Magnetically hinged smoke shield assembly for an over-the-range oven

摘要

A smoke shield assembly for an over-the-range oven includes a magnetically hinged deflecting shield movable between stored and in use positions. The assembly includes a metal base secured to a forwardly positioned bottom metal member of the over-the-range oven by four magnets. Two of the magnets securing the base to the oven also form a magnetic hinge that secures the deflecting shield to the base. The two other magnets securing the base to the oven further maintain the deflecting shield in the stored position. The deflecting shield is metal having a generally U-shaped pivot end magnetically secured to the base. The pivot end may have an unhemmed pivot edge or a hemmed pivot edge to ease pivoting between the stored and in use positions.
