The multiple claws 31 include first claws 31a and second claws 31b. Auxiliary trivet 4 is provided with a first stopper 5 and a second stopper 6. The first restricting member 5 is provided to restrict horizontal movement of the auxiliary trivet 4 relative to the first claw 31a, while allowing vertical movement of the first claw 31a. The second restricting member 6 is provided to restrict horizontal movement of the auxiliary trivet 4 relative to the second claw 31b, while allowing vertical movement of the second claw 31b.

[0012] The gas stove 2 of one embodiment includes a top plate 20, a stove burner 21 provided in a part of the top plate 20, and a trivet set 1 installed on the top plate 20.

[0013] In the trivet set 1 and gas stove 2 of one embodiment having the above configuration, the two regulating portions 5, 6 provided on the auxiliary trivet 4 can regulate horizontal movement of the auxiliary trivet 4 relative to the two claw portions 31a, 31b of the trivet 3. Therefore, in the trivet set 1 and gas stove 2 of one embodiment, horizontal misalignment between the trivet 3 and the auxiliary trivet 4 is easily suppressed. Additionally, in the trivet set 1 and gas stove 2 of one embodiment, the two regulating portions 5, 6 are provided to allow vertical movement of the two claw portions 31a, 31b, so the trivet 3 can be attached or detached while the auxiliary trivet 4 remains installed on the top plate 20. Therefore, in the trivet set 1 and gas stove 2 of one embodiment, the trivet 3 is easy to clean.

[0014] 2.Details Next, the trivet set 1 and gas stove 2 of one embodiment will be described in more detail with reference to the drawings. The gas stove 2 is a built-in type gas stove with a grill that is installed by dropping it into an opening in the countertop of a kitchen cabinet. In this specification, the configurations of the trivet set 1 and the gas stove 2 will be described using the up-down direction, the front-back direction, and the left-right direction shown in FIG. 1. The direction in which a user using the gas stove 2 is positioned is defined as the front, and the opposite direction is defined as the rear, and the left-right direction is defined based on the user's viewpoint when using the gas stove 2.

[0015] The gas stove 2 comprises a top plate 20, a stove burner 21 provided in a part of the top plate 20, and a trivet set 1 installed on the top plate 20.

[0022] The gas stove 2 has three stove burners 21. The three stove burners 21 include a pair of left and right stove burners 21a, 21b that pass through a pair of left and right through-holes 201a, 201b in the top plate 20, and a stove burner 21c that passes through a rear through-hole 201c.

[0023] Each of the stove burners 21a, 21b, and 21c can be turned on and off and the flame power can be adjusted by operating an operating section 221.

[0024] 2-4. Trivet The trivet 3 is installed on the top plate 20 so as to surround the stove burner 21. The trivet 3 has an annular base 30 positioned so as to surround the stove burner 21 in a plan view, and a plurality of claws 31 that protrude outward from the base 30 and can support a cooking vessel. The cooking vessel is a vessel for cooking that is heated by the stove burner 21, such as a frying pan, pot, or kettle.

[0025] In this embodiment, the gas stove 2 includes a pair of trivets 3a and 3b that are installed to surround the pair of left and right stove burners 21a and 21b, as well as a trivet 7 that is installed to surround the single rear stove burner 21c. The pair of left and right trivets 3a and 3b make up the trivet 3 of the trivet set 1.

[0026] The pair of left and right trivets 3a, 3b are the same size and shape. As shown in Figures 3 and 4, the base part 30 is annular in plan view. The base part 30 covers the gap between the top plate 20 and the stove burner 21 from above.

[0027] Six claws 31 protrude radially outward from the outer peripheral surface of the base 30. The six claws 31 are positioned at equal intervals of 60 degrees around the circumference of the base 30 (see FIG. 5). The six claws 31 are the same size and shape.

[0028] The claw portion 31 is a plate-like member having a thickness parallel to a normal line passing through the protruding portion of the claw portion 31 on the outer peripheral surface of the base portion 30. The claw portion 31 is U-shaped and opens toward the center C1 of the base portion 30.

[0029] The claw portion 31 includes a lower piece portion 310 protruding outward (more specifically, in the radially outward direction) from the outer peripheral surface of the base portion 30, a vertical piece portion 311 protruding upward from the outer end of the lower piece portion 310, and an upper piece portion 312 protruding inward (more specifically, in the radially inward direction) from the upper end of the vertical piece portion 311.

[0030] The underside of the lower piece 310 is located lower than the underside of the base 30 and forms the lowest surface of the trivet 3. The upper piece 312 is located higher than the base 30. The tip of the upper piece 312 (more specifically, the radially inner end) is located above the base 30 (see Figure 5). The upper piece 312 forms a support part that supports a cooking vessel such as a pot from below. In this embodiment, the outer surface of the vertical piece 311 is a vertical plane that is parallel to the vertical direction.

[0031] The plurality of claw portions 31 include a first claw portion 31a and a second claw portion 31b. The first claw portion 31a and the second claw portion 31b protrude in opposite directions from the base portion 30. Of the six claw portions 31, any two claw portions 31 located on the same straight line are the first claw portion 31a and the second claw portion 31b. In this embodiment, one claw portion 31 protruding forward from the base portion 30 is the first claw portion 31a, and one claw portion 31 protruding rearward from the base portion 30 is the second claw portion 31b.

[0032] As shown in Figure 1, the rear trivet 7 has a structure common to the pair of left and right trivets 3a and 3b. The trivet 7 has a plurality of claws 71 that are radially shorter than the plurality of claws 31 of the pair of left and right trivets 3a and 3b, and an annular base 70 from which the plurality of claws 71 protrude outward.

[0033] 2-5. Auxiliary trivet The auxiliary trivet 4 is installed on the top plate 20 so as to surround the trivet 3. As shown in Figures 3 and 4, the auxiliary trivet 4 is positioned so as to surround the trivet 3 and has a plurality of auxiliary claws 40 capable of supporting cooking containers, and an auxiliary base 41 connecting the lower parts of the plurality of auxiliary claws 40.

[0034] The auxiliary trivet 4 is provided with a first restricting portion 5 and a second restricting portion 6. The first restricting portion 5 is provided to restrict horizontal movement of the auxiliary trivet 4 relative to the first claw portion 31a and to allow vertical movement of the first claw portion 31a. The second restricting portion 6 is provided to restrict horizontal movement of the auxiliary trivet 4 relative to the second claw portion 31b and to allow vertical movement of the second claw portion 31b.

[0035] In this embodiment, the first restriction portion 5 has two first protruding pieces 50 positioned so as to sandwich the first claw portion 31a in the horizontal direction. A first notch 51 that allows the first claw portion 31a to move up and down is provided between the two first protruding pieces 50. The second restriction portion 6 has two second protruding pieces 60 positioned so as to sandwich the second claw portion 31b in the horizontal direction. A second notch 61 that allows the second claw portion 31b to move up and down is provided between the two second protruding pieces 60.

[0036] The first and second restricting portions 5 and 6 are located at the same position in one horizontal direction (the left-right direction in this embodiment) (see FIG. 5). The first and second restricting portions 5 and 6 each extend horizontally from the auxiliary claw portion 40 of the auxiliary trivet 4 (see FIG. 7).

[0037] 5, the auxiliary trivet 4 includes a first auxiliary trivet 4a and a second auxiliary trivet 4b aligned in one horizontal direction (the left-right direction in this embodiment). Each of the first auxiliary trivet 4a and the second auxiliary trivet 4b has a plurality of auxiliary claws 40 and an auxiliary base 41.

[0038] The auxiliary claws 40 of the first auxiliary trivet 4a include at least one extended claw 40a that extends to overlap the auxiliary base 41 of the second auxiliary trivet 4b in a plan view. As shown in Figures 3 and 4, the at least one extended claw 40a and the auxiliary base 41 of the second auxiliary trivet 4b are provided with a fitting structure that allows them to fit together.

[0039] As shown in Figure 5, the auxiliary claws 40 of the first auxiliary trivet 4a include two extension claws 40a. The auxiliary base 41 of the second auxiliary trivet 4b is provided with a movement restriction part 42 that protrudes upward and is sandwiched between the two extension claws 40a.

[0040] 3 and 4, the auxiliary base 41 is rod-shaped. The auxiliary claws 40 are flat plates with a thickness in the horizontal direction. Anti-slip members 43 are attached to the undersides of the auxiliary claws 40 so as to sandwich the auxiliary claws 40 in the thickness direction and form the bottom surface of the auxiliary trivet 4.

[0041] The first auxiliary trivet 4a forms the left half of the auxiliary trivet 4, and the second auxiliary trivet 4b forms the right half of the auxiliary trivet 4. As shown in Figure 1, the auxiliary trivet 4 completely covers the entire glass top surface of the tabletop 20 except for the portions covered by the three trivets 3a, 3b, and 7, making it a so-called full-surface trivet.

[0042] 3 and 4, the first auxiliary trivet 4a and the second auxiliary trivet 4b have the same structure except for the extension claw portion 40a and the movement restricting portion 42. Below, we will explain the basic structure that the first auxiliary trivet 4a and the second auxiliary trivet 4b have in common.

[0043] The first auxiliary trivet 4a and the second auxiliary trivet 4b each have multiple auxiliary claws 40 and an auxiliary base 41. Each of the multiple auxiliary claws 40 has a vertical piece 400 that rises from the auxiliary base 41 and a horizontal piece 401 that extends horizontally from the upper end of the vertical piece 400. The height of the upper surfaces of the multiple auxiliary claws 40, i.e., the upper surfaces of the horizontal pieces 401, are the same or nearly the same as each other, and are the same or nearly the same as the height of the upper surfaces of the multiple claws 31 and 71 of the trivets 3a, 3b, and 7 (see FIG. 7). The height of the multiple auxiliary claws 40 of the first auxiliary trivet 4a and the height of the multiple auxiliary claws 40 of the second auxiliary trivet 4b are also the same as each other (see FIG. 6).

[0044] 3 and 4, the auxiliary base 41 has a first base 41a that extends linearly in the front-to-rear direction and a second base 41b that is curved in a crank shape in a plan view. The second base 41b is located closer to the center in the left-to-right direction than the first base 41a. The second base 41b is curved so as to avoid the trivet 7 on the rear side.

[0045] The second base portion 41b includes a front portion 410 extending linearly in the front-rear direction, an intermediate portion 411 extending linearly outward in the left-right direction from the rear end of the front portion 410, and a rear portion 412 extending linearly rearward from the outer end of the intermediate portion 411 in the left-right direction. Each of the first base portion 41a and the second base portion 41b is formed from a metal rod-shaped member having a circular cross section. The second base portion 41b is formed by bending the rod-shaped member.

[0046] The auxiliary claws 40 include a plurality of long claws 40b extending from the first base 41a to the second base 41b, and a plurality of short claws 40c provided on the first base 41a. The auxiliary claws 40 of the first auxiliary trivet 4a further include at least one extended claw 40a provided on the second base 41b.

[0047] The multiple long claws 40b are made up of four long claws 40b. The four long claws 40b are positioned at intervals in the front-to-rear direction. The first and second long claws 40b from the front are positioned a distance apart in the front-to-rear direction that allows the placement of the trivets 3a and 3b.

[0048] The first long claw 40b from the front is provided so as to span between the front end of the first base portion 41a and the front end of the front part 410 of the second base portion 41b. The remaining three long claws 40b are provided so as to span between the rear part of the first base portion 41a and the rear part 412 of the second base portion 41b.

[0049] Each of the four long claws 40b has a vertical piece 400a extending from the first base 41a, a vertical piece 400b extending from the second base 41b, and a horizontal piece 401a connecting the upper ends of the two vertical pieces 400a and 400b. The vertical piece 400a protrudes diagonally upward and inward from the first base 41a. The vertical piece 400b protrudes diagonally upward and outward from the second base 41b. That is, in the first auxiliary trivet 4a on the left side, the vertical piece 400a protrudes diagonally upward and to the right from the first base 41a, and the vertical piece 400b protrudes diagonally upward and to the left from the second base 41b. In the second auxiliary trivet 4b on the right side, the vertical piece 400a protrudes diagonally upward and to the left from the first base 41a, and the vertical piece 400b protrudes diagonally upward and to the right from the second base 41b.

[0050] The vertical piece 400a is longer in the left-right direction than the first base piece 41a and has an inner portion 402 located more inward than the first base piece 41a (more specifically, toward the center in the left-right direction). The vertical piece 400b is longer in the left-right direction than the second base piece 41b and has an inner portion 402 located more inward than the second base piece 41b (more specifically, toward the outer side in the left-right direction). Anti-slip members 43 are attached to the undersides of the inner portions 402 of the vertical pieces 400a, 400b so as to sandwich the vertical pieces 400a, 400b in the thickness direction (i.e., the front-to-back direction) and form the bottom surface of the auxiliary trivet 4. In this embodiment, an anti-slip member 43 is attached to each of the inner portions 402 of the two vertical pieces 400a, 400b of the first, second, and fourth long claw portions 40b from the front.

[0051] The anti-slip member 43 is made of a non-slip material such as rubber, and is U-shaped with an opening at the top when viewed in the left-right direction.

[0052] The plurality of short claws 40c are made up of three short claws 40c. Each of the three short claws 40c has a vertical piece 400c standing upright from the first base portion 41a and a horizontal piece 401b extending inward (toward the center) in the left-right direction from the upper end of the vertical piece 400c.

[0053] The three short claws 40c are arranged between the first and second long claws 40b from the front. The three short claws 40c are positioned at intervals in the front-to-rear direction. The first long claw 40b from the front, the three short claws 40c, and the second to fourth long claws 40b from the front are positioned in this order at equal intervals in the front-to-rear direction.

[0054] As shown in Figure 3, at least one extension claw 40a is composed of three extension claws 40a. The three extension claws 40a are positioned in the same front-to-back direction as the three short claws 40c. Each of the three extension claws 40a has a vertical piece 400d that rises from the front portion 410 of the second base portion 41b and a horizontal piece 401c that extends to both the left and right sides from the upper end of the vertical piece 400d. The right halves of the vertical piece 400d and the horizontal piece 401c are positioned so as to overlap the second auxiliary trivet 4b on the right side when viewed from above (see Figure 2).

[0055] As shown in Figure 3, the underside of the right half of the vertical piece 400d has a semi-elliptical notch 403 that is cut upward and opens downward and in the front-to-rear direction. The notch 403 is shaped to fit the front portion 410 of the second base 41b of the second auxiliary trivet 4b on the right side. The notch 403 forms a fitting structure with the second base 41b of the second auxiliary trivet 4b.

[0056] Anti-slip members 43 are attached to the underside of the left and right ends of the vertical piece 400d of the third extension claw portion 40a from the front so as to sandwich the vertical piece 400d in the thickness direction (i.e., the front-to-back direction), forming the bottom surface of the first auxiliary trivet 4a.

[0057] As shown in Figure 4, the front portion 410 of the second base portion 41b of the second auxiliary trivet 4b on the right side is provided with a movement restriction portion 42 that is clamped between the second and third extension claw portions 40a from the front of the first auxiliary trivet 4a on the left side.

[0058] The movement restricting portion 42 is formed by bending a metal rod-shaped member. The movement restricting portion 42 is provided in a U-shape that opens downward. The movement restricting portion 42 has a pair of front and rear vertical rod portions 420 that extend vertically, a pair of front and rear curved rod portions 421 that are curved in an arc, and a horizontal rod portion 422 that extends linearly in the front and rear direction. The lower portions of the pair of front and rear vertical rod portions 420 are fixed to the left surface of the front portion 410 of the second base portion 41b by welding or the like.

[0059] 3 and 4, a first restricting portion 5 protrudes rearward from the horizontal piece 401a of the first long claw 40b from the front. A second restricting portion 6 protrudes forward from the horizontal piece 401a of the second long claw 40b from the front.

[0060] Each of the two first protruding pieces 50 of the first restricting portion 5 protrudes rearward from the horizontal piece 401a of the first long claw 40b from the front. A first notch 51 that is open in the vertical and rear directions is provided between the two first protruding pieces 50. The left-to-right length of the first notch 51 is slightly longer than the left-to-right length of the first claw 31a. The front-to-rear length of the first notch 51 is set to a length that allows the first claw 31a to move in the vertical direction.

[0061] Each of the two second protruding pieces 60 of the second restricting portion 6 protrudes forward from the horizontal piece 401a of the second long claw 40b from the front. A second notch 61 that opens in the up-down direction and forward is provided between the two second protruding pieces 60. The left-right length of the second notch 61 is slightly longer than the left-right length of the second claw 31b. The front-rear length of the second notch 61 is set to a length that allows up-down movement of the second claw 31b.

[0062] The first restricting portion 5 and the second restricting portion 6 are located at the same position in the up-down direction. As shown in Fig. 7, the first restricting portion 5 is provided at a vertical position sandwiching the upper end portion of the vertical piece portion 311 of the first claw portion 31a (more specifically, a portion at approximately the same height as the lower surface of the upper piece portion 312). Similarly, the second restricting portion 6 is provided at a vertical position sandwiching the upper end portion of the vertical piece portion 311 of the second claw portion 31b.

[0063] 5, the first notch 51 and the second notch 61 are located at the same position in the left-right direction. The distance from the rear surface of the first notch 51 to the rear surface of the second notch 61 is slightly longer than the distance from the outer surface of the first claw 31a to the outer surface of the second claw 31b. This allows the restricting portions 5 and 6 to restrict left-right movement of the trivet 3 while allowing up-down movement.

[0064] As shown in Figure 2, the left-right movement of the first auxiliary trivet 4a and the second auxiliary trivet 4b is restricted by fitting the front portion 410 of the second base portion 41b of the second auxiliary trivet 4b into each of the notches 403 of the three extended claws 40a of the first auxiliary trivet 4a. The front-to-rear movement of the first auxiliary trivet 4a and the second auxiliary trivet 4b is restricted by fitting the movement restricting portion 42 of the second auxiliary trivet 4b between the second and third extended claws 40a from the front of the first auxiliary trivet 4a. As a result, the first auxiliary trivet 4a and the second auxiliary trivet 4b are combined in a state where movement in the front-to-rear and left-to-right directions is restricted.

[0065] As shown in Figure 3, the trivet 3a is restricted from moving in the forward / backward, left / right directions, and rotational directions (more specifically, rotational directions around the center C1) by inserting the claws 31a, 31b of the trivet 3a into the notches 51, 61 of the regulating portions 5, 6 of the first auxiliary trivet 4a.

[0066] As shown in Figure 4, the trivet 3b is restricted from moving in the forward / backward, left / right, and rotational directions by inserting the claws 31a, 31b of the trivet 3b into the notches 51, 61 of the restricting portions 5, 6 of the second auxiliary trivet 4b.

[0067] Furthermore, as shown in Figure 2, the first auxiliary trivet 4a and the second auxiliary trivet 4b are combined in a state in which movement in the front-to-back and left-to-right directions is restricted, so that movement of the trivets 3a and 3b in each direction is restricted by both the first auxiliary trivet 4a and the second auxiliary trivet 4b.

[0068] 3. Effects In the trivet set 1 of this embodiment described above, the regulating portions 5, 6 of the auxiliary trivets 4a, 4b can regulate the movement of the auxiliary trivets 4a, 4b in the forward / backward, left / right directions, and rotational directions (i.e., horizontal directions) relative to the trivets 3a, 3b.

[0069] In the trivet set 1 of this embodiment, the claws 31a, 31b of the trivets 3a, 3b are allowed to move up and down, and the claws 31a, 31b are passed through the notches 51, 61 of the restricting portions 5, 6. Therefore, in the trivet set 1 of this embodiment, by lifting the trivets 3a, 3b upward, the claws 31a, 31b can be removed from the restricting portions 5, 6, and the trivet set 1 can be removed from above the top plate 20.

[0070] Furthermore, in the trivet set 1 of this embodiment, the trivets 3a and 3b can be placed on the top plate 20 by passing the claw portions 31a and 31b through the notches 51 and 61 of the regulating portions 5 and 6 from above the auxiliary trivets 4a and 4b.

[0071] In this way, in the trivet set 1 of this embodiment, the trivets 3a and 3b can be attached and detached while the auxiliary trivets 4a and 4b remain installed on the top plate 20, making it easy to clean the trivets 3a and 3b, which are easily soiled by spills from cooking containers, etc.

[0072] Furthermore, in the trivet set 1 of this embodiment, the auxiliary trivet 4 can be separated into a first auxiliary trivet 4a and a second auxiliary trivet 4b, so the auxiliary trivets 4a and 4b can be carried separately, making it easy to attach and detach the auxiliary trivets 4a and 4b, and also easy to clean the auxiliary trivet 4.

[0073] In addition, in the trivet set 1 of this embodiment, the first auxiliary trivet 4a can be attached to or detached from the second auxiliary trivet 4b simply by moving the first auxiliary trivet 4a up or down, making it easy to assemble and disassemble the auxiliary trivets 4a and 4b.

[0074] In addition, in the trivet set 1 of this embodiment, the positions of the regulating portions 5 and 6 in one horizontal direction (left and right in this embodiment) are the same, so that the claw portions 31a and 31b of the trivet 3 can be easily inserted into the notches 51 and 61 of the regulating portions 5 and 6.

[0075] In addition, in the trivet set 1 of this embodiment, only two of the six claws 31 of the trivet 3, 31a and 31b, need to be passed through the notches 51 and 61 of the regulating sections 5 and 6, making it easy to assemble the auxiliary trivets 4a and 4b and the trivets 3a and 3b.

[0076] In addition, in the trivet set 1 of this embodiment, the first auxiliary trivet 4a has an extended claw portion 40a that is arranged to overlap the second base portion 41b of the second auxiliary trivet 4b in a planar view, making it easy to place cooking containers at the boundary between the first auxiliary trivet 4a and the second auxiliary trivet 4b.

[0077] In addition, in the trivet set 1 of this embodiment, the regulating portions 5, 6 protrude horizontally from the lateral piece portion 401 of the auxiliary claw portion 40 and are positioned above and away from the top plate 20, so the regulating portions 5, 6 are less likely to become dirty due to overflow from the cooking container.

[0078] Furthermore, in the trivet set 1 of this embodiment, the movement restricting portion 42 has a pair of front and rear curved rod portions 421, so that the movement restricting portion 42 can be easily inserted between the two extension claw portions 40a.
