Benefits of technology
"The present invention is a safety device for ovens to prevent them from tilting over when weight is applied to the oven door. The device includes a base that is connected to a pivoting member by a pivot connection. The pivoting member is made up of a threaded adjustable member and a tubular receiving member, with the adjustable member being telescopically coupled to the receiving member. A locking washer is also coupled to the adjustable member to hold it in place relative to the receiving member. The technical effect of this invention is to provide a safer oven that can withstand weight without tilting over, which can prevent accidents and reduce the risk of injury."
Problems solved by technology
Free-standing ovens have the potential of becoming a hazard in a home, especially to young children who are playing on them in an unintended manner.
When weight is applied directly to an open oven door it can create a situation where the center of gravity is shifted enough to cause the standard supports of the oven to give way and thus cause the oven to tip over.
The situation can be devastating in the case where a child is the weight, because when the oven tips over it has the potential to fall directly onto the child causing serious injury or even death in some cases.

Description
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0001]1. Field of the Invention[0002]The invention relates to a safety device. More particularly, the invention relates to a safety device for ovens that prevents the oven from tipping over when weight is applied to the door in the open position.[0003]2. Description of the Related Art[0004]Free-standing ovens have the potential of becoming a hazard in a home, especially to young children who are playing on them in an unintended manner. When weight is applied directly to an open oven door it can create a situation where the center of gravity is shifted enough to cause the standard supports of the oven to give way and thus cause the oven to tip over. The situation can be devastating in the case where a child is the weight, because when the oven tips over it has the potential to fall directly onto the child causing serious injury or even death in some cases.[0005]There have been efforts made in the field to create supports that will hold the oven in an uprigh...
