  • Patent number: 6213760
    Abstract: There is provided a burner to be used for a portable gas cooking stove, including (a) a mixture gas pipe having an open end through which a gas mixture of combustible gas and air is exhausted, (b) a burner head connected to the mixture gas pipe in a hermetically sealed condition and having at least one opening at a surface thereof, the gas mixture blowing out through the opening, and (c) an igniter igniting the gas mixture blowing out through the opening of the burner head, the igniter generating a spark in a direction perpendicular to a flow of the gas mixture blowing out through the opening of the burner head. The burner makes it possible for the spark to make contact with the gas mixture flow in a larger contact area than that of a conventional burner. Accordingly, it is possible to stably ignite the gas mixture, even if the gas mixture has a great flow velocity.

  • Patent number: 6173709
    Abstract: There is provided a portable gas cooking stove, including (a) a mixture gas pipe having an open end through which a mixture gas of combustible gas and air is exhausted, (b) a burner head connected to the mixture gas pipe in a hermetically sealed condition and having at least one opening at a surface thereof, the mixture gas blowing out through the opening, (c) an igniter igniting the mixture gas blowing out through the opening of the burner head, and (d) a windscreen surrounding the burner head and formed with a flame hole facing the opening of the burner head, the igniter being located outside the windscreen in facing relation to the flame hole. The portable gas cooking stove makes it no longer necessary to provide a net to an inner wall of a burner head, which was necessary to do in a conventional gas cooking stove, ensuring reduction in a period of time necessary for fabricating a flame hole and simplification in steps of fabricating a flame hole.
