An oven rack assembly (1000) includes an oven rack (1008) and a slide system (1018). The slide system (1018) includes slide devices (1020) positioned at opposing sides of the oven rack (1008). A subframe (1040) is positioned below the slide devices (1020). Retention/release devices (1062) are mounted on the slide devices (1020) and are manually operable by a user so as to selectively retain the subframe (1040) in a stationary position or, alternatively, release the subframe (1040) so that the subframe (1040) can be removed from the oven (128′).

A guide device for a cooking rack comprises a side grid and a pull-out guide with rails movable relative to one another, wherein a stationary rail can be fixed to a strut of the side grid via at least two holders, wherein at least the strut to which the at least two holders are fixed has a cross-section deviating from the circular shape, and at least one holder has a contact surface which lies flat against the strut. In this way, the pull-out guide can be firmly fixed to the strut.

A cooking apparatus includes a case including an inner case having a cooking chamber formed therein and an outer case configured to surround the inner case, and having an open front surface, a tray put on the cooking chamber, a door coupled to the front surface of the case and configured to selectively open and close the open front surface, an elevating device installed at left and right internal surfaces of the inner case and configured to move the tray in forward and backward directions and upward and downward directions, wherein the elevating device includes a fixed rail fixed to an internal side surface of the inner case, a moveable rail configured to slide and move in forward and backward directions in a state where the moveable rail is coupled to the fixed rail, a support link configured to connect a side surface of the tray and the moveable rail, and a manipulator connected to the moveable rail and the support link.

The present invention concerns a rolling body cage for a linear guide or telescopic rail having rail elements which are displaceable relative to each other, wherein the rolling body cage has at least one bottom portion extending in a longitudinal direction of the rolling body cage, side wall portions which are arranged parallel and which extend on mutually opposite sides of the bottom portion substantially perpendicularly therefrom and in which there are provided rolling body holding recesses for receiving and holding rolling bodies between the raceways of rail elements and at at least a first end of the rolling body cage a connecting bridge which extends between the side wall portions substantially perpendicularly thereto, wherein the bottom portion, the side wall portions and the connecting bridge are produced in one piece from a first plastic. It has been found that both abutment of the inner rail against the rolling body cage and also abutment of the rolling body cage against the end abutment of the outer rail can generate noise which is perceived to be annoying. Therefore an object of the present invention is to further reduce those abutment noises. To attain that object it is proposed according to the invention that a rolling body cage of the kind set forth in the opening part of this specification is provided, in which the connecting bridge at least on two mutually opposite end faces is surrounded by a damping element comprising a second plastic, wherein the second plastic is softer than the first plastic.

A rack assembly is mountable within a cooking cavity of an appliance. The rack assembly includes a slide rack defining a well opening and configured to removably support a rack insert in or through said well opening. A telescoping slide is coupled to said slide rack such that said slide rack is slidable between a fully retracted position and a forward position relative to said cooking cavity when mounted therein.

A shelving system for an appliance may include a sidewall adapter coupled to a side of a cabinet liner. The sidewall adapter may include a body defining at least one ledge and a base plate coupled to the at least one ledge. The base plate may define at least one aperture configured to receive a tab on a glide assembly. At least two adjustable fasteners may be coupled to the cabinet liner and may be configured to mount the sidewall adapter to the cabinet liner. A shelf may be coupled to the glide assemblies such that the shelf is slideable within the cabinet liner.

A cabinet and a slide rail kit thereof are disclosed. The cabinet includes an equipment body and a slide rail mechanism. The equipment body includes a first wall and a second wall. One of the first wall and the second wall is provided with a guiding path. The guiding path includes a blocking feature. The slide rail mechanism includes a supporting rail and a stop. The stop can be moved with respect to the supporting rail. When at a particular position, the stop can be blocked by the blocking feature of the guiding path to prevent the supporting rail from being displaced with respect to the equipment body from a predetermined position in a certain direction.

A heating cooking apparatus includes a heating chamber, a main body outer case, a fan, a first duct member, and an air sending unit The fan is disposed in a first space. The first space is formed between an outer surface of the heating chamber and an inner surface of the main body outer case. The first duct member is attached to the outer surface of the heating chamber. The first duct member separates a blown air flow into a first air flow and a second air flow. The first air flow flows inside the first duct member. The second air flow flows outside the first duct member. The air sending unit includes an air sending chamber and a heater. The heater is located in the air sending chamber. The air sending chamber is disposed at a position where the air sending chamber is exposed to the first air flow and is not exposed to the second air flow.

A telescopic slide for a microwave oven has a first slide element and a second slide element each having two running surfaces with caged rolling bodies arranged on the running surfaces. The slide elements can be moved along against each other between a retracted position and an extended position. The slide elements each have at least one electrically conductive contact element arranged on the slide elements in such a way that in the retracted position either the contact elements are directly in engagement or that the contact element of the first slide element and the contact element of the second slide element are each in engagement with an electrically conducting conductive element that is moved concomitantly with the rolling-body cage. The result is that in the retracted position there is an electrically conducting connection between the first and the second slide elements, and in at least one position other than the retracted position the electrically conducting connection is broken.

The present invention shows a telescopic rail having at least one inner, middle, and outer rail element, wherein the inner and outer rail elements are each longitudinally displaceably supported at the middle rail element over rolling members that are guided in a rolling member cage. Provision is made in accordance with a first aspect that the rail elements are mechanically force-coupled via a rail synchronization arrangement such that on a longitudinal displacement of the outer rail element with respect to the inner rail element, the middle rail element is longitudinally displaced with respect to both the inner rail element and the outer rail element. Provision is made in accordance with a second aspect that at least one rolling member cage, and preferably both rolling member cages, is/are mechanically force-coupled to at least one of the rail elements via a respective rolling member cage synchronization arrangement such that a longitudinal displacement of the middle rail element with respect to the inner or outer rail elements results in a longitudinal displacement of the corresponding rolling member cage with respect to the middle rail element.
