20090320823 | COOKTOP SWIRL BURNER - A gas burner for a cooking appliance is described. The gas burner includes a burner with an inner and outer wall positioned on a burner base, and a circular combustion chamber. The burner includes a plurality of angled fuel exit ports in the inner wall that swirl gaseous fuel into the combustion chamber. The burner also includes vanes on the base of the burner that swirl air drawn into the burner by convection. | 12-31-2009 |
20100104992 | OVAL BURNER ALIGNMENT METHOD - An apparatus includes a gas burner assembly which includes a gas burner and a gas supply conduit. The gas burner includes a gas supply opening and a substantially cylindrical socket formed on the exterior of the gas burner around the gas supply opening. The gas supply conduit includes an opening at an end and a substantially tubular adjoining section proximate to the opening. The adjoining section is configured to mate with the socket and includes a substantially radial protrusion. The socket includes a substantially radial depression for receiving the protrusion. As the gas supply conduit is connected with the gas burner to establish fluid communication at the gas supply opening, the protrusion is engaged in the depression thereby aligning the adjoining section in a predetermined manner about the socket and restricting rotational movement of the adjoining section about the socket. | 04-29-2010 |
20100175683 | HIGH EFFICIENCY BURNER - A gas burner for an appliance includes a base and a cover. The base includes a wall peripherally formed about the base. The wall includes a plurality of slits extending through the wall and downwardly from a top of the wall. A cover is configured to be placed on the base and form a chamber in fluid communication with a gas conduit. The cover is configured to bound the slits to define a plurality of ports for releasing combustible gas exteriorly of the gas burner. The ports include an entry section near the inner surface and an exit section near the outer surface. Each of the slits includes a floor that is curved upwards from the entry section to the exit section. | 07-15-2010 |
20100206293 | GAS BURNER - A gas burner for a cooking appliance includes at least one combustion chamber with a first gas inlet forming a substantially annular outer flame ring and a substantially annular inner flame ring. At least one flame channel is configured to trigger ignition of at least one of the inner flame ring and outer flame ring. In one example, at least one transfer burner port is in gas-flow communication with the combustible gas in the at least one combustion chamber. | 08-19-2010 |
20100307474 | BROIL BURNER - A cooking apparatus includes a cooking cavity and a heat source located within the cooking cavity. A shield is mounted relative to the heat source wherein the shield includes at least one side edge with an undulating pattern. The undulating pattern is configured to deflect heat from the heat source to different sections of the cooking cavity to provide a substantially uniform distribution of heat within the cooking cavity. | 12-09-2010 |
20110290231 | SIMMER PLATE ATTACHED TO BURNER - A gas burner includes a burner body and a simmer plate assembly. The burner body includes a central cavity in which at least one flame is provided. The simmer plate assembly includes a plate portion and a base portion configured to support the plate portion. The assembly is configured to be at least partially and removably inserted into the central cavity. The plate portion is configured to act as a barrier between the at least one flame and a heated object placed above the gas burner. | 12-01-2011 |
