Telescopic rail system for an oven

摘要

A telescopic rail system 1 for a domestic appliance, such as an oven, comprises an upper rail 2 and a lower rail 4 wherein the upper rail is affixed to an oven wall while the lower rail is movable relative to the upper rail. A mount 8 for a carrier, such as a cooking tray, is attached to the lower rail by means of a connecting pin 16 and substantially covers the two rails. The mount is shorter than the carrier so that when the carrier is supported on the mount a front region of the carrier is left free and can be conveniently gripped for removal. An intermediate rail 3 may be located between the upper and lower rails. The arrangement is intended to reduce the tendency for contamination of the bearing surfaces to ensure that they run smoothly.
