Abstract

A baking appliance includes a heatable baking chamber and a door that closes the baking chamber. The door includes an inner pane facing the baking chamber when the door is closed and an outer pane facing outward when the door is closed. At least one holding element is configured to arrange the inner pane and outer pane so as to form at least one ventilation channel between the inner pane and outer pane. At least one cooling element is associated with the at least one holding element and extends into the at least one ventilation channel.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A baking appliance including a heatable baking chamber and a door that closes the baking chamber, the door comprising:
an inner pane facing the baking chamber when the door is closed;
an outer pane facing outward when the door is closed;
at least one holding element extending between and directly contacting both the inner pane and the outer pane so as to connect the inner pane and outer pane to form at least one ventilation channel between the inner pane and outer pane;
at least one cooling element associated with the at least one holding element, the at least one coding element extending into the at least one ventilation channel, the at least one cooling element being in contact with the at least one holding element so as to conduct heat and thereby dissipate heat from the at least one holding element; and
a support element extending from the at least one coding element to support the at least one coding element at a distance from the outer pane so as to provide an air flow space between at least part of the at least one cooling element and the outer pane, wherein the air flow space is bounded by at least the at least one cooling element, the support element, and the outer pane.

2. The baking appliance recited in claim 1 , further comprising a middle pane disposed between the inner pane and the outer pane so as to form a ventilation channel between each set of the adjacent panes.

3. The baking appliance recited in claim 2 , wherein the at least one cooling element includes a cooling element disposed at least in the ventilation channel between the outer pane and middle pane.

4. The baking appliance recited in claim 1 , wherein each holding element at least partially includes profiled sections.

5. The baking appliance recited in claim 4 , wherein the profiled sections include aluminum profiles.

6. The baking appliance recited in claim 4 , wherein the profiled sections include sheet metal.

7. The baking appliance recited in claim 4 , wherein each cooling element is held on a profiled section.

8. The baking appliance recited in claim 4 , wherein at least one of the profiled sections includes at least one slit extending substantially vertically when the door is closed.

9. The baking appliance recited in claim 8 , wherein the at least one slit is disposed on a side of the corresponding profiled section that faces the ventilation channel.

10. The baking appliance recited in claim 1 , wherein the air flow space is bounded by the at least one holding element.

11. The baking appliance recited in claim 1 , wherein each cooling element is supported against the outer pane.

12. The baking appliance recited in claim 11 , wherein each cooling element is resiliently supported against the outer pane.

13. The baking appliance recited in claim 1 , wherein each cooling element is configured so as to have a large surface area.

14. The baking appliance recited in claim 1 , wherein each cooling element at least partially includes a thermally conductive material.

15. The baking appliance recited in claim 1 , wherein each cooling element does not extend into a visible area of the door.

16. A door for closing a baking chamber opening of a baking appliance, the door comprising:
an inner pane facing the baking chamber when the door is closed;
an outer pane facing outward when the door is closed;
at least one holding element extending between and directly contacting both the inner pane and the outer pane so as to connect the inner pane and outer pane to form at least one ventilation channel between the inner pane and outer pane;
at least one cooling element associated with the at least one holding element, the at least one cooling element extending into the at least one ventilation channel, the at least one cooling element being in contact with the at least one holding element so as to conduct heat and thereby dissipate heat from the at least one holding element; and
a support element extending from the at least one cooling element to support the at least one cooling element at a distance from the outer pane so as to provide an air flow space between at least part of the at least one cooling element and the outer pane, wherein the air flow space is bounded by at least the at least one cooling element, the support element, and the outer pane.

17. The baking appliance recited in claim 16 , wherein the air flow space is hounded by the at least one holding element.
