  • Patent number: 10731851
    Abstract: A gas burner having a combustion chamber with a bottom and a circumferential wall. A plurality of fuel exit ports are disposed in the circumferential wall, and are directed generally inwardly toward the combustion chamber and upwardly from the bottom of the combustion chamber. The fuel exit ports are preferably directed inwardly at an angle that is slightly rotated from a central axis of the burner to create a swirling flame. A plurality of secondary air inlets extend through the bottom of the combustion chamber. An injector orifice is aligned with the central axis of the burner. The injector orifice is secured to the cooktop using a bracket, which has an orifice-securing surface, with two sidewalls extending therefrom and terminating in fastening flanges. The fastening flanges have asymmetrically arranged slots therein to receive tabs extending from the burner to ensure proper alignment of the burner and the injector orifice.

  • Patent number: 10352558
    Abstract: A burner assembly for a cooktop includes a base portion having one or more vents and an eccentric stem. A cover portion is received on the base portion to define a mixing chamber disposed between the cover portion and the base portion. The cover portion includes a plurality of fuel ports opening inwardly into a centrally disposed combustion chamber. A venturi mixer is received through the eccentric stem and is configured to provide a primary-air and gas mixture to the mixing chamber as supplied from the cooktop. An aperture is disposed through an upper surface of the cooktop and is configured to pivotally receive the eccentric stem of the base portion for pivoting the burner assembly on the cooktop.
