Abstract
Abstract A baking oven for test-baking loaves of bread has a baking chamber heated by a heating element to a desired baking temperature, and a door through which to introduce the loaves. In response to closure of the door, water is passed through a pipe extending from the outside into the baking chamber and is allowed to fall on the heating element for immediate evaporation. The amount of water is metered so as to be sufficient to saturate the air in the baking chamber with water vapor at the baking temperature.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 5
Claim 1
Independent Claim
184 words
A baking oven for baking crust-forming articles of food from dough, comprising a double-walled casing defining a baking chamber therein, heating means positioned in the baking chamber for establishing a preselected baking temperature therein, a sealingly closable door for the casing, the door being of doublewalled construction, a support member in the baking chamber for receiving and supporting a said article in an unwrapped state, a vessel located externally of the baking chamber for containing an amount of water which, when vaporized, will establish a saturated water vapor atmosphere in the baking chamber, piping having an inlet end connected to the vessel and an outlet end arranged above the heating means in the baking chamber, and control means arranged in response to closure of the door after the support member has received a said article to be baked to pass said amount of water from the vessel through the piping directly on to the heating means to be immediately evaporated thereby and to establish said saturated water vapor atmosphere for a length of time sufficient at least to form a crust on said article.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
184 words
A baking oven for baking crust-forming articles of food from dough, comprising a double-walled casing defining a baking chamber therein, heating means positioned in the baking chamber for establishing a preselected baking temperature therein, a sealingly closable door for the casing, the door being of doublewalled construction, a support member in the baking chamber for receiving and supporting a said article in an unwrapped state, a vessel located externally of the baking chamber for containing an amount of water which, when vaporized, will establish a saturated water vapor atmosphere in the baking chamber, piping having an inlet end connected to the vessel and an outlet end arranged above the heating means in the baking chamber, and control means arranged in response to closure of the door after the support member has received a said article to be baked to pass said amount of water from the vessel through the piping directly on to the heating means to be immediately evaporated thereby and to establish said saturated water vapor atmosphere for a length of time sufficient at least to form a crust on said article.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
24 words
A baking oven according to claim 1 wherein temperature sensing and regulating means are provided for maintaining the desired baking temperature in the oven.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
30 words
A baking oven according to claim 1 wherein the baking chamber is substantially cylindrical, the heating means being constituted by two heating elements defining a part of the baking chamber.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
66 words
A baking oven according to claim 1 wherein a rotary reel having a plurality of segments constitutes said support member, a rotary drive shaft being sealingly passed through the casing and connected to drive the reel, and automatic reel segment position control means for preselectably controlling the arrest position of the reel to bring any desired segment thereof into a predetermined position relative to the door.
