Abstract

This application is an invention relating to an improvement in a gas burner for a stove for leading a mixed gas to flame holes, and burning the gas therein, through a gas passage (18) from a mixing tube (5) which produces the mixed gas by mixing a gas introduced in a jet from a nozzle and primary air drawn in with introduction of the gas. A sub-chamber (Ca) is provided separately from the gas passage for storing the mixed gas in a state of flux. The sub-chamber (Ca) communicates with the gas passage (18) through an inlet (3), and discharges the mixed gas stored therein through outlets (2) disposed adjacent the flame holes. With this construction, even when a continued combustion in the flame holes becomes difficult due to air-rich air resulting from an operation of an adjusting lever of the gas burner for a stove to adjusts the quantity of gas rapidly from large to small, the mixed gas stored in the sub-chamber (Ca) is discharged from the outlets (2) to continue the combustion.

Claims

1. A gas burner for a stove comprising a nozzle, a mixing tube for producing a mixed gas by mixing a gas introduced in a jet from said nozzle and primary air drawn in with the introduction of the gas, flame holes formed between a main burner body communicating with said mixing tube and a burner cap disposed on said main burner body, and a gas passage communicating said mixing tube to said flame holes,

said gas burner for a stove having a sub-chamber formed in said main burner body, having an inlet for introducing said mixed gas from at least one of said mixing tube and said gas passage, and an outlet formed in a surface of said main burner body opposed to said burner cap, and storing said mixed gas in a state of flux.

2. A gas burner for a stove as defined in claim 1, wherein said inlet and said outlet are arranged such that a direction of introduction of said mixed gas introduced from said inlet into said sub-chamber is different from a direction extending from said inlet to said outlet.

3. A gas burner for a stove as defined in claim 1, wherein a cross-sectional area of the inlet is larger than a cross-sectional area of the outlet.

4. A gas burner for a stove as defined in claim 1, wherein said gas burner is approximately circular, said sub-chamber being disposed outwardly of said gas passage with respect to the center of said circle.

5. A gas burner for a stove as defined in claim 1, wherein said inlet communicates with said gas passage, said sub-chamber communicating with said gas passage only through said inlet.

6. A gas burner for a stove as defined in claim 1, wherein said main burner body is formed by aluminum-pressure die-casting.
