GAS BURNER ASSEMBLY
First Claim
Patent Images
1. A gas burner assembly defining a vertical direction, the gas burner assembly comprising:
- a burner body defining a plurality of flame ports;
a temperature probe extending through the burner body such that a distal end of the temperature probe is positioned above the burner body along the vertical direction, the distal end of the temperature probe movable along the vertical direction between an extended position and a retracted position;
a biasing mechanism coupled to the temperature probe, the biasing mechanism urging the distal end of the temperature probe towards the extended position; and
a jacket positioned over the distal end of the temperature probe, a bottom flange of the jacket positioned below a bottom surface of the burner body along the vertical direction.

11. A cooktop appliance defining a vertical direction, the cooktop appliance comprising:
-
a panel defining an opening; a grate positioned over the opening of the panel; and a gas burner positioned beneath the grate, the gas burner comprising a burner body positioned at a top surface of the top panel, the burner body defining a plurality of flame ports; a temperature probe extending from the burner body, the temperature probe movable along the vertical direction such a distal end of the temperature probe is positioned above the grate along the vertical direction in an extended configuration; a biasing mechanism coupled to the temperature probe such that the biasing mechanism urges the temperature probe towards the extended configuration; and a jacket positioned over the distal end of the temperature probe, a bottom flange of the jacket positioned adjacent a bottom portion of the burner body. - View Dependent Claims (12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20)
