Abstract
A microwave choke assembly includes a microwave choke, a glass capture channel coupled to the microwave choke, and a gasket positioned at least partially within the glass capture channel, the glass capture channel and a window separated by a first distance.
Claims19
A microwave choke assembly comprising:
- a microwave choke;
- a glass capture channel coupled to said microwave choke, said glass capture channel comprises a first side, a second side substantially perpendicular to said first side, and a third side substantially perpendicular to said second side and substantially parallel to said first side;
- and
- a gasket positioned at least partially within said glass capture channel, said glass capture channel and a window separated by a first distance.
1 more element
An oven comprising:
- a cooking cavity;
- an RF generation module positioned within said cooking cavity;
- a convection fan positioned within said cooking cavity;
- a window comprising an interior surface and an exterior surface, said window positioned within a door for viewing said cooking cavity;
- and
- a microwave choke assembly comprising:
- a microwave choke;
- a glass capture channel coupled to said microwave choke and extending along at least a portion of said interior surface of said window, said glass capture channel comprises a first side, a second side substantially perpendicular to said first side, and a third side substantially perpendicular to said second side and substantially parallel to said first side;
- and
- a gasket positioned at least partially within said glass capture channel, said glass capture channel and said window separated by a first distance;
- said gasket comprising only an inner layer and an outer layer, said inner layer comprising a metallic mesh, said outer layer comprising a fiberglass material.
