Samsung patents cooking hood with two-part cover that opens in sequence
Samsung describes a cooking appliance with a fan that pulls air through a hole in the cooking surface. To keep the hole open, a motor turns a cover made of two separate pieces that rotate in a specific order to avoid bumping into each other.
In the filing’s own words
Provided is a cooking apparatus including: a plate, provided with an inlet, on which a cooking vessel is placed; a fan configured to draw in air through the inlet; a motor configured to generate a driving force; and a cover configured to receive the driving force from the motor to open the inlet, the cover including a first cover member configured to cover a portion of the inlet and a second cover member configured to cover an other portion of the inlet, wherein the second cover member is rotated after the first cover member is rotated such that interference between the first cover member and the second cover member is prevented
