Abstract:
1. An oven door for an oven, the oven door comprising: an outer door panel; a viewing panel configured to permit visual observation of an item being heated in the oven to which the oven door is secured; an inner door panel, the viewing panel being disposed intermediate the outer and inner door panels and the outer and inner door panels each having apertures compatibly configured relative to the viewing panel for permitting visual access through the respective outer and inner door panel; and an air deflection assembly disposed intermediate the outer door panel and the viewing panel, the air deflection assembly being operable to deflect a first portion of an entry air stream of air from outside the oven into a first branch path extending vertically along a left hand side and to deflect a second portion of the entry air stream into a second branch path extending vertically along a right hand side, the first branch path and the second branch path each including a door riser extent extending vertically and a branch path exit at an uppermost end of the door riser extent, whereby air from outside the oven on which the oven door is mounted flows into contact with the air deflection assembly and a first portion of the entry air stream is deflected into the first branch path to be guided thereby through the door riser extent thereof until exiting therefrom through the associated branch path exit and a second portion of the entry air stream is deflected into the second branch path to be guided thereby through the door riser extent thereof until exiting therefrom through the associated branch path exit, wherein the left hand side and right hand side are determined relative to the oven door as viewed from the front.
