Abstract

The present invention relates to a gas burner assembly (10), in particular for a gas cooking hob, comprising a burner cap (12), a burner crown (14) and a burner body (16). The burner cap (12) is arranged or arrangeable upon the burner crown (14). The burner crown (14) is arranged or arrangeable upon the burner body (16). The gas burner assembly (10) comprises at least one elongated horizontal Venturi pipe (32, 34). An upper part (32) of the Venturi pipe is formed in a lower portion of the burner crown (14). A lower part (34) of the Venturi pipe (32) is formed in the burner body (16). At least one chamber (46, 52) is formed in an upper portion of the burner crown (14). The burner crown (14) includes at least one circumferential wall (22, 24) enclosing the at least one chamber (46, 52) and including a plurality of flame ports (26, 28). The burner crown (14) includes at least one passage opening (38) connecting an outlet of the Venturi pipe (32, 34) to the at least one chamber (46, 52). The Venturi pipe is formed by its upper part (32), its lower part (34) and the passage opening (38). A horizontal gap (60) is formed between the burner crown (14) and the burner body (16), wherein the horizontal gap (60) is provided as an inlet for primary air (56) and secondary air (58).
