A device for reinforcing and ventilating furniture, includes at least one first longitudinal profile that has at least one line of through holes arranged along the longitudinal dimension thereof, and at least one second longitudinal profile, the at least first profile and the at least second profile being mutually joined along the same longitudinal dimension thereof.

An inflow nozzle for an intake opening of a device for downward extraction of cooking vapours has a supporting structure and a plurality of pin-like elements arranged on the supporting structure.

A cooking device includes a main body including an upper side and a lower side opposing each other, a cooking surface at the upper side of the main body, and an air shield generator which draws air from outside the main body, at the lower side of the main body, and provides the air to outside of the main body as an air shield which is at the upper side of the main body, adjacent to the cooking surface and flowing in a direction away from the cooking surface.

A countertop mounted cooking appliance includes a chassis upon which is arranged a cooktop. A peripheral side portion of the chassis includes at least one opening and a control box is mounted in the chassis for housing control elements and associated electronics. An inner duct extends over at least a portion of the control box, while an outer duct extends across the at least one opening along the peripheral side portion to the countertop. A fan is mounted within the chassis wherein, when the fan is activated, a cooling airflow is developed and directed through the inner duct, out of the chassis, and through the outer duct prior to being exhaust through a gap created between the cooktop and the countertop by a trim piece.

A cooktop has a top sheet; a space below the top sheet; a first passageway through the top sheet; a second passageway through the top sheet; a first gas burner that draws primary combustion air from the space below the top sheet; a first gas control knob that controls an amount of gas that flows to the first gas burner, the first gas control knob protruding through the first passageway; a second gas burner that draws primary combustion air from the space below the top sheet; and a second gas control knob that controls an amount of gas that flows to the second gas burner, the second gas control knob protruding through the second passageway. The first passageway and the second passageway have different airflow rates at a given negative air pressure in the space below the top sheet.

An induction cooktop includes: a cover plate with at least one cooking point; a holding plate; at least one inductive heating coil arranged between the cover plate and the holding plate; at least one electronics housing fastened to a side of the holding plate facing away from the at least one inductive heating coil and having electronics for the at least one inductive heating coil; and a lower box closing off the induction cooktop at a bottom of the induction cooktop, the lower box being open at a top thereof. The at least one electronics housing is arranged in the lower box. The holding plate covers the lower box at the top. The retaining plate is connected in a force-transmitting manner to the lower box in an assembly state of the induction cooktop.

An induction heating device includes a casing; a first induction heating module in the casing; a first heat sink located below the first induction heating module; a first heat pipe that passes through the first heat sink, that extends outward from the first induction heating module, and that is configured to discharge heat from the first heat sink out of the first induction heating module; an air-discharge fan located at an inner side of the casing and configured to discharge air from inside of the casing to outside of the casing; and a cooling fan located at the inner side of the casing and configured to blow air to the air-discharge fan. The first heat pipe has an end that protrudes from the first induction heating module and that is located at an air-flow path defined between the cooling fan and the air-discharge fan.

A home cooking appliance includes a housing, a cooktop on the housing, the cooktop having at least one gas burner, a cooking compartment in the housing and accessible through a door in a front of the housing, a cooling air system having a cooling fan that conveys cooling air through the housing, and an air guide between the cooktop and the cooking compartment, the air guide including an inlet located away from a space below the at least one gas burner of the cooktop and an outlet in fluid communication with the cooling fan, the air guide configured to restrict air from being drawn into the cooling fan from the space below the at least one gas burner of the cooktop.

A cooking appliance is provided. The cooking appliance may include an oven having a cooking chamber therein; a cooktop disposed at an upper portion of the oven and provided with at least one cooktop heating unit; an exhaust vent disposed at a rear of the cooktop; an exhaust duct that forms a passage that connects the cooking chamber and the exhaust vent; a space formed between the oven and the at least one cooktop heating unit; a cool air-exhaust duct that forms a passage that connects the space and the exhaust vent; and a guide duct that forms a passage diverged from the cool air-exhaust duct and extended toward a rear of the exhaust duct.

The invention is based on a protective device for a heating unit, in particular for a cooking apparatus (10), for protecting a heating unit against a hot air flow (44). To achieve an effective cooling effect, it is proposed that the protective device for a heating unit comprises a shielding element (68), which is provided for this purpose to shield a space (46) provided for a cold cooling air flow (42) for cooling the heating unit (14) against the hot air flow (44).
