  • Patent number: 9909758
    Abstract: Gas burner, particularly for household cooking appliances, with an horizontal or vertical gas supply conduit (1), a burner body with one more flame crowns, an horizontal or vertical Venturi (4), a nozzle (5) to inject the gas flow from said gas conduit into said Venturi pipe and, means to provide the primary air flow which include a tubular conduit which is coaxial and placed outside said gas conduit, and an opening to allow the gas flow, placed between said nozzle and the inlet of the Venturi pipe. The coaxial conduit draws the respective air flow from a zone inside the body of said cooking appliance, and said opening allows the passage of the respective primary air flow sucked and coming from over the appliance top surface (12). In order to stir the primary air flow passing through said coaxial conduit, a plurality of radial wings (10A) is arranged, said wings being shaped either planar or helical, and being connected on the outer surface of said gas supply conduit.

  • Patent number: 9835327
    Abstract: The invention relates to a burner for gas-fired cooking appliances, with a structure comprised of: a body (10) defining a chamber (12) within which an injector (14) inputs the gas which, upon mixing with air, forms the gas-air combustible mixture; a ring (16) positioned over the body and provided with a periphery along which are arranged the combustible mixture outlet ports (18), and a circular plate (20) that closes the top of the burner. At least the burner ring (16) is made of a metal or a metal alloy and is coated with a thin layer of material having catalytic activity, which may be coated on a catalyst precursor porous support substrate.

  • Patent number: 8763600
    Abstract: The present invention refers to a gas burner (16), in particular a gas burner for a cooktop, comprising a plurality of burning portions (40, 42, 44). A gas burner according to the present invention comprises a plurality of burning portions (40, 42, 44) adapted to receive a gas flow from gas supply means (20, 30, 36) that comprise injector means (20) adapted to eject a gas flow diverging along the flow direction (10) to define a spreading angle Y. The gas burner is characterized in that gas-flow adjusting means (24, 25) are provided for modifying said spreading angle Y such that said gas flow is enabled to supply one or more of said plurality of burning portions (40,42, 44) depending on the adjustment of said spreading angle Y.
