Each foot of the plurality of feet is configured to interface with the grate when the cover is in the mounted position on the grate.
Claims14
A cooktop appliance defining a vertical direction, a lateral direction, and a transverse direction, wherein the vertical direction, the lateral direction, and the transverse direction are mutually perpendicular, the cooktop appliance comprising:
- a top panel;
- a burner disposed on the top panel;
- a grate mounted on the top panel;
- and
- a cover selectively mountable to the grate and fully removable from the grate, the cover comprising:
- a panel defining a top surface and a bottom surface, the top surface and the bottom surface spaced apart along the vertical direction when the cover is in a mounted position on the grate and the grate is in a mounted position on the top panel;
- and
- a plurality of feet attached to the bottom surface of the panel, each foot of the plurality of feet configured to interface with the grate when the cover is in the mounted position on the grate, wherein each foot of the plurality of feet comprises a first outer surface, a second outer surface, and a middle surface, the second outer surface generally parallel to the first outer surface, the middle surface adjoining the first outer surface at a first edge of the middle surface and adjoining the second outer surface at a second edge of the middle surface opposite the first edge, the second outer surface of each foot facing one of the lateral direction or the transverse direction when the cover is in the mounted position on the grate, the second outer surface of one or more feet of the plurality of feet in contact with the grate when the cover is in the mounted position on the grate, the middle surface of each foot facing downwards along the vertical direction, the middle surface of each foot resting on an upper surface of the grate when the cover is in the mounted position on the grate, and the first outer surface extending away from the grate starting at the first edge of the middle surface when the cover is in the mounted position on the grate.
