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 defining a passage for receipt of gaseous fuel for combusting;
- a second burner tube spaced apart from said first burner tube along the transverse direction, said second burner tube defining a passage for receipt of gaseous fuel for combusting;
- a runner tube extending between a first end portion and a second end portion along the transverse direction, the first end portion of said runner tube positioned at said first burner tube, the second end portion of said runner tube positioned at said second burner tube;
- a first scoop mounted at the first end portion of said runner tube and positioned within the passage of said first burner tube;
- and
- a second scoop mounted at the second end portion of said runner tube and positioned within the passage of said second burner tube.
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 passage for directing a flow of gaseous fuel therethrough;
- a runner tube extending between said pair of burner tubes along the transverse direction and fluidly connecting the passages of said pair of burner tubes;
- and
- a pair of projections mounted on opposite transverse ends of said runner tube, each projection of said pair of projections positioned within a respective passage of the passages 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 passage for directing a flow of gaseous fuel therethrough;
- a runner tube extending between said pair of burner tubes along the transverse direction and fluidly connecting the passages of said pair of burner tubes;
- and
- a scoop mounted at an end portion of said runner tube, said scoop positioned within one of the passages of said pair of burner tubes.
