Roll-Up Door Equipped Oven

Abstract

A roll-up door equipped oven having a roll-up door in place of a hinged door includes a stove. A panel is coupled to and positioned in the stove to define an upper chamber. A pair of tracks is coupled singly to opposing sides of an opening in the stove. The tracks extend along the opposing sides and curvedly into the upper chamber. A plurality of panels is rollably coupled to and extends between the tracks. Each panel is hingedly coupled to an adjacent panel. An actuator is coupled to the stove and operationally coupled to the panels. A controller is positioned to compel the actuator to selectively compel the panels between a closed configuration, wherein the panels cover the opening, and an open configuration, wherein the panels are positioned within the upper chamber and the opening is configured to allow access to the upper chamber.
