Benefits of technology

[0008]The surface of the perimeter plate and burner plate can be fully exposed, rather than shielded or screened, as the plurality of pilot burners are provided to help re-ignite a flame above the burner, even if wind causes a flameout. Thus, in some embodiments, the perimeter plate and burner plate can also have reflective surfaces to help maximize light provided by the burner assembly. Furthermore, in some embodiments of the present invention, the surfaces of the perimeter plate and burner plate are decorative, and provided with decorative patterns, since they can be visible and exposed without being shielded for protection from flame-out.

Problems solved by technology

Gas burners can generally experience flameout problems in the face of wind or other environmental elements, and the nozzles of such decorative outdoor burners are therefore often screened from wind.
As such, limitations exist in the flexibility of design.

Abstract

A burner assembly having a burner plate provided with a plurality of spaced apart nozzles thereon. A plurality of pilot burners are disposed at different locations proximate the burner plate. The pilot burners can be partially shielded within canopies with the burner plate being unshielded.

Description

BACKGROUND[0001]1. Field of the Invention[0002]The present invention relates to burners, and more particularly, to decorative outdoor burners, or fire bowls, having shielded pilot burners.[0003]2. Description of Related Art[0004]Decorative outdoor burner devices have become a popular luxury in the United States and elsewhere. They are often used to provide heat, ambience and lighting to such locations as a patios, backyards, and porches, to name a few. Many of these outdoor burner devices include bowl-like body configurations, and are often referred to by retailers as “fire bowls” or “fire pits.”[0005]Many of the decorative outdoor burners use wood as fuel, but gas fueled outdoor burners are also available. Gas burners can generally experience flameout problems in the face of wind or other environmental elements, and the nozzles of such decorative outdoor burners are therefore often screened from wind. For example, in many presently available gas fueled fire pits, the burner is scre...
