The present disclosure relates a shelf support device and a cooking appliance with the same. The shelf support device includes a rail extending in forward and backward directions to locate a front end portion over a rear end portion, including an upper surface portion and a lower surface portion; and a support unit at which a shelf is mounted at an upper portion of the support unit, coupled to the rail to be movable along the movement path formed by each of the upper surface portion and the lower surface portion, and configured to change a position of the shelf in an upward direction when being moved in the forward direction and the position of the shelf in a downward direction when being moved in the backward direction.

A drawer slide assembly for use with a domestic home appliance having a main body and a drawer. The assembly includes a slide bracket configured to be non-movably attached to the main body, the slide bracket having a first engagement portion; a slide having a first part having a second engagement portion, the first part being attached to the slide bracket by the second engagement portion slidably engaging the first engagement portion, and a second part configured to be non-movably attached to the drawer such that the second part is positionally fixed relative to the drawer; and a slide retainer attached to the slide bracket and preventing the second part of the slide from moving.

A slide rail locking device includes an upper locking plate coupling a supporting bar mounted on an inside wall of a main body and a slide rail fixed to a side or bottom surface of a drawer, located above the supporting bar, and locked into the slide rail, a lower locking plate located below the supporting bar, a connection plate connecting the upper locking plate and the lower locking plate, and an extended plate formed by being bulged down from the lower locking plate to face the upper locking plate. A gap is formed between the slide rail locking device and a vertical supporting bar, whereby undesired movement of the slide rail locking device generated by a drawing motion of the drawer being drawn out of and retracted into the main body may be offset.

A household appliance or commercial appliance includes a housing surrounding an interior and a support device removable from the interior and a rail system with at least two rails connected to one another and movable relative to one another, and a support element. When the support device is in an installed state, the rail system is mounted on the housing such that the support element is movable relative to the housing by pulling out the rail system. A locking unit arranged on the support device has at least one locking element that can be transferred between a blocking state and a free state. When the support device is in its removed state physically separated from the housing, the locking unit blocks the rail system from being pulled out. When the support device is in its installed state, the locking element allows the rail system to be pulled out.

A cooking appliance includes a cabinet that defines an exterior of the cooking appliance, a cooking unit provided within the cabinet, the cooking unit configured to perform cooking using a first heat source, a drawer provided under the cooking unit, the drawer configured to perform cooking using a second heat source and to be inserted in and withdrawn from the cabinet, and a damping module configured to absorb a closing shock transmitted to the drawer based on the drawer being closed by being inserted into the cabinet.

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.

Systems and methods for an oven include a housing, a heating chamber positioned within the housing, at least one oven door to provide access to the heating chamber, an external nesting rack positionable on or near the housing, and a movable cook surface, the movable cook surface movable between a position within the heating chamber and a position at least partially external to the heating chamber, such that when the movable cook surface is in the position at least partially external to the heating chamber, the movable cook surface is positioned at least partially recessed below a top surface of the external nesting rack. One or more heat packs can be included to provide variable forms of heat to the heating chamber.

A quick-fastening element is provided for fastening a guide rail to two adjacent horizontally extending bars arranged in a vertically superposed and parallel relationship. The quick-fastening element has a first holding portion adapted for a positively locking engagement with a first horizontally extending bar of the two adjacent horizontally extending bars, a second holding portion adapted for a positively locking engagement with a second horizontally extending bar of the two adjacent horizontally extending bars, and a connecting portion between the first and second holding portions and connecting the first and second holding portions. Each of the first and second holding portions extends from the connecting portion to one side in angled relationship to the connecting portion fastenably between the two adjacent horizontally extending bars. The connecting portion is configured for fastening the guide rail.

The invention relates to a pull-out guide, in particular for a domestic appliance or a piece of furniture, comprising a stationary guide rail and a running rail which is movably mounted on the guide rail. A damping device comprising a fluid damper which acts on one side is provided on the guide rail, said fluid damper having a damper housing and a piston rod which can be pushed into and drawn out of the damper housing. A first activator acts on the damping device shortly before reaching a closed position during a closing movement of the running rail in order to brake the movement of the running rail. A second activator acts on the damping device shortly before reaching the maximum open position during an opening movement of the running rail in order to brake the movement of the running rail. The pull-out guide is preferably used in a domestic appliance, in particular in a dishwasher.

A shelf supporting apparatus and a cooking appliance including a shelf supporting apparatus are provided. The shelf supporting apparatus may include a pair of fixing frames provided to face each other on opposite sides of a chamber which is opened and closed by a door; a pair of supports provided to have a length which is changeable in a frontward-rearward direction, the pair of supports being, respectively, coupled to the pair of fixing frames and having a shelf mounted thereon; coupling members provided on the pair of fixing frames and coupling the pair of supports to the pair of fixing frames to be position-changeable in the frontward-rearward direction; and a pair of connecting members that, respectively, connects the pair of supports and the door, and changing positions of the pair of supports in the frontward-rearward direction in conjunction with a rotation of the door.
