Abstract:
An oven appliance includes a cabinet that defines a chamber. A pair of doors is rotatably mounted to provide selective access to the chamber of the cabinet. The pair of doors is connected with a linkage assembly such that the doors rotate open and closed simultaneously. The linkage assembly includes a spur gear that engages another gear of the linkage assembly. The spur gear can hinder unwanted rotation of the pair of doors or compress the pair of doors against a seal.

Claim (Index 9):
An oven appliance, comprising:\n a cabinet defining a cooking chamber; a heating element configured for heating the cooking chamber of the cabinet; a pair of doors rotatably mounted to the cabinet, the doors of the pair of doors rotatable between an open position and a closed position in order to permit selective access to the cooking chamber of the cabinet; a pair of handles, each handle of the pair of handles mounted to a respective one of the pair of doors; and a linkage assembly coupling the pair of doors such that the pair of doors rotate between the open position and the closed position simultaneously when one of the pair of doors is manually moved, the linkage assembly comprising:\n a first gear having a plurality of teeth disposed on an engagement edge of the first gear, the first gear having an axis of rotation about which the first gear is rotatable, the first gear having an outer edge radially spaced apart from the axis of rotation of the first gear, the engagement edge of the first gear forming only a portion of the outer edge of the first gear, the first gear positioned within the cabinet above the cooking chamber of the cabinet; \n a second gear having a plurality of teeth disposed on an engagement edge of the second gear, the second gear having an axis of rotation about which the second gear is rotatable, the plurality of teeth of the second gear meshed with the plurality of teeth of the first gear, the second gear having an outer edge radially spaced apart from the axis of rotation of the second gear, the engagement edge of the second gear forming only a portion of the outer edge of the second gear, the second gear positioned within the cabinet above the chamber of the cabinet; and \n a pair of linkage arms, each linkage arm of the pair of linkage arms extending between and coupled to a respective gear of the first and second gears and one of the pair of doors.
