[0027] As shown in Figures 5 and 6, the front panel 30 has a support portion 35 disposed between the two elongated holes 33, 34. As shown in Figure 4, the support portion 35 supports an infrared emitting element 51, which will be described later. The support portion 35 has a support hole 35A into which the infrared emitting element 51 is inserted. The support portion 35 has, for example, a clamping portion 35B that clamps the infrared emitting element 51 from above and below, and a locking portion 35C that locks onto the infrared emitting element 51 from behind. The support portion 35 is also configured so that a cover body 60 can be attached to cover the support hole 35A from the front. The support portion 35 has, for example, a locking protrusion 35D that locks onto the cover body 60, and a positioning recess 35E that positions the cover body 60.

[0028] [Infrared transmitter] The gas stove 1 is equipped with an infrared emitting unit 50 that emits an infrared signal to the outside when at least one of the two gas burners (right burner 3, grill burner) is burning. More specifically, the infrared emitting unit 50 emits an infrared signal to the front of the gas stove 1. The infrared signal emitted from the infrared emitting unit 50 is reflected back to a user standing in front of the gas stove 1 and is received by a receiving unit of a ventilation device (not shown) provided above the gas stove 1. When the receiving unit of the ventilation device receives the infrared signal, the ventilation device is activated. The infrared emitting unit 50 includes an infrared emitting element 51 and a cover body 60. When the infrared emitting element 51 is disposed in the support hole 35A, the infrared emitting element 51 is capable of emitting an infrared signal to the front.

[0029] [Infrared emitting element] The infrared emitting element 51 includes a light emitting portion 52, a support 53 connected to the light emitting portion 52, and wiring 54 extending from the support 53. The light emitting portion 52 is the portion that emits an infrared signal. The light emitting portion 52 is clamped in the vertical direction by, for example, the clamping portion 35B. The support 53 is configured to support the infrared emitting element 51 within the support hole 35A. The support 53 includes, for example, an engagement piece 53A.

[0030] The infrared emitting element 51 is inserted into the support hole 35A from the rear. In the process of inserting the infrared emitting element 51, the engaging piece 53A first engages with the locking portion 35C and elastically deforms. Then, the light emitting portion 52 enters the gap of the clamping portion 35B. Thereafter, when the rear portion of the engaging piece 53A enters the inside of the support hole 35A, the engaging piece 53A returns from the elastically deformed state to its natural state, and the locking portion 35C locks onto the engaging piece 53A from the rear. This supports the infrared emitting element 51 inside the support hole 35A.

[0031] [Cover body] As shown in Fig. 7, the cover body 60 includes, for example, a plate-shaped main body 61, a positioning protrusion 62 extending rearward from an upper portion of the main body 61, and a locking arm 63 extending rearward from a lower portion of the main body 61. The locking arm 63 is formed to be elastically deformable. A locking protrusion 63A is provided at the tip of the locking arm 63. As shown in Fig. 4, the main body 61 covers the support hole 35A from the front side. The positioning protrusion 62 is adapted to be housed in the positioning recess 35E.

[0032] The cover body 60 is attached to the support part 35 from the front. First, the positioning protrusion 62 is inserted into the positioning recess 35E. The locking arm 63 engages with the locking protrusion 35D and elastically deforms. When the cover body 60 moves to the correct position relative to the support part 35, the locking arm 63 returns from its elastically deformed state to its natural state, and the locking protrusion 63A locks onto the back surface of the locking protrusion 35D from behind. This completes the attachment of the cover body 60 to the front panel 30.

[0033] [Decorative panel] As shown in Fig. 8, the decorative panel 40 is formed by press-molding a metal plate. The decorative panel 40 is attached to the front panel 30 from the front. The decorative panel 40 includes a front plate portion 41, a first plate portion 42 extending rearward from the upper edge of the front plate portion 41, a second plate portion 43 extending rearward from the lower edge of the front plate portion 41, a third plate portion 44 extending rearward from the right edge of the front plate portion 41, and a fourth plate portion 45 extending rearward from the left edge of the front plate portion 41.

[0034] [Slit hole] The decorative panel 40 has a button hole 41A and a slit hole 41B that penetrate the front plate portion 41 in the front-rear direction. The slit hole 41B is located above the button hole 41A and is elongated in the left-right direction. As shown in FIG. 2, the two ignition buttons 11 and 12 disposed on the front panel 30 are inserted into the button hole 41A. The slit hole 41B is located in front of the two elongated holes 33 and 34 and the support hole 35A. The two operating levers 15A and 15B, which are inserted into the two elongated holes 33 and 34, respectively, are inserted into the slit hole 41B. Furthermore, as shown in FIG. 4, the slit hole 41B exposes a portion of the cover body 60 attached to the front panel 30 to the front.

[0035] The slit 41B is located in front of the cover body 60, which is attached to the front side of the support hole 35A. In this embodiment, the vertical dimension of the cover body 60 is set to be larger than the vertical dimension of the slit 41B. The cover body 60 has a portion that overlaps with the slit 41B in the front-to-rear direction, a portion that is located above the slit 41B, and a portion that is located below the slit 41B. Therefore, the edge of the slit 41B comes into contact with the cover body 60, thereby preventing the cover body 60 from falling off forward.

[0036] [Extending part] Furthermore, in this embodiment, as shown in FIG. 8, the decorative panel 40 includes an extension 41C extending rearward from the edge of the slit 41B. The extension 41C is formed, for example, by burring. By providing the extension 41C, when there is a gap between the front plate 41 and the cover body 60, as shown in FIG. 4, the gap between the decorative panel 40 and the cover body 60 can be reduced. Therefore, when the cover body 60 is displaced forward, the extension 41C comes into contact with the cover body 60, which makes it easier to restrict the forward displacement of the cover body 60. This further prevents the cover body 60 from falling off forward.

[0037] When the decorative panel 40 is attached to the front panel 30, the extension portion 41C may or may not be in contact with the cover body 60. It is preferable that the rear end of the extension portion 41C is disposed close to the front surface of the cover body 60.

[0038] As shown in Fig. 8, a locking member 46 is attached to the first plate portion 42 so as to be slidable in the left-right direction. The locking member 46 is made of, for example, synthetic resin. The locking member 46 has two locking portions 46A that protrude downward from the first plate portion 42. As shown in Fig. 5, a lock receiving portion 36 that can be engaged with the two locking portions 46A is provided at the upper end of the front panel 30. The lock receiving portion 36 has a locking wall portion 36A and two receiving recesses 36B that are provided by cutting out the locking wall portion 36A.

[0039] As shown in Fig. 8, two fixing holes 43A are provided at both left and right ends of the second plate portion 43. As shown in Fig. 5, the front panel 30 has two fixing protrusions 37 arranged at positions corresponding to the two fixing holes 43A.

[0040] When attaching the decorative panel 40 to the front panel 30, first, the fixing protrusions 37 are inserted into the fixing holes 43A, and the locking portions 46A are received into the lock receiving portions 36 via the receiving recesses 36B. Next, by shifting the locking members 46 to the right relative to the first plate portion 42, the locking portions 46A are positioned opposite the locking wall portions 36A in the front-rear direction. This completes the assembly of the decorative panel 40 to the front panel 30.

[0041] [Effects of the embodiment] As described above, the gas stove 1 of the embodiment is a gas stove 1 including a plurality of gas burners, a housing 2 that houses the plurality of gas burners, a front panel 30 attached to the front of the housing 2, a decorative panel 40 attached to the front side of the front panel 30, two ignition buttons 11, 12 for igniting and extinguishing two of the plurality of gas burners (the right burner 3 and the grill burner), two operation levers 15A, 15B for adjusting the flame power of each of the two gas burners, and an infrared transmitter 50 that emits an infrared signal to the outside when at least one of the two gas burners is burning. The two ignition buttons 11, 12 are arranged side by side in the left-right direction on the front panel 30, and the front panel 30 is provided with the two ignition buttons 11, 12. The decorative panel 40 is a press-molded sheet metal product, and has two elongated holes 33, 34 arranged side by side in the left-right direction above the operating levers 15A, 15B, through which the two operating levers 15A, 15B are respectively inserted, and a support hole 35A arranged between the two elongated holes 33, 34. The decorative panel 40 is a press-molded sheet metal product, and has a button hole 41A through which the two ignition buttons 11, 12 are respectively inserted, and a slit hole 41B arranged in front of the two elongated holes 33, 34 and the support hole 35A. The infrared emitting unit 50 comprises an infrared emitting element 51 supported in the support hole 35A so as to be able to emit an infrared signal forward, and a cover body 60 attached to the front panel 30 so as to cover the support hole 35A from the front, and the vertical dimension of the cover body 60 is set larger than the vertical dimension of the slit hole 41B.

[0042] With this configuration, the cover body 60 is attached to the front panel 30 so as to cover the support hole 35A from the front side, and the vertical dimension of the cover body 60 is set to be larger than the vertical dimension of the slit hole 41B. Therefore, the edge of the slit hole 41B comes into contact with the cover body 60, thereby preventing the cover body 60 from falling off forward.

[0043] In this embodiment, the decorative panel 40 includes an extension 41C extending rearward from the edge of the slit 41B.

[0044] With this configuration, the extension portion 41C makes it easier to reduce the gap between the decorative panel 40 and the cover body 60. Therefore, when the cover body 60 is displaced forward, the extension portion 41C makes it easier to restrict the forward displacement of the cover body 60. Therefore, it is possible to further prevent the cover body 60 from falling off forward.

[0045] <Other embodiments> (1) In the above embodiment, the decorative panel 40 includes the extension portion 41C, but the extension portion may be omitted.

[0046] (2) The support portion of the front panel (the configuration around the support hole), the shape of the infrared emitting element, the cover body, the decorative panel, etc. may be modified as appropriate within the scope that allows the object of the present disclosure to be achieved.
