Definitions

  • the present invention essentially relates to an improved gas stove.
  • cookers In general, cookers always have a single function for cooking from above, namely cooking food in containers of various shapes on open or uncovered fires.
  • the heating is located on the bottom of the container, so that the foodstuffs it contains cannot be cooked in a homogeneous manner, that is to say by heating taking place over the entire surface. bottom and peripheral of the container.
  • cookers have already been proposed, the top face of which has an opening defining a housing capable of receiving a cooking pan forming a fryer.
  • the electric heating resistance fixed on the outer face of the bottom of the tank does not allow this tank to be considered as constituting an immediately removable container, that is to say as a container that can be at will and easily placed in the opening of the stove and out of this opening, just like a usual kitchen container such as a pan that is simply placed on the stove and removed after cooking.
  • the present invention therefore aims to remedy the above drawback by proposing an improved cooker in the sense that it makes it possible to integrate into the top part of the cooker a container which can be used as simply as a conventional cooking container, such as a saucepan or even a dish for serving cooked food, with the added benefit that food will be heated and cooked evenly, and the problems of overflow will be virtually eliminated.
  • the subject of the invention is an improved gas stove, the upper face of which comprises at least one opening forming a housing capable of receiving a cooking container for any foodstuffs, characterized in that under the container and inside the cooker is fitted with at least one gas burner to heat the container which is removable in its housing and which can be removed immediately after cooking the foodstuffs contained in the container.
  • the gas burner located under the container is supported by a bowl or the like retained on the edge of the opening forming a housing for said container.
  • This bowl is interposed between a casing and the bottom of the container.
  • the stove of this invention is further characterized by a free space left between the edges of the bowl and of the container for the exhaust of combustion gases.
  • the aforementioned free space may be created by the support of the container on stops or the like secured to the bowl.
  • the aforementioned free space can also communicate with a chamber extending under the upper face of the cooker to form a heating zone for the container.
  • the casing and the bowl have combustion air inlet openings.
  • the openings on the bowl are formed in the sides thereof and / or on bosses or the like provided in the bottom of the bowl to prevent the overflow of foodstuffs through said bowl.
  • a wall forming a heat shield and defining with the casing a chamber receiving the control elements of the gas burner.
  • the casing will advantageously be provided in the upper part with a window allowing the viewing of the flame emitted by the burner.
  • the burner has a circular head mounted through through the bottom wall of the bowl or else constitutes a ramp fixed on said bottom wall.
  • a gas stove which, according to an exemplary embodiment, forms a parallelepipedal block 1 whose front face is provided with a door 2 for access to an oven and a plurality of buttons 3 for controlling the arrival and extinction of gas supplying the stove lights.
  • the upper face 4 of the stove is equipped with two conventional burner heads 5, the discovered flame of which can heat any kitchen receptacles placed on said heads.
  • the upper face 4 of the cooker 1 has an opening forming a housing 6 capable of receiving a container 7 allowing the cooking of any foodstuffs and under which is mounted, inside the cooker , a gas burner generally identified at 8.
  • the container 7 which, according to the example of embodiment shown, has the shape of a rectangular tank, is easily removable mounted in the housing 6 in a manner which will be described in detail below, and this so as to allow its handling as simply as a container classic kitchen that is placed on an open gas burner, such as the burner 5.
  • the gas burner 8 located under the container 7 is, as can be seen in Figure 2, supported by a bowl or the like 10 retained on the edge 1 of the opening forming housing 6 for said container.
  • the burner 8 has a circular head 12 which is mounted through the bottom wall 13 of the bowl 10, said bowl being interposed between the bottom wall 14 of the container 7 and a casing 15 secured to the underside of the upper face 4 from the stove, as seen in 16.
  • the bottom wall 14 of this container forms with the bowl 10 the housing 6 which constitutes a combustion chamber.
  • the combustion gases will be distributed in the chamber or housing 6 to uniformly heat the entire outer surface of the container 7, so that the foodstuffs contained in this container will be heated and cooked in a homogeneous manner, which is not the case with open flame burners, such as the burners visible at 5 in FIG. 1.
  • the free space 17 left between the edges 9 and 18 allows the combustion gases in the housing or the chamber 6 to escape towards the external atmosphere as shown by arrows in FIG. 2.
  • the free or exhaust space 17 is created by the fact that the bottom wall 14 of the container or tank 7 is supported on stops or the like 19 integral with the bowl 10 and projecting towards the inside of it.
  • the stops 19 are provided on the underside of the bottom wall 14 of the container 7 and cooperate with the side wall 20 of the bowl 10.
  • the stops could be shaped so as to form feet for the container 7 which consequently could constitute a hollow dish or a vegetable dish which can be placed directly on a table.
  • the stops could also be an integral part of the burner 8, in which case the container 7 would rest on this burner by means of said stops. But we could perfectly, without departing from the scope of the invention, rest the container directly on the burner 8 which would then play the role of a self-supporting burner.
  • the free space 17 communicates with a chamber 21 which extends under the upper face 4 of the cooker and which opens towards the rear of this one. ci as seen in 22 so as to allow the evacuation of hot gases.
  • the chamber 21 formed by the upper face 4 of the stove and a lateral extension 15a of the casing 15 constitute advantageously an area allowing the reheating of containers usually used for cooking, it being understood that the container (s) to be reheated will simply have to be placed on the upper face 4 of the cooker above the chamber 21.
  • the casing 15 has in its bottom openings 23 for the entry of combustion air.
  • the bowl 10 also includes openings 24 forming inlets for the combustion air.
  • the openings 24 are formed at the top of a boss 25 provided on the bottom 13 of the bowl 10, while in the embodiment of Figure 3, the combustion air inlets 24 are provided on at least one of the sides 20 of the bowl 10 which, as explained above, makes it possible to collect overflows of foodstuffs.
  • the air inlets 24 will prevent the flow towards the casing 15 of overflows of food retained by the bowl 10.
  • the combustion air will be distributed around the head 12 of the burner 8 passing through the bottom 13 of the bowl 10 at the level of the boss 25 comprising the openings 24.
  • FIGS. 2 and 3 a wall forming a heat shield vis-à-vis the housing 6 forming a distribution chamber of hot gases around the container 7.
  • This wall 26 defines with the housing 15 a chamber 27 receiving the elements gas burner control 8.
  • These control elements are essentially constituted by a thermostatic valve 28.
  • the latter is provided on a pipe 29 connected to an assembly 30 forming a venturi system and gas injector, which is connected to the burner 8, as is clearly visible in FIGS. 2 and 3.
  • a window 31 is provided which is seen in FIGS. 1, 2 and 3 and which advantageously makes it possible to view the flame emitted by the burner 8.
  • FIG. 3 differs from that of Figure 2 by the presence of the heating chamber 21 already described, and also by the arrangement of the air inlet openings 24 in the bowl 10, the path followed by the combustion air being materialized by arrows in Figures 2 and 3.
  • FIG. 3 differs from that of FIG. 2, in that the burner 8 is here a gas rail 32 located inside the bowl 10 and fixed by screwing or any other suitable means on its wall background 13.
  • the burner 8 is here a gas rail 32 located inside the bowl 10 and fixed by screwing or any other suitable means on its wall background 13.
  • an ignition system for the ramp 32 which consists of an electrode 33 and a remote control 34. Safety is ensured by a thermocouple 35 which comma of the gas cut off at tap 28. It will be observed that the gas rail 32 allows the construction of the assembly reduced in height and ensuring good distribution of the heat in the combustion chamber 6 around the container 7.
  • edge 9 of the container 7 bears directly on the top 4 of the stove.
  • the upper edge 9 of the container 7 is folded outwards to advantageously constitute an anti-drip means which, moreover, cooperates closely with the folded upper edge 18 of the bowl 10 supporting the burner 8.
  • a gas stove has therefore been produced according to the invention equipped with a compact assembly with an easily removable container and which can be heated uniformly over its entire surface, the cleaning problems being limited to the container itself, as would be the case. case with a usual kitchen container.
  • the heat source heating the tank is somehow locked up and there are no safety issues with the flame, just as there is no risk of the tank overturning.
  • it will suffice to clean the top of the cooker around the pan, it being understood that the overflows arriving towards the interior of the cooker will be recovered by the bowl supporting the burner, and this without risk of blockage of the combustion air openings or openings.
