Definitions

  • a steam oven comprising an endless gasket which ensures a homogeneous sealing behaviour between a cooking chamber and a corresponding closure member of the steam oven and which can be easily installed shall be provided.
  • the gasket as well as the reinforcement sleeve may have any outer contour, for example a profiled outer contour.
  • the at least one longitudinally extending hollow chamber of the gasket and also the hollow interior of the reinforcement sleeve can have a cross section of any form.
  • the gasket may be a tubular gasket of any outer contour with or without one or more sealing lips wherein the hollow interior of the gasket forms a longitudinally extending hollow chamber.
  • the gasket may also be a so-called "hollow section gasket", a gasket providing one or more longitudinally extending hollow chambers with any outer contour and with or without sealing lips. If the gasket provides more than one longitudinally extending hollow chamber only one, some or all may provide a reinforcement sleeve. Adapted to the requirements of the cooking appliance different types of reinforcement sleeves may be used in the several hollow chambers.
  • the invention is based on the recognition that a butt joint is a weak point in a gasket which shall be used to provide a sealing between the cooking chamber of a steam oven and its oven door. If the butt joint breaks open the free ends of the gasket can come loose and the effectiveness of sealing is lessened or even no longer existent.
  • the glass fibre fabric is knitted or braided.
  • Dependent on mesh size of the fabric or strength of braiding the flexibility of the reinforcement sleeve can be adapted to the flexibility of the gasket.
  • Especially the flexibility of the reinforcement sleeve can be reduced in a targeted manner, so that its flexibility is lower in comparison to the flexibility of the gasket for better protection of the butt joint or rather the splice from ripping or breaking open.
  • the reinforcement sleeve is made from a combination of glass fibre fabric and wire fabric.
  • the reinforcement sleeve comprises a sleeve made from glass fibre fabric which is surrounded by a sleeve of wire fabric or vice versa.
  • glass fibres and wires are knitted or braided with each other to form a sleeve.
  • the flexibility of the reinforcement sleeve can easily adapted to provide a suited support of the butt joint or rather the splice.
  • the reinforcement sleeve extends at least 1 cm to 5 cm, particularly 3 cm, within the gasket in both directions with respect to the butt joint. That means the reinforcement sleeve has a total length of at least 2 to 10 cm, particularly 6 cm in case of a symmetrical arrangement of the reinforcement sleeve in the gasket with respect to the butt joint.
  • the bottom part of the fastening element can be passed through this openings as well whereby a connection between the reinforcement sleeve and the gasket can be built and unintentional shifting or movement of the reinforcement sleeve can be avoided and a good sealing quality and support of the butt joint can be ensured.
  • the reinforcement sleeve can be additionally fixed to the gasket by an adhesive as aforementioned.
  • the gasket is fixed to the structure surrounding the cooking chamber or to the closure member by an adhesive and / or by at least one fastening element.
  • the same adhesive could be used for fixing the gasket to the structure surrounding the cooking chamber or to the closure member.
  • the reinforcement sleeve is fixed to the gasket by at least one fastening element with a hook-shaped or loop-shaped upper part this upper part can be used to fix the gasket to the structure surrounding the cooking chamber or to the closure member assumed that a corresponding counterpart is provided.
  • the fastening element has a double function, namely fixation of the reinforcement sleeve to the gasket and fixation of the gasket to the structure surrounding the cooking chamber or to the corresponding closure member.
  • FIG. 1 shows a schematic plan view of an opened steam oven 2.
  • the steam oven 2 has a control panel 4 with electronic programmer 5 and water drawer 6.
  • a heating element 10 Within the cooking chamber 8 of the steam oven 2 a heating element 10, a fan 12 and a steam generator 14 are provided.
  • a circumferential gasket 16 serves to provide a sealing between the cooking chamber 8 of the steam oven 2 and a not depicted oven door.
  • the gasket 16 can be arranged around the window 18 of an oven door 20 to provide a sealing between the cooking chamber 8 of the steam oven 2 and the oven door 20 in its closed position ( FIG. 2 ).
  • the endless or "closed-loop" gasket 16 is built by a butt joint 22 of the free ends 24, 26 of the gasket 16.
  • FIG. 3 which shows an exploded view of the gasket 16
  • the blunt free ends 24, 26 of the gasket 16 are pushed onto a reinforcement sleeve 28 to form a butt joint 22 as indicated by the arrows.
  • the joints 30, 32 or end faces of the free ends 24, 26 are wetted with an adhesive to form a stable splice between the joints 30, 32 or rather a stable butt joint 22.
  • the outer surface of the reinforcement sleeve 28 can be wetted with adhesive, too, before pushing on the free ends 24, 26 of the gasket 16.
  • FIG. 4 shows an exploded view of a part of the gasket 16.
  • Gasket 16 as well as reinforcement sleeve 28 are provided with openings 34, 36 in form of slits through which a fastening element 38 can be pushed through.
  • the fastening element 38 provides a loop-shaped upper part 40 and a hook-shaped bottom part 42.
  • the hook-shaped bottom part 42 penetrates from the outside at first the opening 34 in the gasket 16 and then a corresponding opening in the reinforcement sleeve 28 - which is present not visible in FIG. 4 because it is covered by the gasket 16.
  • the hook-shaped bottom part 42 interlocks with the reinforcement sleeve 28 and thereby fixes the reinforcement sleeve 28 to the gasket 16. Due to its loop-shaped upper part 40 the fastening element 38 besides can be used for fixation of the gasket 16 to the periphery of the cooking chamber 8 of the steam oven 2. To provide a good and stable fixation of the reinforcement sleeve 28 to the gasket 16 both free ends 24, 26 are fixed with a fastening element 38 to the reinforcement sleeve 28.
  • the outer contour of the reinforcement sleeve 28 is adapted to the inner contour of the gasket 16.
  • the reinforcement sleeve 28 has a slightly smaller outer diameter in comparison to the inner diameter of the gasket 16 to facilitate the arrangement of the reinforcement sleeve 28 within the longitudinally extending hollow chamber 44 of the gasket 16 or rather the cavity of the free ends 24, 26 of the gasket 16.
  • the reinforcement sleeve 28 has a total length of 6 cm and is arranged symmetrically within the hollow chamber 44 of the gasket 16 with respect to the butt joint 22 or rather its splice. That means 3 cm of the reinforcement sleeve 28 are arranged within the free end 24 and 3 cm of the reinforcement sleeve 28 are arranged within the free end 26.
  • the present gasket is made from silicone rubber.
  • FIG. 5 shows the reinforcement sleeve 28 in more detail.
  • the reinforcement sleeve 28 consists of a glass fibre fabric reinforced by a wire fabric. Glass fibres 46 and wires 48 are interwoven or braided with each other and are coated with silicone. Because the gasket 16 made from silicone rubber provides a higher flexibility in comparison to the reinforcement sleeve 28 a damage of the splice at the butt joint 22 due to stretching or bending forces due to thermal load during use of the gasket 16 or due to installation of the gasket 16 in the steam oven 2 can be avoided. As a result of this constellation the areas of the gasket 16 beyond the area of the gasket 16 containing the reinforcement sleeve 28 will bend first whereby the stretching and bending forces in the area of the butt joint 22 and its splice will be minimized.
  • FIG. 6 shows a filling 50 of a reinforcement sleeve 28.
  • the optional filling 50 can be a fibreglass or silica rope.
  • the filling 50 has a smaller cross section with respect to the cross section of the reinforcement sleeve 28 to facilitate its insertion into the reinforcement sleeve 28.
  • FIG. 7 shows a cross sectional view of an alternative gasket 52.
  • the gasket 52 is made from silicone rubber and has a profiled outer contour 58.
  • the reinforcement sleeve 56 is made from glass fibre reinforced plastic and is additionally reinforced by a not-visible wire mesh.
  • the reinforcement sleeve 56 is arranged within a longitudinally extending hollow chamber 60 of the gasket 52. It can be seen that the cross section of the reinforcement sleeve 56 does not completely fill the cross section of the hollow chamber 60.
