Abstract

A door for a household microwave appliance includes a perforated electrically conductive lattice configured to cover a viewing opening of the door and having a plurality of microholes arranged in a regular pattern. The microholes have a rectangular basic shape with rounded corners.

Claims (16)

1. A door for a household microwave appliance, said door comprising a perforated electrically conductive lattice configured to cover a viewing opening of the door and including a plurality of microholes arranged in a regular pattern, said microholes having a rectangular basic shape with rounded corners.

2. The door of claim 1 , wherein the lattice is a metal lattice.

3. The door of claim 1 , wherein the basic shape of the microholes is square.

4. The door of claim 1 , further comprising a transparent door pane, said lattice being configured as a layer applied to the transparent door pane.

5. The door of claim 1 , wherein the rounded corners have a predefined radius in a range between 7 micrometers and 15 micrometers.

6. The door of claim 1 , wherein the lattice is configured as a layer having a cumulative layer thickness in a range between 2 micrometers and 5 micrometers.

7. The door of claim 1 , wherein the lattice is exactly one lattice in the form of a layer having a layer thickness in a range between 2.5 micrometers and 5 micrometers.

8. The door of claim 7 , wherein the one lattice includes a plurality of lattices arranged one behind the other on the door in a front view, said plurality of lattices having a cumulative layer thickness in a range between 2 micrometers and 5 micrometers.

9. The door of claim 1 , wherein the microholes are arranged in a rectangular matrix shape.

10. The door of claim 1 , wherein the lattice has strip regions to delimit the microholes, said strip regions having a width which is at least three times as great as a thickness of the lattice.

11. The door of claim 1 , wherein the lattice has strip regions to delimit the microholes, said strip regions having a width which is at least four times as great as a thickness of the lattice.

12. The door of claim 1 , wherein adjacent microholes define a pitch in a range between 50 micrometers and 100 micrometers.

13. The door of claim 1 , wherein the microholes have an edge length between 30 micrometers and 100 micrometers.

14. The door of claim 1 , wherein the microholes have an edge length between 40 micrometers and 75 micrometers.

15. The door of claim 1 , wherein the household microwave appliance is a dedicated microwave appliance or a microwave combination appliance.

16. The door of claim 1 , wherein the household microwave appliance is an oven with microwave functionality.
