20080096147, Apr 24, 2008

Filed:

Aug 2, 2006

Appl. No.:

11/497781

Inventors:

Paul E. Newsom - Louisville KY, US

International Classification:

F24C 3/12
F23N 1/00

US Classification:

431 12, 126 42

Abstract:

A gas supply system for a cooking appliance includes a burner valve operatively coupled to each surface burner, and a lockout valve configured to control gas flow to a manifold. The burner valve is movable between an open position and a closed position to control gas flow from the manifold to the surface burner. The lockout valve is movable between a closed position restricting gas flow to the manifold and an open position allowing gas flow. The system includes at least one switch positioned with respect to the burner valve. The switch is configured to detect a position of the burner valve. A controller is operatively coupled to the lockout valve and the switch. The controller activates the lockout valve to move between the closed position and the open position based on a signal received from the switch indicating that the burner valve is in the closed position.

US Classification:

126 21 A, 16510434, 318490

Abstract:

A system for monitoring a cooling fan having one or more fans blade and utilized in an appliance having a heating element. Such a system generally includes an electric switch actuated by a magnetic field of a magnet mounted on a rotary member of the cooling fan. The electric switch can be located proximate to the magnet, such that the magnet rotates past the electric switch to actuate the electric switch via the magnetic field at a switching frequency with each rotation of the rotary member. Such a system can include a circuit responsive to an electrical signal from the electric switch. The circuit can generates a signal indicative of the status of the cooling fan, based on the switching frequency of the electric switch. Such a signal can prevent overheating of the heating elements in case of a failure of the cooling fan.

Paul Newsom - Louisville KY, US
Heather Ann Thomas - Louisville KY, US

International Classification:

A21B 1/02

US Classification:

219391

Abstract:

An oven includes an oven liner defined by front, top, bottom, back and side panels, a heating element thermally coupled to the oven liner, a temperature sensor configured to detect a temperature of a panel of the oven cavity, and a controller operatively coupled to the temperature sensor and the heating element. The controller is configured to energize the heating element as a function of the detected temperature.

Appl. No.:

13/008359

Inventors:

Paul Newsom - Louisville KY, US
Paul Bryan Cadima - Louisville KY, US

International Classification:

F24C 15/02

US Classification:

126197

Abstract:

A locking system for an appliance that includes an oven and a door for the oven. The locking system includes an oven door lock device that is selectively switchable between a locked position and an unlocked position, a flame sensor configured to detect a flame within the oven, and a controller communicatively coupled to the flame sensor. The controller is configured to switch the oven door lock device to its locked position thereby securing the door in its closed position when a flame inside the oven is detected.

Paul Bryan Cadima - Louisville KY, US

International Classification:

A21B 1/00

US Classification:

126 21 A

Abstract:

A bake element is used in conjunction with a remotely mounted convection fan assembly to provide a new convection cooking system. The convection fan preferably extends along a base portion of the rear wall to direct heated air flow through openings in an upper portion of the rear wall, circulate through the oven cavity, and exit through openings preferably in base portions of the side walls where the air is drawn into a bake element cavity and warmed or heated by the bake element before being recirculated.

Appl. No.:

13/198037

Inventors:

James Carter Bach - Seymour IN, US
Paul E. Newsom - Louisville KY, US

International Classification:

F24F 11/00

US Classification:

454256

Abstract:

A device for detecting and/or measuring air flow in a cooling air flow passageway of an appliance using solid-state flow detectors. Heat generating components of the appliance are controlled in response to detected air flow. More specifically, the disclosure provides a device for detecting the presence of airflow and/or the approximate rate of airflow in a cooling channel of an appliance chassis. Based on this information, the appliance can perform safety-related tasks, such as de-energizing associated heating elements if there is too-low (or no) airflow detected. The solid-state flow detectors are easily fabricated, installed, and calibrated and avoids the calibration, fabrication and/or installation difficulties associated with sail switches and other such approaches such as thermal limit switches.
