Abstract: The gas cooking assembly of the invention includes at least one gas-fired burner which has a burner chamber and a burner plate, especially a burner plate made of fiber material, the gas-fired burner being arranged below a continuous cooking plate made of a material conductive to heat radiation such as a glass ceramic, glass, ceramic or the like material. Control units are provided for metering gas as well as conventional ignition units, safety units and temperature-monitoring units. Exhaust-gas channels conduct away combustion gases. A blower brings additional air to the burner plate. The blower and control unit are located in a partitioned-off space wherein an overpressure is maintained by the blower. The partitioned-off space is connected via pipes to the burner chamber and to the ambient. The pipes are gas tight at their peripheral surfaces in the region outside of said partitioned-off space.

Abstract: A device for inhibiting an increase in temperature in a gas cooker including a cooker body, a combustion chamber defined in the cooker body and provided with an upper burner and a lower burner both constituting a grille, a manipulation unit disposed at a front portion of the cooker body, and a flue communicated with the combustion chamber, the device comprising a plurality of air intake ports provided between the grille and the manipulation unit, an air passage communicated at one end thereof with the air intake ports and at the other end thereof with the duct, the air passage being disposed above the combustion chamber, an insulating member disposed between the air passage and the combustion chamber, and an exhaust port communicated with an outlet of the combustion chamber and the duct, whereby a natural convection type cooling construction utilizing a heat generated by a combustion carried out in the combustion chamber is obtained.
