Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a built-in type cooking hob, particularly apt to be easily and conveniently mounted in a single unit in suitable openings of kitchen furniture.
  • the present invention relates to a type of cooking hobs apt to be applied to modem kitchens, mainly for domestic use, and in particular to the so-called built-in kitchens, wherein the household appliances are inserted inside their respective pieces of furniture.
  • Said type of cooking hobs includes particular cooking elements that characterise said hobs.
  • the cooking elements can be gas burners or electrical or radiant plates, grills, or other known systems.
  • the aforesaid cooking hobs generally constructed in easily machined and finished metal materials, present the covers of the respective gas burners or, in general, alternative cooking elements, already preformed by moulding. Said covers present central threaded holes in which the burners are screwed. Last of all, on the cooking hob and on the burners are placed the pot-holders of each gas burners. Said cooking hobs can also present other types of cooking elements in addition to the gas burners, for example radiant or electric hot plates.
  • gas cookers were further manufactured with the gas burner covers positioned on the higher cooking hobs, and the burners set on supports at a lower position in the range itself connected to the frame.
  • the gas cocks for controlling the burners' flame were connected to the aforesaid supports, and frontally built-in to the piece of furniture of the kitchen.
  • document US 3,877,865 which can be considered as the closest prior art document, discloses a burner having an aeration pan assembly made in such a way that the diameter of the secondary air opening around the burner can be decreased.
  • the bottom of the pan extends upwardly toward the burner at a slope directed toward the burner port bases to guide supplemental secondary air drawn into the pan through openings in its side wall.
  • said document does not disclose a pan apt to realise efficient and complete modularity of the cooking element.
  • the gas cookers described above are of a different type from those for which the present invention is destined.
  • these ranges are of the type built with a metal structure including cooking hobs, oven, and sometimes also the housing for the gas bottle, all in a single and transportable structure separated from the rest of the kitchen furniture.
  • the most important aim of this invention is to solve the aforesaid drawbacks by realising cooking hobs including cooking elements of a particular constitution, the use of which guarantees greater versatility in the realisation of the hobs.
  • said hobs can be suited to a wide range of design needs, to a variety of cooking element layouts, and to combined gas burner use with different heat capacities.
  • a further aim is to realise new variants and types of cooking hobs in a simple and easier way, without the need for adapting whole production lines or new moulds for this purpose with all the relative costs involved.
  • Another aim is to succeed in realising appreciable flexibility for manufacturing said cooking hobs with new manufacturing modularity, reduced costs and a large variety of stylistic personalization of the same hobs.
  • a cooking element and more specifically, a gas burner, referenced 1, while a cooking hob including said elements referenced 10.
  • Said cooking hob 10 presents housing holes 10A for said cooking elements 1.
  • a cooking element 1 or a gas burner made up of a cover 2 with a threaded hole in the centre is illustrated in Fig. 1 and Fig. 2 .
  • a cup 4 of a burner element is screwed into said hole, and referenced 3.
  • the cup 4 presents a mouth 41 apt to be connected to a gas hose that passes below the cooking hob 10, terminating with a threaded outlet onto which a nozzle 5 is screwed to distribute a settled quantity of gas.
  • said nozzle 5 is regulated to supply a certain heat capacity to gas burner 1.
  • the cup 4 shows then a small shelf 4M on the side drilled with a hole for the insertion of known auxiliary means such as an ignition plug 6 to strike the flame in the gas burner and/or a thermocouple to activate a safety protection system against gas leaks, this not being illustrated for simplicity's sake.
  • known auxiliary means such as an ignition plug 6 to strike the flame in the gas burner and/or a thermocouple to activate a safety protection system against gas leaks, this not being illustrated for simplicity's sake.
  • a flame separator element 7 closed on top by a cap 8 is positioned above the cup support 4.
  • the gas to be burnt coming from an external duct fastened to the mouth 41, spreads inside the cup 4 of the gas burner element 3 mixing with the air; finally, the gas bums coming out through the flame separator element 7.
  • Cover 2 of the gas burner 1 shows seats 2S near the bottom of said cover 2, into which the arms of a pot-holder 9 are lodged.
  • the conformation of the external edge 2B of the cover 2 is a particularly important component of cooking element 1.
  • said external edge 2B is folded over slightly in a downward direction to provide greater stability in supporting cover 2, and consequently the whole cooking element 1.
  • the cooking hob 10 could have a flared form near the housing hole 10A of the cooking element 1, in order to better employ the external edge 2B of the cooking element 1 stably supported.
  • Fig. 2 shows the external edge 2B in a flat version apt to be attached in a common way to the lower surface of cooking hob 10.
  • fixing elements such as screws could be used in order to be applied from the bottom to the top, rivets, or even plain pasting with suitable heat resistant glues.
  • Said fixing elements not illustrated for simplicity's sake, could further constitute stylized and visible elements to contribute to a new and original appearance of the whole cooking hob 10.
  • Fig. 3 shows a cooking hob 10 according to the invention that seems to be completely similar to the cooking hobs currently on the market.
  • said cooking hob 10 shows three cooking elements 1 made up of gas burners with various capacities inserted into three housing holes 10A of compatible sizes.
  • the employed cooking elements 1 are of the type shown in Fig. 1 as can be seen by the raised edges 2B having light-coloured lines in Fig. 3 , that abut on the edge of the housing holes 10A.
  • FIG. 4 A different illustration of the cooking element, i.e. the gas burner illustrated in Fig. 1 , is shown in Fig. 4 , and referenced 1'.
  • This burner 1' presents a burner element 3' of the so-called "square" type, widely illustrated and described in the Patent for an Italian utility model N° TO2002U000101 in the name of the same applicant.
  • Fig. 4 shows the particular square shape of the cover 2', having a flat edge 2B' preferably apt to be connected to a cooking hob 10 on the respective lower surface, aligned with housing hole 10A.
  • Said cooking hobs can be fitted to the widest range of design requirements and different layouts of the elements in a versatile, economical and efficient manner. Moreover, it is possible to combine gas burners with different applied heat capacities, as well as gas burners with cooking elements of other types such as electric, radiant hot plates, grills etc.
  • the most important aspect therefore, is the possibility of realising cooking hobs with different types and variants in a simple and easy manner without having to fit whole production lines or produce new moulds for this purpose with all the relative costs involved.
  • One advantage is therefore to be able to obtain considerable productive flexibility of said cooking hobs using a new realization modularity, reduced costs, and wide possibilities of personalized design for cooking hob layout.
  • a cooking hob according to the present invention, of any type of a cooking elements currently known in the state of the art.
  • the gas burners shown in Fig. 1-4 can be combined with or replaced by electric or radiant hot plates, grill or barbecue type elements, either electrically controlled, or charcoal burners.
