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 1):
An appliance, comprising:\n a cabinet defining a chamber, the cabinet also defining an opening; a first door rotatably mounted proximate the opening of the cabinet; a second door rotatably mounted proximate the opening of the cabinet, the first and second doors rotatable between an open position and a closed position in order to permit selective access to the chamber of the cabinet through the opening of the cabinet; a pair of handles, each handle of the pair of handles mounted to a respective one of the first and second doors; and a linkage assembly coupling the first door and the second door such that the first and second doors rotate between the open position and the closed position simultaneously when one of the first door and the second door is manually moved, the linkage assembly comprising:\n a first linkage arm extending between a first end and a second end, the first end of the first linkage arm connected to the first door; \n a first gear having a plurality of teeth disposed on an engagement edge of the first gear, the second end of the first linkage arm connected to the first gear, the first gear having an outer edge radially spaced apart from an 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 chamber of the cabinet; \n a second gear having a plurality of teeth disposed on an engagement edge of the second gear, the plurality of teeth of the second gear meshing with the plurality of teeth of the first gear, the second gear having an outer edge radially spaced apart from an axis of rotation of the second gear, the engagement edge of the first gear forming only a portion of the outer edge of the first gear, the second gear positioned within the cabinet above the chamber of the cabinet; and \n a second linkage arm extending between a first end and a second end, the first end of the second linkage arm connected to the second door, the second end of the second linkage arm connected to the second gear.
