Abstract
Traction bearing and rod joint to anchor a sliding shelf set to an oven door, the bearing (1) being made of engineering plastic, stainless steel or another compatible material, and is designed to be installed on the internal glass or surface of the counter door (P) of the stove (F1) by fitting into an orifice. The locking of the bearing (1) in this orifice is held by the provision of a beveled skirt (7) and a collar (6), both applied on the outer surface of the bearing (1). The tensile bearing has a longitudinal slot (2) and a channel (4) that communicate with each other to allow docking and rotation of the end (E) of a rod (H) of the set of shelves (PD) when the door (P) of the oven (F1) is opened or closed.
Claims13
A traction bearing and rod joint to anchor a sliding shelf set to an oven door to act as an anchoring element for end rotation of a rod from the sliding shelf set;
- wherein the traction bearing is cylindrical and provided with central longitudinal slot, with thickness, beginning at a base of the bearing and extending until reaching a transversal channel, the transversal channel passing through a head of the bearing and having a diameter substantially equivalent to an external diameter of the end of the rod;
- wherein the longitudinal slot divides the bearing in two portions and flexible between them;
- wherein the base has a collar and a beveled skirt above the collar that is tapered such that a diameter at an upper portion of the beveled skirt is smaller than a diameter at a lower portion of the beveled skirt, the lower portion being located farther from the transversal channel than the upper portion;
- wherein a recessed space is located between the lower portion of the beveled skirt and the collar for housing an orifice edge of an orifice of the oven door;
- wherein the beveled skirt comprises a frustoconical surface that extends at least partially about a central axis of the traction bearing;
- and
- wherein the traction bearing is configured to be anchored to the oven door by inserting the head and the beveled skirt of traction bearing through the orifice;
- and
- wherein a diameter of the collar is substantially greater than the diameter at the lower portion of the beveled skirt.
