Abstract
A cooktop appliance may include a top panel and a gas burner. The top panel may define an opening. The gas burner may include a burner body, a fuel tube, an injet bracket, and an insulator pad. The burner body may be positioned on the top panel at the opening. The fuel tube may extend below the burner body in upstream fluid communication therewith. The injet bracket may be mounted below the burner body. The injet bracket may define a fuel orifice disposed upstream from the fuel tube and below the top panel. The insulator pad may be disposed between the burner body and the injet bracket to restrict heat transfer therebetween.
Claims17
A cooktop appliance comprising:
- a top panel defining an opening;
- and
- a gas burner comprising
- a burner body positioned on the top panel at the opening,
- a fuel tube extending below the burner body in upstream fluid communication therewith,
- an injet bracket mounted below the burner body, the injet bracket defining a fuel orifice disposed upstream from the fuel tube and below the top panel, and
- an insulator pad disposed between the burner body and the injet bracket to restrict heat transfer therebetween, wherein the burner body comprises a burner head and a burner base, the burner base being disposed beneath the top panel in support of the fuel tube, and wherein the insulator pad is disposed against a bottom surface of the burner base.
A cooktop appliance comprising:
- a top panel defining an opening;
- and
- a gas burner comprising
- a burner body positioned on the top panel at the opening,
- a primary fuel tube extending below the burner body in upstream fluid communication therewith,
- a secondary fuel tube extending below the burner body in upstream fluid communication therewith apart from the primary fuel tube,
- an injet bracket mounted below the burner body, the injet bracket defining a first fuel orifice disposed upstream from the primary fuel tube, the injet bracket further defining a second fuel orifice disposed upstream from the secondary fuel tube,
- an insulator pad disposed between the burner body and the injet bracket to restrict heat transfer therebetween,
- a primary gas line extending to the injet bracket upstream from the first fuel orifice, and
- a secondary gas line extending to the injet bracket upstream from the second fuel orifice.
