1. An oven door support system, comprising a pair of oven door support assemblies each adapted to be fastened to an outer surface of an oven door;
wherein each of said pair of oven door support assemblies further comprises:
a four-sided rectangular mounting bracket adaptable to be mounted to said outer surface of said oven door, comprising an upper portion and a lower portion, a planar rear plate having a rear surface adapted to be fastened to said outer surface of said oven door with a high-temperature silicone adhesive, a pair of side plates, and a top plate;an L-shaped leg assembly freely pivoting relative to said mounting bracket and having an upper portion and a lower portion, a front plate, a bottom plate, and a foot portion located at a bottom edge of said lower portion of said leg assembly having a protective rubber end portion; and,a hinge assembly pivotally connecting said upper portion of said leg assembly to said upper portion of said mounting bracket, further comprising:
a first hinge bracket perpendicularly extending outward from an inner surface of said rear plate at said upper portion of said mounting bracket;a second hinge bracket perpendicularly extending inward from an inner surface of said front plate adjacent to said upper portion of said leg assembly, vertically aligned with said first hinge bracket; and,a hinge pin interconnecting said first hinge bracket with said second hinge bracket, thereby providing free pivoting of said leg assembly relative to said mounting bracket;wherein said hinge assembly is offset from an upper edge of said leg assembly and said mounting bracket;wherein said upper edge of said leg assembly provides a stop to travel of said leg assembly past a ninety degree angle relative to said mounting bracket; wherein said front plate of said leg assembly has an outer surface coextensive with a front edge of said top plate and front edges of said pair of side plates of said mounting bracket when said oven door is in a closed configuration; wherein said pair of oven door support assemblies are automatically deployed upon opening said oven door; wherein said foot portion contacts said ground surface when said oven door is in said open configuration; wherein said system supports said oven door in an open configuration and a load placed thereupon; and, wherein said pair of oven door support assemblies are fastened to locations on said oven door to evenly distribute a weight of said oven door. |
