Abstract
The preferred embodiment provides an improved microwave oven structure, more particularly, a mechanism related to the installation of the latch-hook engaging the latch-head of the door set to the front entrance of the oven. The improved mechanism is established by setting the oven unit inside the housing, installing the door at the front entrance, installing the door opening/closing mechanical unit to the floor behind the front panel aligned with the door, installing the latch-hook engaging the latch-head of the door behind the peripheral edge of the door opening/closing mechanical unit of the front entrance, and installing the vertical baseplate to be integrally set to the front entrance part of the door opening/closing mechanical unit. The improved mechanism is completed by securing the latch-hook to the vertical baseplate.
