Problems solved by technology

Because of, e.g., limitations in traditional manufacturing processes, such burners typically are assembled from several separate pieces, such as a burner body, a cap, and a gas conduit.
These tolerances are difficult to maintain with typical manufacturing processes, such as, e.g., forging and casting.
Additionally, gas burners commonly are exposed to extremely hi...

Abstract

A gas burner and a gas burner assembly for an appliance are provided. The gas burner assembly includes a unitary gas burner comprising a body portion, a cap portion, and a gas conduit portion. A plurality of burner ports is defined in the sidewall of the body portion of the unitary gas burner. A gas burner is also provided. The gas burner comprises a body portion, a cap portion, and a gas conduit portion that are segments of a single piece forming the gas burner.

Description

FIELD OF THE INVENTION[0001]The subject matter of the present disclosure relates generally to a gas burner for the cooktop of an appliance.BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0002]Gas burners commonly are used on the cooktops of household gas cooking appliances, including, e.g., range ovens and cooktops built into cabinetry. Because of, e.g., limitations in traditional manufacturing processes, such burners typically are assembled from several separate pieces, such as a burner body, a cap, and a gas conduit. For consistent burner performance, the tolerances and clearance fits for these pieces generally are small, e.g., gaps in the interface between the burner body and the cap, which is placed on top of the burner body, often must be controlled to less than 0.008 inches. These tolerances are difficult to maintain with typical manufacturing processes, such as, e.g., forging and casting.[0003]Additionally, gas burners commonly are exposed to extremely high temperatures, e.g., between 700° F. an...
