Burner body, metal sheet plate of domestic appliance and fastening system for the burner body on the metal sheet element

A metal sheet plate for a domestic gas cooking hob, wherein:

• the metal sheet plate comprises at least one punched hole,
• two slide rails are formed at opposite sides of the punched hole,
• the slide rails are formed as L-shaped profile parts, and
• the slide rails are provided for receiving at least one complementary element of a burner body.

A domestic gas cooking hob comprising:

• a gas burner having a burner body with a base plate comprising a pair of lateral wings opposing and extending parallel to one another at a lower portion of the burner body;
• a metal sheet plate adapted to support the gas burner and comprising a pair of spaced slide rails opposing and extending parallel to one another, said slide rails being formed as taps punched in the sheet metal plate so that they extend above an upper surface of the sheet metal plate, said slide rails being spaced apart from one another so as to slidingly accommodate therebetween the base plate of said burner body, including said pair of lateral wings thereof, along a sliding axis parallel to the slide rails, wherein said slide rails further are shaped to complementarily engage the respective opposing wings of said base plate so as to permit sliding thereof along said sliding axis but to inhibit movement thereof transverse to said sliding axis;
• wherein upon translating said gas burner horizontally along said sliding axis with said opposing wings of the base plate engaged with the opposing slide rails of the metal sheet plate, said gas burner and said metal sheet plate are configured to achieve a snap-fit connection therebetween that inhibits further horizontal translation along said sliding in either direction, thereby fixing said gas burner to said metal sheet plate.
