## Abstract

A gas cooking appliance is disclosed that according to one embodiment includes at least one gas burner and a gas tap. The gas tap includes a gas inlet conduit and at least one gas outlet conduit suitable for conducting gas to the gas burner. An injector arranged fixed to the outlet conduit, the outlet conduit being in fluid communication with the injector with the injector providing an outlet for the gas flow to the burner. The injector includes at least two outlet holes for the exit of gas to the burner, with each outlet hole having a respective outlet mouth.

## Claims

### Claim 1

A gas cooking appliance comprising:
a gas burner having an inlet mouth,
a gas tap in fluid communication with the burner, the gas tap including a body with a gas inlet conduit and a gas outlet conduit, the gas tap being configured to receive a gas at the inlet conduit and to regulate a flow rate of the gas to the outlet conduit; and
an injector fixed to the gas tap body, the injector including first and second outlet holes in fluid communication with the outlet conduit of the gas tap, the first and second outlet holes respectively having first and second outlet mouths located inside the inlet mouth of the gas burner; wherein the gas burner includes first and second side air absorption windows, the first and second outlet mouths of the injector being located in a space separating the first and second air absorption windows.

### Claim 2 (depends on 1)

The gas cooking appliance according to claim 1, wherein the gas burner includes first and second side air absorption windows, the first and second outlet mouths of the injector being centered in a space separating the first and second air absorption windows.

### Claim 3 (depends on 1)

The gas cooking appliance according to claim 1, wherein the gas burner includes first and second side air absorption windows, the first and second outlet mouths being respectively spaced apart from the first and second air absorption windows by a same distance.

### Claim 4 (depends on 3)

The gas cooking appliance according to claim 3, wherein the gas burner includes first and second elongate vertical walls that are horizontally spaced apart from one another, the first and second air absorption windows respectively residing in the first and second elongate vertical walls, the first and second outlet mouths being horizontally aligned with respect to one another.

### Claim 5 (depends on 4)

The gas cooking appliance according to claim 4, wherein the first and second air absorption windows are arranged parallel to one another.

### Claim 6 (depends on 4)

The gas cooking appliance according to claim 4, wherein the first outlet mouth has a first central axis and the second outlet mouth has a second central axis, the first and second central axes being horizontally separated by a first distance, the first central axis being horizontally separated from the first air absorption window by a second distance and the second central axis being horizontally separated from the second air absorption window by a third distance, the first distance being less than each of the second and third distances.

### Claim 7 (depends on 6)

The gas cooking appliance according to claim 6, wherein the first distance is less than or equal to 5 millimeters.

### Claim 8 (depends on 3)
