LINKAGE MECHANISM SUITABLE TO BE USED IN AN OVEN COMPRISING FRENCH STYLE DOORS

摘要

The present invention relates to a linkage mechanism (1) suitable to be used in ovens (17) comprising two side-by-side French style doors (12) connected to the front surfaces of opposite left and right vertical edges of a body (11) so as to be pivotable about the vertical axis by means of hinges (13), mounted on a horizontal plane (14) on the upper or the lower wall of the body (11), enabling both doors (12) to be opened or closed simultaneously by a user moving only one of the doors (12), and comprising two link arms (2) symmetrically connected by their front ends to the doors (12) so as to be pivotable about the vertical axis, movable parallel to the horizontal plane (14), and extending from both doors (12) by converging to each other towards the rear edge of the horizontal plane (14). The linkage mechanism further comprises: - a rail (3) fixed on the horizontal plane (14) in parallel to the horizontal plane (14) by means of a front mounting plate (15) and a rear mounting plate (16), - a carriage block (4) to which the rear ends of the link arms (2) are connected, moving on the rail (3) during opening and closing of the doors (12), and by - a linear slide bearing (5) enabling the carriage block (4) to be movably supported on the rail (3).
