Abstract
A gas burner assembly for connection to a source of gas includes a burner body including at least one receptacle, a burner cap positioned on the burner body, at least two isolation walls coupled to the burner body, and at least one projection extending from the burner cap. The projection is configured to allow substantially uniform gas distribution through a plurality of burner ports at a first gas input rate, and configured to limit the gas distribution to at least one burner port at a second input rate greater than the first input rate input rate.
Claims29
A gas burner assembly for connection to a source of gas, said gas burner assembly comprising;
- a burner body comprising at least one receptacle;
- a burner cap positioned on said burner body;
- at least two isolation walls coupled to said burner body;
- and
- at least one projection extending from said burner cap and separated from said isolation walls by a distance, said projection configured to allow substantially uniform gas distribution through a plurality of burner ports at a first gas input rate, and configured to limit said gas distribution to at least one said burner port at a second input rate greater than the first input rate.
A gas range comprising:
- a cooktop;
- and
- a gas burner assembly for connection to a source of gas positioned in said cooktop, said gas burner assembly comprising:
- a burner body comprising at least one receptacle;
- a burner cap positioned on said burner body;
- at least two isolation walls coupled to said burner body;
- and
- at least one tripping pin extending from said burner cap and separated from said isolation walls by a distance, said tripping pin configured to allow substantially uniform gas distribution through a plurality of burner ports at a first gas input rate, and configured to limit said gas distribution to at least one said burner port at a maximum input rate greater than the first input rate.
A method for varying a gas output of a gas range burner assembly, said method comprising:
- forming at least one receptacle in a burner body;
- positioning a burner cap on the burner body;
- forming at least two isolation walls in the burner body;
- and
- forming at least one projection on the burner cap that is separated from the isolation walls by a distance, the projection configured to allow substantially uniform gas distribution through a plurality of burner ports at a first gas input rat, and configured to limit the gas distribution to at least one burner port at a second input rate greater than the first input rate.
A gas range comprising:
- a cooktop;
- and
- a gas burner assembly for connection to a source of gas positioned in said cooktop, said gas burner assembly comprising:
- a burner body comprising at least one receptacle;
- a burner cap positioned on said burner body;
- at least two isolation walls coupled to said burner body;
- and
- at least one tripping pin positioned on said burner cap between said body and said burner cap and separated from said isolation walls by a distance, said tripping pin configured to allow substantially uniform gas distribution through a plurality of burner ports at a first gas input rate, and configured to limit said gas distribution to at least one said burner port at a maximum input rate greater than the first input rate.
A burner cap for a gas burner including a burner body having a plurality of burner ports and at least two isolation walls coupled thereto, said burner cap comprising:
- a cover member disposed over a top of the burner body, said cover member having a first side facing the burner body;
- a tripping pin formed on said first side of said cover member and extending toward the burner body into a fuel flow path of the burner and separated from the isolation walls by a distance, said tripping pin configured to allow substantially uniform gas distribution through the burner ports at a first gas input rate, and configured to limit gas distribution to at least one of the burner ports at a second input rate greater than the first input rate;
- and
- an indexing pin extending from said first side of said cover member, said indexing pin sized to be received in a receptacle on the burner body to positively position said cover member on the burner body.
