. Said exhaust closure system (10) is inter-connectable or interconnected between a top wall (30) of an oven cavity (40) and an exhaust channel. The exhaust closure system (10) comprises a lower casing (12) attachable or attached on the top wall (30) of the oven cavity (40) and including at least one inlet opening (22) in its bottom side. The exhaust closure system (10) comprises an upper casing (14) connectable or connected to the exhaust channel and including at least one outlet opening (24) in its top side. The lower casing (12) and the upper casing (14) are permanently or detachably jointed and form a housing of the exhaust closure system (10). A stationary plate (16) and a sliding plate (18) are arranged inside the housing and between the inlet opening (22) and the outlet opening (24). The stationary plate (16) and the sliding plate (18) lie against each other and include at least one opening (26, 28) in each case. The sliding plate (18) is slidable relating to the stationary plate (16) between a closed state and an opened state. The at least one opening (26) of the stationary plate (16) is covered by the sliding plate (18) in the closed state, while the at least one opening (28) of the sliding plate (18) is covered by the stationary plate (16) in the closed state. The openings (26, 28) of the stationary plate (16) and the sliding plate (18) overlap at least partially in the opened state. Further, the present invention relates to a cooking oven with at least one exhaust closure system (10).
