  • Patent number: 4938687
    Abstract: This invention relates to a gas cooking apparatus with a rotary burner and electrical ignition. The burner carrier (10) is inserted in the top of a rotating support (3) fitting onto a feed pipe (40) with a horizontal venturi, in relation to which it turns by means of a chain drive (53) and of a geared motor (50). The off-center burner (20) includes gas outlet nozzles over a sector of 280.degree. only and distributed symmetrically in relation to a plane in which passes the burner carrier rotation axis (10) directed towards the outside of this burner carrier. The gas outlet ducts (21) of the burner (20) make an angle of 10.degree. to 20.degree., upwards, in relation to the horizontal plane. The base of the off-center burner (20) includes radial ribs (22) distributed symmetrically over a sector identical to that of the gas outlet nozzles (21). The igniter is integral with the rotating support.
