The door assembly comprises a relatively thin sheet of metal having an array of closely spaced perforations formed therein. The array of perforations functions as a viewing window to the inside of the oven cavity. In one embodiment, the sheet of metal is sandwiched between a pair of glass panels and bonded thereto by layers of adhesive material. In another embodiment, the metal sheet is positioned between a glass panel and a thin film of polycarbonate, and bonded thereto by layers of adhesive material.

In both embodiments the laminated construction is subjected to thermal compression to enable the various layers to adhere to each other.
3 Claims, 3 Drawing Figures 1 MICROWAVE OVEN DOOR ASSEMBLY CROSS REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATIONS The present application is a continuation-in-part of U.S. Pat. application Ser. No. 292,529 filed Sept. 27, 1972, now abandoned.
FIELD OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates generally to microwave cooking ovens and more particularly to the oven door construction.
DESCRIPTION OF THE PRIOR ART I-Ieretofore, prior microwave oven doors have been constructed of a plurality of bulky metal panels screwed or riveted together over the entire peripheries thereof. The central portions of the doors usually included relatively thick, perforated metal screens. The performations served as viewing holes in the insides of the oven cavities. More recent oven doors have glass panels sandwiched over the metal screen to prevent any objects from protruding through the screen perforations. Again, such panels were usually screwed or riveted over the metal screens at points about the peripheries thereof.
The main shortcoming with prior oven doors is that the many pieces involved in each door made the assembly complex and costly. The tolerance buildup alone in uniting all of the panels made the assembly thereof quite cumbersome.
Another serious shortcoming with prior oven doors is that no matter how tight the glass or plastic panels were attached to the metal panels, condensation, grease, and other particles would form or collect between the metal screen and these panels. As a result, the metal screens would become rusted or corroded, and very unsightly.
A major shortcoming with the prior screens is that the visibility through the windows is very poor. This poor visibility is attributed to the relatively large thickness of the screens. Conventional prior metal screens are approximately 0.03 inches thick. This thick construction makes it quite difficult to form the apertures in a closely spaced relationship. This, of course, adversely affects the resolution of the view. Moreover, this thick construction makes the apertures relatively deep. As a result, it is virtually impossible to look through the apertures from a side angle. The only way a person can view the interior of the oven cavity in prior ovens is to view the oven from a point directly perpendicular to the screen.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The present invention obviates the above-mentioned shortcomings by providing a laminated door assembly that is simple in construction, easy to keep clean, and efficient in operation.
In its broadest aspect, the present invention corn prises a relatively thin sheet of selfsupporting, shatterproof, and perforated metal sandwiched between a pair of panels and bonded thereto by a pair of adhesive layers located .therebetween. The primary advantage of the present invention is that the number of panels utilized in the door construction is substantially reduced. This simple construction greatly reduces the number of critical tolerance points required in the assembly over those required in prior door assemblies.
Another very important advantage of the present invention is that the laminated construction with its core of sheet metal is very strong in spite of being simple and lightweight. This is extremely beneficial to the consumer because of its inherent safety advantages.
Another advantage of the present invention is that the sheet of perforated metal is much thinner than prior door constructions. This thin construction makes it possible for the perforations to be formed in a more closely spaced array. As a result, the visibility in the oven cavity is greatly improved, especially from directions other than perpendicular to the screen.
Another important advantage of the present invention is the laminated construction of the door. In one embodiment, the metal sheet is sandwiched between a pair of glass panels, while in another embodiment, the metal sheet is positioned between a glass panel and a thin film of polycarbonate. Both constructions provide a clean, integral design quite different from prior constructions.
The layers of adhesive material can be either coextensive with the laminar sheets and panels, or they can extend only around the borders thereof. This type of bonding is completely novel in microwave oven door constructions.
The features of the present invention which are believed to be novel are set forth with particularity in the appended Claims. The present invention, both as to its organization and manner of operation, together with the further advantages thereof, may best be understood by reference to the following description, taken in connection with the accompanying drawings.
BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS FIG. 1 is a perspective view of a microwave cooking oven door of the present invention;
FIG. 2 is a fragmentary sectional view of the first embodiment of the present invention; and
FIG. 3 is a fragmentary sectional view of the second embodiment of the present invention.
DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS Referring now to the drawings, FIG. 1 shows a microwave oven door assembly generally indicated by arrow 10 comprising a laminated door panel 11 having a metal frame 13 mounted about the periphery thereof. One side of the metal frame 13 has an L-shaped handle 15 connected thereto. The advantages of the metal frame 13 and the handle 15 are described and claimed in assignees co-pending U.S. Pat. application, Ser. No. 266,059, filed June 26, 1972.
As shown in FIG. 2, the door panel 11 comprises a relatively thin sheet of self-supporting, shatterproof metal 17 having an array of closely spaced perforations 19 formed therein. The sheet of metal 17 is preferably made of aluminum, however, other types of conductive metal can be utilized. The thickness of the metal is preferably 20 thousandths of an inch. The sheet of metal 17 is sandwiched between a pair of adhesive layers 21 which are preferably made of a transparent epoxy resin material. In the embodiment shown in FIG. 2, the three sheets 17 and 21 are positioned between a pair of glass panels 23. The glass panels 23 are preferably fully tempered and three sixteenths of an inch thick.
The glass panels 23 may also be tinted or clear. In the preferred embodiment, the glass panels 23 are tinted a solid color around a 2 inch border about its periphery, shown at 24.
The sheet of metal 17, and the glass panels 23 are all coextensive to form the laminated panel 11, with the periphery of the metal sheet 17 being bent around one of the glass panels 23. The layers of adhesive material 21 can either be coextensive with the entire metal sheet 17, or only extend around the border 24 thereof, to provide the bonding for the metal sheet 17 with the outer panels. In forming the laminated panel 11, as shown in FIG. 2, the metal sheet 17 and glass panels 23 are assembled with the layers of adhesive material therebetween, as shown in FIG. 2, and subjected to thermal or non-thermal compression until the sheets and panels are bonded together. After which, the metal frame 13 is mounted about the periphery of the laminated panel 11.
In the embodiment shown in FIG. 3, an identical sheet of metal 17 is provided between the layers of adhesive material 21. As above, the layers 21 can be coextensive with the sheet 17 or they can extend around the border 24. This embodiment differs from that shown in FIG. 2' in that the sheet 17 is positioned between a glass panel 23 and a thin film 25 of polycarbonate. In this embodiment, the polycarbonate film 25 is preferably utilized as the interior side of the door, while the glass panel 23 functions as the exterior side of the compressed, either thermally or non-thermally, until an integral bonded construction is produced.
It should be noted that various modifications can be made to the apparatus while still remaining within the purview of the following claims.
What is claimed is: v
l. A door assembly for sealing the opening of a microwave oven cavity, the cavity opening extending through the front face of the oven, comprising:
