Gas stove top burner assembly
First Claim
1. A gas burner assembly for a gas stove comprising:
- a burner base;
a burner cap mounted by said burner base and defining a plurality of gas burner ports;
said burner base and said burner cap having cooperating means defining a gas stabilization port;
said burner cap and said burner base being connected to electrical ground potential;
an electrode assembly for manual spark ignition of said gas burner assembly including;
an electrically conductive electrode;
an electrically insulative support member mounted by said burner base enclosing and positioning said electrically conductive electrode proximate to the burner cap;
said electrically insulative support member having a predetermined wall thickness between said electrically conductive electrode and said burner cap to allow a high voltage discharge through said wall thickness; and
means responsive to a user'"'"'s manual operation for applying a high voltage potential to said electrically conductive electrode.

Abstract
A gas burner assembly is provided for a gas stove. The gas burner assembly includes a burner base and a burner cap mounted by the burner base and defines a plurality of gas burner ports. The burner base and burner cap have cooperating members defining a gas stabilization port. The burner cap and the burner base are connected to electrical ground potential. An electrode assembly for manual spark ignition of the gas burner includes an electrically conductive electrode. An electrically insulative support member mounted by the burner base encloses and positions the electrically conductive electrode proximate to the gas burner. Responsive to a user'"'"'s manual operation, a high voltage potential is applied to the electrically conductive electrode for spark ignition.
