A cooking appliance (100) including: a hollow body (102) having an interior (110) to receive a product to be cooked, the body (102) having an opening (112) via which product to be cooked can be moved relative to the interior (110); a door (114) attached to the body (102) and movable relative thereto between a closed position at which the door (114) closes the opening, and a maximum open position at which the door (114) is spaced from the open position by a maximum predetermined distance; and a latch mechanism (122) operatively associated with the body (102) and the door (114) to at least aid in retaining the door (114) in at least one intermediate position at which the door (114) is spaced from the closed position and the maximum open position, the mechanism (122) including an abutment member (142) fixed to the body (102), and a position defining member (124) attached to the door (114) and the body (102), the position defining member (124) having a plurality of position defining portions including a first portion (123a), a second portion (123b), and a third portion (123c), with the first portion (123a) corresponding to the closed position, the second portion (123b) corresponding to the intermediate position, and the third portion (123c) corresponding to the maximum open position, with the position defining member (124) being urged into contact with the abutment member (142) so that the abutment member (142) engages with a selected one of the portions (123a-c) so as to at least aid in retaining the door (114) in a selected one of the positions.

The present invention relates to a cooking appliance which includes at least a muffle defining a cooking cavity, a frame and a door hinged to the frame. An aperture is provided in the frame for gaining access to the cooking cavity, the door allowing the aperture to be selectively opened and closed by means of a rotation of the door around a rotation axis. The cooking appliance further includes a latch assembly configured to establish a releasable engagement between the frame and the door when the door is in the closed position, the latch assembly comprising at least a latch member and at least a latch receiver having respective engagement portions. One between the latch member and the latch receiver is applied to the frame adjacently to a first side of the aperture, the first side of the aperture being the side of the aperture farthest from the rotation axis V, whilst the other between the latch member and the latch receiver is integral to an insert coupled to the door and is applied adjacently to a first side of the door, the first side of the door being the side of the door farthest from the rotation axis V.

Provided is a push-to-open latch for an oven appliance and other household appliances. The push-to-open latch includes an integrated locking device for locking an appliance door in place and initiate a downstream appliance function such as a self-cleaning function. The integrated locking device includes a rotating cam having a latching slot which engages a pawl. The rotating cam also includes a guiding ramp and a catch surface which may be used to engage a latching finger to lock the cam in place. In addition, the locking device may include a locking slide and a locking slide pin that is actuated by a solenoid to engage the cam. Once the appliance door is locked, one or more switches send a signal to the appliance controller to activate the downstream function.

A household appliance contains a part that is releasably attached onto to the household appliance through a snap-fit connection. The part is provided with two or more engagement sites including a first engagement site and a second engagement site distributed around an axis along a direction to be followed at a process for releasably securing of the part. Each of the first engagement site and the second engagement site has a different respective orthogonal projection on the axis.

A home appliance in which an opening and closing operation of a door and a turning operation of a handle are connected through five joints, so that the turning operation of the handle can be performed smoothly, and a latch for fixing the door to a body moves to a position parallel to the door when the door is opened, so that a user is prevented from being interfered with the latch while opening the door and using a cavity of the home appliance.

The present invention relates to a door lock system (10) for an appliance, in particular for a domestic appliance, preferably for a cooking oven. The door lock system (10) comprises a hook element (14) pivotable around a pivot axis between an unlocked released state and a locked released state and movable along a main axis perpendicular to said pivot axis between the locked released state and locked pulled state. The door lock system (10) comprises a first sliding member (18) movable along the main axis and provided for pivoting the hook element (14) to the locked released state. The door lock system (10) comprises at least one further sliding member (20, 22) movable along the main axis and provided for pulling the hook element (14) to the locked pulled state.

The present disclosure relates to an oven including a main body including a cooking chamber, a door rotatably coupled to the main body to open and close the cooking chamber, and a door locking device to lock the door not to be open with respect to the main body, wherein the door locking device includes a cam to be rotatable and including a plurality of first contact parts and a plurality of second contact parts, a lock releasing guide to linearly move to selectively come into contact with the plurality of first contact parts, and a locker to come into contact with the plurality of second contact parts and coupled to a locker holder provided in the door when coming into the plurality of second contact parts. Other various embodiments are possible.

A home appliance is provided. The home appliance includes a main body having an accommodation space, a first door rotatably coupled to the main body to open and close the accommodation space and having an opening, a second door rotatably coupled to the first door to open and close the opening, and a locking device configured to fix or separate the first door to or from the main body or fix or separate the second door to or from the first door. The locking device includes a main ring unit, an operating lever configured to separate the second door from the first door by pressure, and a dual opening preventing member configured to maintain a fixed state of the second door with respect to the first door when the operating lever is pressed in a state in which the first door is open.

Provided is a door latch including a latch mechanism, secured to an appliance such as a self-cleaning oven, which locks an appliance door to the appliance. The latch mechanism includes a latch bracket mounted to a surface of the appliance. A latch hook is mounted within the latch bracket for reciprocal movement between locking and unlocking positions. The latch hook pivotally engages a receptacle mounted on the door, to lock the door to the appliance. A flexible cable is retained inside a flexible conduit. A first end of the flexible cable is connected to the latch hook for displacing the latch hook into the locking position for pivotal engagement with the receptacle. An electric actuator is connected to a second end of the flexible cable for producing operative movement of the flexible cable within the flexible conduit to displace the latch hook between the locking and unlocking positions.
