Abstract

A baking oven has a baking oven muffle, on which at least one support is arranged on opposite sides and/or a rear wall, on which support a cooking product carrier is supported. A holding device is arranged on the at least one support and secures the cooking product carrier against lifting. The holding device has a movable holding section which, in the position of the cooking product carrier placed on the support, engages over an edge of the cooking product carrier. In this way, the holding device can be used to prevent a tilting movement of the cooking product carrier.

Claims (24)

1 . A baking oven ( 1 ) comprising:

a baking oven muffle ( 2 ),

at least one support ( 13 ), on which a cooking product carrier ( 4 ) is supported, said at least one support being arranged at opposite sides ( 3 ) and/or at a rear wall ( 16 ) of the baking oven muffle ( 2 ), and

a holding device ( 6 , 6 ′) arranged on the at least one support ( 13 ), said holding device being configured to secure the cooking product carrier ( 4 ) against lifting, wherein the holding device ( 6 , 6 ′) comprises a movable holding section ( 8 , 8 ′) which in a deposited position of the cooking product carrier ( 4 ) on the support ( 13 ) engages over an edge ( 5 ) of the cooking product carrier ( 4 ),

wherein the movable holding section ( 8 , 8 ′) is arranged on a pivotable lever ( 7 , 7 ′) and

wherein the holding device ( 6 , 6 ′) comprises an axis of rotation ( 11 , 11 ′) for the lever ( 7 , 7 ′), which is arranged on an outer side on a side of the holding device ( 6 , 6 ′) facing the side wall ( 3 ) of the baking oven muffle ( 2 ).

2 . The baking oven according to claim 1 , wherein the holding device ( 6 , 6 ′) in the deposited position of the cooking product carrier ( 4 ) engages around the edge ( 5 ) in a U-shape in a front view.

3 . The baking oven according to claim 1 , wherein the pivotable lever ( 7 , 7 ′) comprises a support surface ( 12 ) which is movable through an underside of the edge ( 5 ) when the cooking product carrier ( 4 ) is placed on it.

4 . The baking oven according to claim 1 , wherein the axis of rotation ( 11 , 11 ′) of the lever ( 7 , 7 ′) is aligned horizontally and parallel to a direction of insertion of the cooking product carrier ( 4 ) into the baking oven muffle ( 2 ).

5 . The baking oven according to claim 1 , wherein the lever ( 7 , 7 ′) is pivotable between a deposited position and a receiving position and the end positions are each limited by a stop.

6 . The baking oven according to claim 5 , wherein the lever ( 7 ,) is biased into the receiving position by at least one spring ( 10 ) or comes into the receiving position by gravity.

7 . The baking oven according to claim 1 , wherein the holding device ( 6 , 6 ′) comprises a support element ( 9 ) on which the lever ( 7 , 7 ′) is pivotably mounted.

8 . The baking oven according to claim 1 , wherein the holding device ( 6 , 6 ′) makes positive contact with the edge ( 5 ) of the cooking product carrier ( 4 ) in the deposited position of the cooking product carrier ( 4 ).

9 . The baking oven according to claim 1 , wherein the holding device ( 6 , 6 ′) is made of metal.

10 . A baking oven ( 1 ) comprising:

a baking oven muffle ( 2 ),

a holding device ( 6 , 6 ′) arranged on the at least one support ( 13 ), said holding device being configured to secure the cooking product carrier ( 4 ) against lifting, wherein the holding device ( 6 , 6 ′) comprises a movable holding section ( 8 , 8 ′) which in a deposited position of the cooking product carrier ( 4 ) on the support ( 13 ) engages over an edge ( 5 ) of the cooking product carrier ( 4 ),

wherein the holding device ( 6 , 6 ′) is fixed to a rail ( 21 ) of a pull-out guide ( 20 ).

11 . A baking oven ( 1 ) comprising:

a baking oven muffle ( 2 ),

at least one support ( 13 ), on which a cooking product carrier ( 4 ) is supported, said at least one support being arranged at opposite sides ( 3 ) and/or at a rear wall ( 16 ) of the baking oven muffle ( 2 ), and

a holding device ( 6 , 6 ′) is arranged on the at least one support ( 13 ), said holding device being configured to secure the cooking product carrier ( 4 ) against lifting, wherein the holding device ( 6 , 6 ′) comprises a movable holding section ( 8 , 8 ′) which in a deposited position of the cooking product carrier ( 4 ) on the support ( 13 ) engages over an edge ( 5 ) of the cooking product carrier ( 4 ),

wherein the holding device ( 6 , 6 ′) is fixed to a side grid in the baking oven muffle ( 2 ).
