Abstract:
A domestic appliance, such as a double oven range, incorporates a door having a bottom end portion which, when shifted between closed and opened positions, both pivots and vertically shifts relative to a frame body of the appliance through at least a connecting rod, push rod and pivot arm of a hinge mechanism. Due to a combined pivoting and lifting action of the door, minimal to no clearance is required between the bottom end portion and adjacent structure.

A method of shifting a door between a closed position, where the door closes off a cavity of a domestic appliance, and an opened position, where access to the cavity is provided, the door having a front face, a rear face and a bottom end extending between the front face and the rear face, the method comprising:\n initiating opening of the door to cause the door to pivot about a first pivot axis defined at a first point of attachment between the door and a first, end portion of a pivot arm; and causing the pivot arm to pivot relative to the cavity about a second portion of the pivot arm and lift the door through the first point of attachment such that an entirety of the bottom end of the door is located vertically higher in the opened position than in the closed position.
