This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240038457 titled 'REMOVABLE BEZEL ASSEMBLY FOR A COOKING APPLIANCE

Simplified Explanation

The abstract describes a bezel assembly for a control panel of a cooking appliance. The assembly includes a body portion and a rim portion, both extending along an axis. The body portion has an exterior surface and an interior surface, which defines a channel for accommodating components of a control knob assembly. The rim portion has an exterior surface and an interior surface, which defines an opening for accommodating components of the control knob assembly. The assembly also includes a plurality of cam fingers that can be articulated radially outwardly to interface with the interior surface of the control panel.

  • The bezel assembly is designed to be used in a control panel of a cooking appliance.
  • It includes a body portion and a rim portion that extend along an axis.
  • The body portion has an interior surface that defines a channel for accommodating components of a control knob assembly.
