Device For Removing Cooking Vapors

Patent No. EP3475621 (titled "Device For Removing Cooking Vapors") was filed by Bruckbauer on Jun 22, 2017. The application was issued on Nov 2, 2022.

Patent Summary

A cooking vapour extraction device comprises a vapour entry installation with an entry opening closable by at least one closure element. An activation installation, featuring a purely rotatory drive, repositions the closure element between a first closing position and a second unblocking position. This repositioning involves both a rotary movement component and a linear movement component. In the second position, the closure element is arranged outside the flow region of the cooking vapours. The device may further include a suction device coupled to a control unit and a position sensor, ensuring suction activates only when the opening is unblocked. Additional features may include a removable drip tray with liquid sensors, filter saturation/insertion sensors, a fan housing, and integration into modular hob systems or kitchen furniture.
