Disclosed herein is a cooking appliance including a hinge assembly which withdraws a tray forward from inside a cooking compartment by interlocking with rotation of a door when the door is opened and inserts the tray rearward toward the inside of the cooking compartment by interlocking with rotation of the door when the door is closed.

A portable baking oven has an upper portion and a lower portion that define a baking chamber are disclosed. A baking chamber opening may be defined entirely by the oven upper portion. The upper portion may pivot away from the lower portion to allow access to the interior of the oven for cleaning. The oven may include a gas-powered infrared bottom burner and a gas-powered curved back burner.

Disclosed herein is a cooking appliance including a door formed including a door upper surface part which covers an upper surface of a housing and a door front surface part which is connected to a front side of the door upper surface part and covers a front surface of the housing, wherein an input part is disposed in the door front surface part.

A toaster oven system includes a main body, a heating element, a front door, and a top door. The main body has a cooking cavity for holding food, and in which the heating element is disposed. The main body also has a front side and a top side, with the front side defining a front opening of the main body, and the top side defining a top opening of the main body. The front door is hingedly attached to the main body and movable between a closed position and an opened position. The top door is hingedly attached to the main body and movable between a closed position and an opened position. The food is insertable or removable by the user through either the front opening or the top opening when an associated one of the front door and the top door is in the opened position.

Proposed is a door hinge. More particularly, there is provided a door hinge which is conveniently assembled, has a minimized shape, and above all, enables a closing force to be applied to a door so that when the door is opened, high-temperature heat is inhibited from being released from inside an apparatus on which the door hinge is installed.

A home appliance includes a door coupled with a cabinet of the home appliance and moveable about a vertical axis between open and closed positions. A lower hinge assembly moveably couples a lower portion of the door with the cabinet. A mounting assembly is configured to support an upper portion of the door relative to the cabinet until the upper portion of the door is coupled with the cabinet and includes a first bracket supporting a pivot pin and a second bracket including a slot configured to receive the pivot pin therein. When the lower portion of the door is coupled to the cabinet by the lower hinge assembly and the pivot pin is received within the slot, the mounting assembly is configured to maintain the upper portion of the door in vertical alignment with the lower portion along the vertical axis.

A method for data communication with a domestic appliance by a mobile computer device. The domestic appliance and the mobile computer device are interconnected or interconnectable via a wireless data connection. The wireless data connection is adapted for transferring signals between the domestic appliance and the mobile computer device. Further, the present invention relates to application software for the mobile computer device. Moreover, the present invention relates to a domestic appliance. Additionally, the present invention relates to a mobile computer device including a display or touch screen.

A cooker device includes a main body that defines a cooking chamber and that defines an opening at a front of the main body, a door configured to open and close at least a portion of the opening, an opening assembly configured to apply force to the door and cause the door to pivot relative to the main body based on the force, a proximity sensor configured to sense a proximity of an object located in front of the cooker device, an input interface configured to receive an opening command based on the proximity of the object sensed by the proximity sensor, a control unit configured to, based on the opening command, control the opening assembly to apply force to the door, and a display that is configured to indicate an operating state of the cooker device.

A method of counterbalancing a dishwasher door pivotal about a range of rotation between an opened position and a closed position on a dishwasher cabinet. The method comprises applying a varying counterbalancing force to the dishwasher door throughout the range of rotation to effect at least two of true-hold, auto-close, or slow-open of the door.

An appliance includes a hinge module between a main body and a pull-down door. The hinge module includes a housing, a rotational axis member disposed in the housing serving as a center of rotation between the pull-down door and the main body, an inner link housing movably disposed in the housing that moves with the opening of the pull-down door in a direction of the rotational axis member, and a damper installed in the inner link housing, the damper including a piston and a cylinder and providing damping force according to a relative movement of the piston and the cylinder. Any one of the piston and the cylinder of the damper moves with the inner link housing and the other of the piston and the cylinder of the damper moves by a predetermined distance as the inner link housing moves and then is interfered by the housing so as not to move further, and the piston and the cylinder of the damper starts damping, wherein the predetermined distance corresponds to an opening angle of the pull-down door in which the damping is started.
