Abstract
A cooktop appliance and a gas burner assembly are provided. The gas burner assembly is positioned at a top panel and includes an annular burner body positioned at a top surface of the top panel. The annular burner body forms a central combustion zone, a plurality of flame ports at the central combustion zone, and an annular mixing chamber upstream from the plurality of flame ports to permit a fuel-air mixture to flow into the central combustion zone through the plurality of flame ports. An annular burner base forms a bottom wall of the mixing chamber and an annular burner head forms a top wall of the mixing chamber. A puck including a domed projection separably positioned at the top surface of the top panel and extending toward the central combustion zone.
Claims20
A cooktop appliance, comprising:
- a top panel comprising a top surface;
- a gas burner assembly positioned at the top panel, the gas burner assembly comprising;
- an annular burner body positioned at the top surface of the top panel, the annular burner body forming a central combustion zone, a plurality of flame ports at the central combustion zone, and an annular mixing chamber upstream from the plurality of flame ports to permit a fuel-air mixture to flow into the central combustion zone through the plurality of flame ports;
- an annular burner base forming a bottom wall of the mixing chamber;
- and
- an annular burner head forming a top wall of the mixing chamber;
- and
- a puck comprising a domed projection separably positioned at the top surface of the top panel and extending toward the central combustion zone, wherein the puck comprises an arm extending from the projection, wherein a first opening is positioned through the arm to allow a fastener to extend therethrough into a second opening at the burner base, wherein a raised material extends between a head of the fastener and a bottom surface of the burner base.
A gas burner assembly for a cooktop appliance, the gas burner assembly comprising:
- an annular burner body forming a central combustion zone, a plurality of flame ports at the central combustion zone, and an annular mixing chamber upstream from the plurality of flame ports to permit a fuel-air mixture to flow into the central combustion zone through the plurality of flame ports;
- an annular burner base forming a bottom wall of the mixing chamber;
- an annular burner head forming a top wall of the mixing chamber;
- and
- a puck comprising a domed projection separably positioned at a top surface of a top panel and extending toward the central combustion zone, wherein the puck comprises an arm extending from the projection, wherein a first opening is positioned through the arm to allow a fastener to extend therethrough into a second opening at the burner base, wherein a third opening is formed at an outer wall of the burner head, and wherein the fastener is extendable into the first opening, the second opening, and the third opening to couple the puck to the burner body, the burner base, and the burner head.
