[0002] TECHNICAL FIELD

[0003] The invention relates to a gas hob comprising pan support posts that provide stable support for a pan support frame by adhering to a glass panel.

[0004] PRIOR ART

[0005] In the literature, securing pan support frames in gas glass hobs is of great importance for safety reasons. Posts are adhered to the glass surface to hold the pan support frame in situ on the glass surface. Poor curing in the adhesion process on the glass surface causes the posts to become unstable, resulting in weak adhesion and difficulty in holding the pan support frames in place. There is a need for a solution where pan support posts are quickly cured and adhered to, thanks to the void structures created in the bonding area applied under the posts adhered to the glass, for example, in the silicone bonding area.

[0006] EP3249305 discloses that a gas hob includes a panel, a pan support, a decoration strip and a connecting piece. The pot support is arranged on the upper side of the panel, and a lower part of the pot support defines an alignment recess; the decoration strip is arranged between the panel and the pot support, and the decoration strip is connected to the panel; one end of the connecting piece is connected to the decoration strip, and the other end of the connecting piece is detachably embedded in the alignment recess.

[0007] BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0008] The object of the invention is to develop a gas hob that ensures rapid curing of the bonding area and strong adhesion to the glass surface, achieved by facilitating air entry from below through the air gaps between the legs located beneath the post.

The gas hob further comprises two or more notches having an bonding area which is fixed by adhering to the panel and provides an air gap allow air inlet to a cavity zone on a bottom wall of the post. As a result, a gas hob is obtained in which the posts are adhered quickly and firmly to the panel thanks to the recesses in the posts adhered to the panel and the hole structures provided by the adjustment recess in the support grid. Here, the post adheres to the panel due to the adhesive applied in the bonding area underneath its notches. Adhesion to the panel is achieved by ensuring the distribution on the bottom surface of the post cures as early as possible. This curing in the bonding area is provided by the moisture in the air that reaches it.

[0010] In a preferred embodiment of the invention, the panel is made of a single piece and a glass material. As a result, a gas hob is obtained in which the rapid curing of the post on a glass panel is ensured. The curing effect of the developed post is aimed at increasing the curing effect in the adhesion processes on the glass surface.

[0011] In a preferred embodiment of the invention one or more support arms on the post are inserted into the alignment recess in a secure manner. In this way, the support frame can be fixed by placing the alignment recess on the corresponding support arm.

[0012] In a preferred embodiment of the invention, a post housing is provided so as to cover the notches of the post. In this way, the post notches are not visible from the outside as the post is positioned inside at a certain distance on the inside of the housing.

[0013] In a preferred embodiment of the invention, the bonding area is formed from a silicone adhesive material. As a result, by providing the curing effect of the silicone adhesive material in the bonding area with air humidity, the support post can adhere quickly, and the support grid can be held securely in place.

[0014] In a preferred embodiment of the invention, the post is made of a plastic material. As a result, the support post provides a strength advantage by ensuring that its heat conductivity values do not change over time.

[0015] A preferred embodiment of the invention the cavity zone is adjusted to provide a curing effect to the bonding area by the air flow. In this way, it is ensured that the silicone adhesive in the bonding area is cured quickly by contacting with the air humidity.

[0020] DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0021] In this detailed explanation, the invention is explained without any limitation and only with reference to examples to better explain the subject matter.

[0022] In Figure 1 and Figure 2, a gas hob comprising posts according to the invention is shown in a top perspective view. In Figure 3, a gas hob comprising posts according to the invention is shown in a side perspective view. In Figure 4, a post for a gas hob according to the invention is shown in a top perspective view. In Figure 5, a post for a gas hob according to the invention is shown in a bottom perspective view. A casing (12) surrounds and protects the gas hob (10). The upper wall of the casing (12), on which the cooking takes place, is made of a single-piece glass panel (16). In the gas hob (10), there are four burner openings (14) on the glass panel (16) that enable cooking with gas. The cooking process in the gas hob (10) is carried out by heating through the burner openings (14). To facilitate the cooking process on the panel (16), there are two support frames (20) that provide a cooking opening in the burner openings (14). The support frame (20) serves as a support for a cooking vessel (pot or pan) disposed over the burner opening (14). To ensure proper support, the support frame (20) must be securely placed on the glass panel (16). Alignment recesses (18) are formed in the lower part of the support frame (20) to allow the frame to rest on the panel. These alignment recesses (18) correspond to the gaps provided underneath the support frames (20). These gaps also feature a curved structure that opens into each frame (20) to facilitate air circulation. With the provided alignment recess (18), the invention also allows for a fast and secure attachment of the posts (22) in the gas hob with the glass surface panel (16) by creating an air gap. However, this air gap helps the pins (22) adhere to the panel (16) quickly and securely, as the air volume effect provided by the air gap is dependent on the moisture effect in the air volume provided by the posts (22). In other words, this benefits the curing speed of the adhesive for the posts (22). On the glass panel (16), there are posts (22) that are adhered from a free edge and secured. Here, there are two posts (22) on the gas hob (10). Posts (22) are used to secure the support frames (20). There are two support arms (26) on the posts (22). The support frames (20) are positioned and secured by aligning the alignment recesses (18) on the support arms (26). Additionally, the posts (22) are made of a heat-resistant plastic material. This ensures that each post (22) is resistant to heat and heat conductivity. A cavity area (28) is also present on the bottom wall of the post (22). The cavity area (28) is a gap structure that provides volume for air. There are notches (30) containing air openings (32), having a predetermined number, for example, more than two, where air enters the cavity area (28). To secure the notches (30) to the glass panel (16) by adhering, a bonding area (34) is located on the lower surface of each notch (30). Here, the adhesive process in the adhesive area (34) is provided by a silicone adhesive. In the gas hob (10), air entry into the cavity area (28) creates an air volume, accelerating the curing effect of the silicone in the adhesive area (34). The curing effect of the silicone adhesive in the adhesive area (34) is provided by the air humidity in the cavity area (28), causing a change in its chemical structure and adhering to the glass panel (16). This enables the post (22) to adhere quickly and hold the support frame securely. Additionally, there is a pin housing (24) that surrounds and covers the front side of the notches (30) of the post (22). This ensures that the notches (30) under each post (22) are not visible from the outside, thanks to the alignment of the pin housing (24) at a certain distance on the inner side. In the gas hob featuring posts (22), according to the invention, air openings (32) are provided between the notches (30) to allow air entry into the cavity area (28) and promote early curing of the silicone adhesives. The cavity area's (28) gap structure containing air volume, combined with the humidity, enables early curing of the silicone adhesives and ensures a strong adhesion of the posts (22) to the glass panel (16).
