TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The present invention relates to cookers and particularly relates to cookers compliant
to the upper part of Claim 1.
KNOWN STATE OF THE ART
[0002] Power is supplied to the free-standing and built-in ovens by means of the supply
cables thereof. In general, said cables enter into the oven through a suitable place
of the rear sheet of ovens.
[0003] However, the drawback here is the cutting of the ovens' supply cables by the oven
rear sheets. The supply cables may be stripped or damaged by the sharp surfaces of
rear sheets.
[0004] There are some researches in order to bring a solution to said drawback. For instance,
in the patent application
EP1489712, said strain relief has a base part fixed to a housing and having a cable receiving
part for the electric cable. The strain relief also has a clamp part which bridges
the cable receptacle of the base part. The clamp part can be connected to the base
part by a locking mechanism for clamping the electric cable fast. The locking mechanism
is formed by teeth on the base part and on the clamp part. The teeth on the base part
are provided on opposing arms and face outwards. The teeth on the clamp part are provided
on opposing clamp bridges face inwards.
[0005] In the patent application
EP0353539, the proposed electrical connector is provided with a terminal board and a clamping
device which is integral with said terminal board during use. These consist of two
separate elements, each having a reciprocal engaging means. Said clamping device has
a pair of arms. One of the arms or both of the arms have a head at the end part thereof.
This head can be locked into a hole existing on the terminal board. However, the cookers
used in the abovementioned patents and in the present systems do not comprise embodiments
preventing the cutting of the supply cables.
BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
[0006] The present invention relates to cookers with novel embodiments for preventing the
cutting and abrasion of the cookers' supply cables by the rear sheets of the cookers,
in order to eliminate the abovementioned disadvantages and to bring new advantages
to the related technical field.
[0007] An object of the invention is to provide a cable protector with a low cost and whose
assembly is simple, in order to prevent the cutting and abrasion of the cookers' supply
cables by the rear sheets of the cookers.
[0008] In order to realize the abovementioned objects and the objects to be obtained from
the detailed description below, the present invention is a cooker with a rear sheet.
In order to prevent the cutting of the cookers' supply cables by the rear sheets of
the cookers, said cooker comprises a body; a holding part which provides the assembly
of said body to the rear sheet of the cooker; a cable protector with a protection
wall extending along the sharp surface in order to protect the cable from the sharp
surfaces of the sheet; and a housing which has a connection extension and which is
formed for placing the cable protector on said rear sheet.
[0009] In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, there is a resting surface in
order to provide the body to hold to the rear sheet in a firmer manner by applying
pressure to the rear sheet of the cooker.
[0010] In another preferred embodiment of the present invention, there is a placement aperture
which is defined between said resting surface and the body and which is placed to
the connection extension of the rear sheet.
[0011] In another preferred embodiment of the present invention, said holding part extends
along a certain part of the body.
[0012] In another preferred embodiment of the present invention, said placement surface
extends along the holding part.
[0013] In another preferred embodiment of the present invention, said protection wall extends
orthogonally to the body.
[0014] In another preferred embodiment of the present invention, said cable protector extends
as a semi-circle in a form similar to a C shape.
[0015] In another preferred embodiment of the present invention, said cable protector extends
as a semi-circle in a form similar to a U shape.
[0016] In another preferred embodiment of the present invention, said cable protector is
made of plastic based material.

THE DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
[0019] In this detailed explanation, the subject matter invention is explained with references
to the annexed figures without forming any restrictive effect in order to make the
subject more understandable. Accordingly, in the detailed description below, the subject
matter invention is assumed to be applied to a household type cooker (10). However,
with minor revisions, the subject matter invention can also be applied to industrial
type of cookers with different properties.
[0020] With reference to Figure 1, the cooker (10) to which the subject matter invention
is applied comprises a cover existing on the front surface (213), lateral sheet (12)
existing on the two lateral surfaces and a rear sheet (13) existing on the rear surface.
The subject matter cable protector (20) is positioned to the part or parts which the
cookers' (10) feeding cables (30) contact with the rear sheet (13).
[0021] The subject matter cable protector (20) has a structure similar to C shape and comprises
a body (21) extending along a semi-circle so as to form an inner part (211) and an
outer part (212). Between the inner part (211) and the outer part (212) of said body
(21), a front surface (213) and a rear surface (214) are defined. A protection wall
(22) extends orthogonally to the front surface (213) of the body (21). Said protection
wall (22) extends peripherally along the inner part (211). The protection wall (22)
closes the sharp surfaces of the rear sheet (13). Said protection wall (22) can extend
orthogonally to the rear surface (214) of the body (21).
[0022] With reference to Figure 2a and 2b, at the continuation of the outer part (212) of
the body (21), there is a holding part (23) which extends peripherally along a certain
distance. Said holding part (23) provides the holding of the body (21) to the rear
sheet (13). There is a housing (131) on the rear sheet (13), which is compliant to
the dimensions of the body (21). Said housing (131) is formed by forming a cut-out
on the rear sheet (13). The housing (131) is similar to the body (21) and it is in
semi-circle form. At the continuation of the housing (131), there is a connection
extension (132), in order to provide the formation of a peripheral contact with the
holding part (23). Said connection tab (132) is a tab extending peripherally along
the holding part (23).
[0023] On the holding tab (23), there is a placement opening (231) which is placed to said
connection extension (132). At the continuation of said placement aperture (231),
there is a resting surface (232) extending so as to define a triangular shape. Said
resting surface (232) contacts with the rear sheet (13) of the cooker (10) and provides
the holding of the cable protector (20) in a firmer manner.
[0024] In the alternative embodiment of the subject matter invention, said body (21) can
have a square form whose one side is open or it can have a form similar to a U shape.
In such a case, on the rear sheet (13), a housing (131) suitable to the dimensions
of the body (21) should be formed. By means of this, the body (21) can completely
seat onto the housing (131). Said cable protector (20) is preferably made of plastic
based material. Therefore, the pieces like supply cable (30) which can be damaged
easily is prevented from being cut by the sharp pieces.

provides the assembly of said body (21) to the rear sheet (13) of the cooker (10);
a cable protector (20) with a protection wall (22) extending along the sharp surface
in order to protect the cable (30) from the sharp surfaces of the sheet; and a housing
(131) which is formed for placing the cable protector (20) on said rear sheet (13)
and which has a connection extension (132).
2. A cooker (10) according to the claim 1, wherein a resting surface (232) is provided
