Claims20
An oven appliance defining a vertical direction, a lateral direction, and a transverse direction, the vertical, lateral, and transverse directions being mutually perpendicular, the oven appliance comprising:
- a cabinet that defines a cooking chamber for receipt of food items for cooking, the cooking chamber of said cabinet extending between a top portion and a bottom portion along the vertical direction;
- a broil gas burner assembly positioned at the top portion of the cooking chamber, said broil gas burner assembly comprising
- a first burner tube extending between a first end portion and a second end portion along the lateral direction, said first burner tube defining a series of outlets dispersed along the lateral direction between the first end portion of said first burner tube and the second end portion of said first burner tube;
- a second burner tube spaced apart from said first burner tube along the transverse direction, said second burner tube extending between a first end portion and a second end portion along the lateral direction, said second burner tube defining a series of exits dispersed along the lateral direction between the first end portion of said second burner tube and the second end portion of said second burner tube;
- a runner tube extending between said first burner tube and said second burner tube along the transverse direction, said runner tube defining a series of openings distributed along the transverse direction between said first and second burner tubes.
An oven appliance defining a vertical direction, a lateral direction, and a transverse direction, the vertical, lateral, and transverse directions being mutually perpendicular, the oven appliance comprising:
- a cabinet that defines a cooking chamber for receipt of food items for cooking, the cooking chamber of said cabinet extending between a top portion and a bottom portion along the vertical direction;
- a pair of burner tubes positioned at the top portion of the cooking chamber, the burner tubes of said pair of burner tubes spaced apart from each other along the transverse direction, each burner tube of said pair of burner tubes defining a series of laterally spaced apart ports;
- a runner tube extending between and fluidly connecting the burner tubes of said pair of burner tubes, said runner tube defining a series of transversely spaced apart openings, said runner tube configured for carrying flames between the burner tubes of said pair of burner tubes.
A gas burner assembly for an oven appliance, the gas burner assembly defining a vertical direction, a lateral direction, and a transverse direction, the vertical, lateral, and transverse directions being mutually perpendicular, the gas burner assembly comprising:
- a pair of burner tubes spaced apart from each other along the transverse direction, each burner tube of said pair of burner tubes defining a series of laterally spaced apart ports, each burner tube of said pair of burner tubes also defining an inlet;
- a pair of orifices, each orifice of said pair of orifices positioned at a respective inlet of said pair of burner tubes and configured for directing a flow of gaseous fuel into the respective inlet of said pair of burner tubes;
- a valve configured for regulating the flow of gaseous fuel to said pair of orifices;
- and
- a runner tube extending between and fluidly connecting the burner tubes of said pair of burner tubes, said runner tube defining a series of transversely spaced apart openings, said runner tube configured for carrying flames between the burner tubes of said pair of burner tubes.
