Abstract

Gas burner, in particular for domestic cooking appliances, comprising a bowl-shaped body (10) associated with a gas injector, a toothed crown (12) with a plurality of first flame ports (13) circumferentially arranged along the periphery of the crown (12) and an upper cap (14) to close the burner top. A peripheral step (15) is formed on at least a part of the external surface of the toothed crown (12) and second flame ports (17) of reduced area are circumferentially provided along the periphery of the crown (12) in such a way that adjacent first flame ports (13) are spaced apart from each other by means of a single second flame port (17) disposed therebetween.

Claims

1. Gas burner, in particular for domestic cooking appliances, comprising a bowl-shaped body associated with a gas injector, a single toothed crown with a plurality of first flame ports circumferentially arranged over substantially the whole of a periphery of the crown and an upper cap to close the burner top, a peripheral step is formed on at least a part of the external surface of the toothed crown and second flame ports of reduced area are circumferentially provided along the periphery of the crown, wherein said adjacent first flame ports are spaced apart from each other by means of a single second flame port disposed therebetween so that said second flame ports are positioned equidistantly between two adjacent first flame ports over substantially the whole of the periphery of the crown.

2. Gas burner according to claim 1, wherein said peripheral step is formed at a level lower than that of the first flame ports.

3. Gas burner according to claim 1, wherein said peripheral step has a smooth surface.

4. Gas burner according to claim 1 wherein said peripheral step is at least partially crossed by radial grooves connected with corresponding first flame ports of the toothed crown.

5. Gas burner according to claim 1, wherein the upper cap has substantially the same diameter of the toothed crown.

6. Gas burner according to claim 1, further comprising a mini vertical Venturi tube for occurring primary aeration over the appliance work plate.
