Abstract
A rail system for food supports in a baking oven provides for a construction which can be fabricated economically, and possesses improved features, including the ability to pull out the food support from the oven, or even to in front of the oven, in a stable, easily slidable manner without tipping. The device includes telescopic rails which are adaptable for positioning outside an oven muffle for longer, more dependable operation and life expectancy by avoiding constantly high oven temperatures, exposure to food and spattering fats or other evaporating liquids.

A rail system for food supports in a baking oven, which comprises:
- (i) a food support with first and second side sections, a front portion, holding brackets substantially parallel to said first and second side sections of said food support and a connecting portion between said holding brackets engaging with the front portion of the food support forming a substantially U-shaped configuration, and
- (ii) telescopic rails each comprising a stationary rail for fastening to or behind the side wall of an oven muffle, a displaceable inner rail movable relative to said stationary rail into and out from said oven, and a receiving tube adjacent to said displaceable inner rail, said receiving tube adapted for receiving and engaging with a holding bracket of said food support.
A food support for a baking oven comprising a food support with first and second side sections, a front portion, and holding brackets connected to said front portion of said food support by means of a substantially U-shaped connecting portion extending so said holding brackets are substantially parallel to said first and second side sections of said food support, said holding brackets comprising a hook adapted to engage with mounting rails of said oven.
