Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 9
Claim 1
Independent Claim
172 words
A ventilating system for disposition proximate the oven door of an oven which can be heated for conducting cool air, from a source of cool air thereto; comprising: (a) first duct means secured proximate the oven door; (b) openings formed through said first duct means at spaced locations along the length thereof; (c) second duct means connected to said first duct means and to distribution box means; (d) third duct means connected to said distribution box means and to the source of cool air such that cool air from the source of cool air is directed to said distribution box means and thereafter from said distribution box means to said second duct means and thence to said first duct means from which the cool air flows out through said openings to cool the area proximate the oven door; and (e) thermostat means disposed for coaction with the oven door and operative in response to opening of the oven door to shut off the flow of cool air from said distribution box means.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
172 words
A ventilating system for disposition proximate the oven door of an oven which can be heated for conducting cool air, from a source of cool air thereto; comprising: (a) first duct means secured proximate the oven door; (b) openings formed through said first duct means at spaced locations along the length thereof; (c) second duct means connected to said first duct means and to distribution box means; (d) third duct means connected to said distribution box means and to the source of cool air such that cool air from the source of cool air is directed to said distribution box means and thereafter from said distribution box means to said second duct means and thence to said first duct means from which the cool air flows out through said openings to cool the area proximate the oven door; and (e) thermostat means disposed for coaction with the oven door and operative in response to opening of the oven door to shut off the flow of cool air from said distribution box means.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
28 words
The ventilating system of claim 1, wherein said first duct means are secured to the oven proximate the oven door so that the cool air is directed thereabout.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
30 words
The ventilating system of claim 2, wherein said first duct means includes at least a first pair of ducts disposed on the face of the oven along two sides thereof.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
20 words
The ventilating system of claim 3, wherein said first pair of ducts are disposed at right angles to each other.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
42 words
The ventilating system of claim 4, wherein said first duct means includes a second pair of ducts connected to the oven face and so as to form with said first pair of ducts a first duct means which surrounds the oven door.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim
107 words
The ventilating system of claim 5, including control duct means disposed within said first duct means and movable with respect thereto, said control duct means including spaced openings disposed along the length thereof for alignment with respect to said spaced openings of said first duct means and so as to be movable with movement of said control duct means out of such alignment; said control duct means being connected to said second duct means so that cool air directed thereto passes from said control duct means through said openings in said first duct means when said openings are aligned with said openings in said control duct means.
Claim 8
Dependent Claim
41 words
The ventilating system of claim 1, including damper means disposed in said distribution box means to control the movement of cool air therefrom and solenoid means disposed for coaction with said damper means and responsive to operation of said thermostat means.
Claim 9
Dependent Claim
45 words
The ventilating system of claim 7, including cover means carried by at least a portion of said first duct means so as to cover but be spaced from said openings therein to prevent particles of matter from entering said first duct means through said openings.
