Abstract

A wall-mounted microwave oven including a fixing member having an improved structure for fixing an oven body to a vertical wall. The wall-mounted microwave oven achieves a reduction in manufacturing costs and convenient and simple manufacturing, transporting and installing processes. The wall-mounted microwave oven also includes a sheet adapted to set an accurate mounting position for the fixing member, in which the sheet has a size corresponding to that of the oven body and is made of paper or a similar material. The fixing member is provided with fixing holes. The sheet is provided with fixing position marks indicating fixing positions where screws have to be fastened to the wall through respective fixing holes. The fixing member is also provided with hooks respectively engaged with hook holes formed at a lower end of the oven body.

Claims (40)

1. A wall-mounted microwave oven, comprising:

an oven body; and

a fixing member which fixes the oven body to a vertical wall,

wherein the fixing member comprises a mounting section mounted to the vertical wall, and a supporting section supporting the oven body, the mounting section having a vertical length less than half of a height of the oven body, and the supporting section having a width smaller than the vertical length of the mounting section, and

wherein a top of the oven body is fixed to a sideboard mounted to the vertical wall.

2. The wall-mounted microwave oven according to claim 1 , further comprising:

a sheet which sets an accurate mounting position for the fixing member.

3. The wall-mounted microwave oven according to claim 2 , wherein the sheet has an area corresponding to an area of a surface of the oven body.

4. The wall-mounted microwave oven according to claim 3 , wherein:

the mounting section of the fixing member includes a plurality of fixing holes; and

the sheet includes a plurality of fixing position marks at a lower portion of the sheet, the fixing position marks corresponding to respective positions of the fixing holes to be arranged on the sheet so that the mounting section is mounted to the vertical wall while being horizontally aligned.

5. The wall-mounted microwave oven according to claim 3 , wherein the support section of the fixing member extends horizontally from a lower end of the mounting section in a direction away from the vertical wall and includes a plurality of upwardly-extending hooks at a free end of the support section, the upwardly-extending hooks being respectively engaged with a plurality of hook holes formed at a lower end of the oven body, and

wherein the support section supports the oven body.

6. The wall-mounted microwave oven according to claim 2 , wherein the sheet includes paper attached to the vertical wall.

7. The wall-mounted microwave oven according to claim 2 , wherein:

the mounting section of the fixing member includes a plurality of fixing holes; and

the sheet includes a plurality of fixing position marks at a lower portion of the sheet, the fixing position marks corresponding to respective positions of the fixing holes to be arranged on the sheet so that the mounting section is mounted to the vertical wall while being horizontally aligned.

8. The wall-mounted microwave oven according to claim 1 , wherein the support section of the fixing member extends horizontally from a lower end of the mounting section in a direction away from the vertical wall and includes a plurality of upwardly-extending hooks at a free end of the support section, the upwardly-extending hooks being respectively engaged with a plurality of hook holes formed at a lower end of the oven body, and

wherein the support section supports the oven body.

9. The wall-mounted microwave oven according to claim 1 , wherein a horizontal length of the mounting section is substantially equal to a horizontal length of the oven body.

10. The wall-mounted microwave oven according to claim 1 , further comprising:

threaded screws which fix the fixing member to the wall,

wherein the threaded screws attach the fixing member to the wall through a plurality of fixing holes on the fixing member.

11. A wall-mounted microwave oven, comprising:

an oven body;

a fixing member which fixes the oven body to a vertical wall; and

a sheet which sets a mounting position for the fixing member,

wherein the fixing member comprises a length approximately equal to a horizontal length of the oven body, a mounting section having a height less than half of that of the oven body, and a supporting section extending forwardly from a lower end of the mounting section, the supporting section comprising a width smaller than the height of the mounting section, and

wherein a top of the oven body is fixed to a sideboard mounted to the vertical wall.

12. The wall-mounted microwave oven according to claim 11 , wherein the sheet has a vertical length approximately equal to a height of the oven body and a longitudinal length approximately equal to or greater than a horizontal length of the oven body.

13. A fixing member attached to a wall-mounted microwave oven including an oven body having a top fixed to a sideboard mounted to a vertical wall, the fixing member comprising:

a mounting section mounted to the vertical wall; and

a supporting section supporting the oven body, the mounting section having a vertical length less than half of a height of the oven body, and the supporting section having a width smaller than the vertical length of the mounting section,

wherein the fixing member fixes the oven body to the vertical wall.

14. The fixing member according to claim 13 , wherein the fixing member contacts a sheet used for mounting the wall-mounted microwave,

wherein the sheet sets a mounting position for the fixing member attached to the oven body, and

wherein the sheet has a vertical length approximately equal to a height of the oven body and a longitudinal length approximately equal to or greater than a horizontal length of the oven body.

15. A wall-mounted microwave oven, comprising:

an oven body; and

a fixing member which fixes the oven body to a vertical wall, and comprises a mounting section mounted to the vertical wall, and a supporting section supporting the oven body, wherein the mounting section includes a horizontal length greater than or less than a horizontal length of the microwave oven and a height less than that of the oven body and greater than a width of the supporting section.
