(9) The oven (1) comprises a body (2), at least one oven cavity (3) disposed inside the body (2), a casing (4) surrounding the oven cavity (3) and at least one opening (5) disposed on the casing (4) (FIG. 1).

(10) The oven (1) comprises at least one discharge pipe (6, 106), providing the hot and humid air to be delivered to the exterior environment, one end connected to the opening (5) and at least one carrier (8) mounted on the body (2) whereto the other end of the discharge pipe (6, 106) is connected (FIG. 2). Thus, the hot and humid air inside the oven cavity (3) is delivered to the exterior environment by leaving the opening (5) and passing through the discharge pipe (6, 106) and the carrier (8) (FIG. 1 and FIG. 2).

(11) The oven (1) comprises at least one transmitting member (9, 109) that provides the assembly of the carrier (8) on the body (2). A metal screw or a housing formed from metal material all around wherein the screw is fitted is used as the transmitting member (9, 109). The transmitting member (9, 109) transmits the electric current to metal surfaces.

(12) The oven (1) comprises at least one resilient element (12), produced from metal material, one end surrounding the discharge pipe (6, 106) by contacting the discharge pipe (6, 106), the other end fastened on the carrier (8) so as to contact the transmitting member (9, 109), providing the grounding of electricity by connecting the discharge pipe (6, 106) and the body (2) to each other, maintaining the connection between the metal surfaces by means of the transmitting member (9, 109). The resilient element (12) of the present invention is formed by shaping a metal wire having resilient features (FIG. 4). The resilient element (12) is placed so as to contact the metal surface of the transmitting member (9, 109) on the carrier (8).

(13) The end of the resilient element (12) contacting the discharge pipe (6, 106) prevents dislodging of the discharge pipe (6, 106) from the carrier (8) by surrounding the discharge pipe (6, 106). The resilient element (12) surrounds at least partially the discharge pipe (6, 106) so as to form almost circular shape externally, such that the discharge pipe (6, 106) is seated on one end of the elastic metal wire, and forms a housing for the discharge pipe (6, 106). Surrounding of the discharge pipe (6, 106) by the resilient element (12) provides securing of the discharge pipe (6, 106) after being fitted on the carrier (8).

(14) The resilient element (12) is disposed between the carrier (8) and the body (2). The resilient element (12) of elastic structure does not entirely contact the body (2) surface and the metal surfaces of the transmitting member (9, 109) on the carrier (8) due to its elastic structure when disposed in a position to surround the discharge pipe (6, 106). The resilient element (12) must be squeezed in between the carrier (8) and the body (2) in order to provide contact of the metal surfaces. Thus, the probable electric leak is delivered from the metal surfaces contacting each other to the ground.

(15) In an embodiment of the present invention, the oven (1) comprises at least two detent means (11, 101) disposed on the carrier (8) that provide securing of the resilient element (12) (FIG. 5 and FIG. 6). Thus, the problem of not being able to contact the transmitting members (9, 109) in case the resilient element (12) cannot be secured is eliminated. The resilient element (12) configured by bending an elastic metal wire, is provided to contact the transmitting member (9, 109) and the discharge pipe (6, 106) by being supported with the detent means (11, 101). In the case of a probable electric leak, the electric current flowing towards the discharge pipe (6, 106) from the surface of the metal casing (4) and/or by one or several live ends of the electric cables contacting the discharge pipe (6, 106) is delivered to the body (2) by passing through the transmitting member (9, 109) which is metal, by means of the resilient element (12). Thus, grounding is realized.

(16) In a derivative of this embodiment of the present invention, the oven (1) comprises two detent means (11, 101) that are positioned one over the other so as to face each other oppositely. The resilient element (12), contacted with the discharge pipe (6, 106) and the transmitting members (9, 109) is positioned by being squeezed with the detent means (11, 101). Thus, the resilient element (12) is secured and grounding is realized.

(17) In an embodiment of the present invention, the oven (1) comprises two discharge pipes (6, 106). The resilient element (12) has two separate clamps (13, 103) that take the shape of almost a circle for surrounding the discharge pipes (6, 106). The clamps (13, 103) are disposed in the horizontal plane and provide securing of the discharge pipe (6, 106) to the carrier (8) by surrounding it and prevent the discharge pipe (6, 106) from dislodging. The clamps (13, 103) at least partially surround the cross-section of the discharge pipe (6, 106). The resilient element (12) has two arms (14, 104) that extend from one end of the clamps (13, 103) almost vertically to the plane wherein the clamps (13, 103) are located and a connecting rod (10) maintains continuous contact of the metal surfaces that extends along the plane where the transmitting member (9, 109) joining the arms (14, 104) is disposed on the carrier (8). The arms (14, 104) extend towards the transmitting member (9, 109), approximately from the level of the discharge pipes (6, 106), almost vertically to the clamps (13, 103) and in the direction to be placed in between the detent means (11, 101) (FIG. 4). The resilient element (12) takes almost U shape in the portion of the transmitting member (9, 109) situated on the carrier (8). The resilient element (12) is bent so as to contact the metal surface of the transmitting member (9, 109) on the carrier (8) and makes bends as much as the number of transmitting members (9, 109). The probable leaks on the oven (1) are prevented by grounding by means of this shape of the resilient element (12).

(18) In an embodiment of the present invention, the carrier (8) comprises at least one hollow nipple (7, 107) that extends towards into the body (2). One end of the discharge pipe (6, 106) is connected to the carrier (8) by being mounted to the nipple (7, 107). The nipple (7, 107) provides securing of the discharge pipe (6, 106) since it is placed on the interior surface of the discharge pipe (6, 106). Thus, the discharge pipe (6, 106) is secured and electricity is provided to be delivered to the ground by flowing through the resilient element (12).

(19) In a derivative of this embodiment of the present invention, the surface of the nipple (7, 107) where the discharge pipe (6, 106) is disposed and whereto one end of the discharge pipe (6, 106) is connected, is serrated. The serrated surface provides the discharge pipe (6, 106) to be attached. The nipple (7, 107) provides the discharge pipe (6, 106) to be connected more firmly by means of this surface.

(20) In an embodiment of the present invention, the transmitting member (9, 109) is a screw. The carrier (8) is mounted on the body (2) by means of the screw (9,109). The resilient element (12) is disposed so as to contact the surface of the housing (10) wherein the screw (9, 109) is positioned on the carrier (8) and makes bends so as to surround the surface of the screw (9, 109) on the carrier (8). The resilient element (12) is shaped so as to increase the metal surface contact. The resilient element (12) makes bends as much as the number of screws (9, 109). The reason for this is to provide continuity of the metal-metal connection. Accordingly, in case of a probable electric leak, electricity flow is made continuous with the metal-metal connection in the flow path of electricity to the ground and grounding is provided.

(21) In an embodiment of the present invention, the transmitting member (9, 109) is in the form of a metal insert produced from metal material and integrated on the carrier (8). A housing, produced from metal material, is disposed on the transmitting member (9, 109) wherein the metal parts are seated that provide connecting of the carrier (8) to the body (2). Thus, the metal surfaces are connected to each other and realize grounding.

(22) In an embodiment of the present invention, the carrier (8) is produced from plastic material. In producing the carrier (8) from plastic material, the molding process is made more easily as compared with metal materials. Thus, cost advantage is provided.

(23) By means of the present invention, grounding in the oven (1) is made by means of the resilient element (12) for protecting the user from probable electric leaks. The resilient element (12) which is metal, connects the metal surfaces to each other and electricity on the oven (1) is provided to be discharged by delivering probable electric leaks from the metal surfaces to the body (2). Consequently, an oven (1) with high safety standards is realized and the user is protected from a probable electric leak upon contacting the oven cavity (3), which is easily accessible by the user, for the aims of cleaning, placing foodstuffs etc.

(24) It is to be understood that the present invention is not limited to the embodiments disclosed above and a person skilled in the art can easily introduce different embodiments. These should be considered within the scope of the protection postulated by the claims of the present invention.
