Width-adjustable carrier frame usable in household appliances, particularly in cooking and baking ovens

The invention relates to a width-adjustable carrier frame (1 ) which can be used in household appliances, particularly cooking and baking ovens, for receiving and supporting a grilling rack (13 ), a tray, a dish (15 ), a cooking or baking sheet, or the like. According to the invention, the carrier frame (1 ) consists of at least two cross members (2 ) with tube-type front-side end areas as well as of two approximately U-shaped carrying bows (3 ), at least one carrying bow (3 ) being continuously movable relative to the cross members (2 ) by means of a worm drive. A carrier frame (1 ) designed in this manner can be comfortably adapted by the operation of the worm drive to interiors of different widths of household appliances. This permits a continuous adaptation in a simple manner. If required, the carrier frame (1 ) can also virtually be pressed onto the interior walls of a household appliance by means of the worm drive and can therefore be force-lockingly fixed and thus sufficiently secured against an unintentional pulling-out.
