Description

  • The present invention relates to a cooking hob comprising a heat shield, and to a method for fixing a knob heat shield to a cooking hob.
  • US5357943 discloses a transparent shield assembly for a stove, which can be magnetically coupled to a ferromagnetic work surface thereof and serves to prevent control knobs from spills and debris.
  • Cooking hobs formed of glass, ceramic or glass-ceramic are available commercially.
  • These cooking hobs have a perfectly smooth surface which facilitates cleaning to a maximum extent.
  • Those hobs, which have their knobs at the front, i.e. positioned directly on the hob, are also aesthetically more attractive.
  • However, when the burners are all in operation with pans present on the grids, the burner flame tends to widen and to partly approach the knobs. With time, these latter heat up, with annoyance to the user operating the knobs, who can also suffer burns.
  • An object of the present invention is to provide a cooking hob comprising a heat shield which is of simple construction and easy to remove.
  • This and other objects are attained according to the invention by a cooking hob comprising at least one burner positioned on said hob and at least one knob positioned on said hob, further comprising a structural element positioned on said hob, said structural element being a heat shield for said at least one knob and said heat shield being coupled to said hob by a magnetic coupling. The heat shield comprises at least one first magnet and the cooking hob, which is constructed of glass, or ceramic, or glass-ceramic, comprises at least one second magnet positioned below said cooking hob to form a magnetic connection with said first magnet.
  • Further characteristics of the invention are described in the dependent claims.
  • By fixing a normal heat shield to a cooking hob, in particular to a glass hob, even if removable, the presence of holes, pins or other means for its connection frustrates the characteristic principle of glass hobs, i.e. their ease of cleaning.
  • According to the present invention, the facility for fixing the heat shield by magnets enables it to be removed, to leave a perfectly smooth surface.
  • Moreover, its positioning is facilitated by the magnetic force, which seeks to always achieve maximum force, this occurring when the magnets are perfectly aligned. In other words, the heat shield is self-centering. If not positioned in its ideal position, it automatically positions itself in the predefined position, either automatically or with the aid of a small manual thrust.
  • The characteristics and advantages of the present invention will be apparent from the ensuing detailed description of one embodiment thereof, illustrated by way of non-limiting example in the accompanying drawings, in which:
    • Figure 1 shows a cooking hob of the present invention, seen from above;
    • Figure 2 is a perspective view of a heat shield according to the present invention;
    • Figure 3 is a view of a heat shield of the present invention, seen from below;
    • Figure 4 is a section through a cooking hob of the present invention.
  • With reference to the accompanying figures, a cooking hob 10 of the present invention comprises a plurality of burners 11, five being shown in the figure, inclusive of their respective support grids 12. It also comprises a plurality of frontal knobs 13, i.e. positioned on the cooking hob 10, for controlling the burners 11.
  • The cooking hob 10 comprises a heat shield 15 positioned to separate the burners 11 from the knobs 13.
  • The heat shield 15 is provided to shield the heat transmitted towards the knobs 13 by the burners 11 during their operation.
  • The cooking hob 10 is constructed of glass or ceramic or glass-ceramic.
  • The heat shield 15, of preferably slightly arched shape, has a length of about 35 cm, a height of about 4 cm, and a thickness of about 0.5 cm.
  • It comprises four magnets 16, positioned within the base of the heat shield 15, preferably equidistant from each other. In the base of the heat shield 15, holes are provided into which the magnets 16, of cylindrical shape, of diameter about 0.3 cm and height about 0.8 cm, are inserted and maintained therein by a silicone cement.
  • A further four magnets 18 are provided below the cooking hob 10 in suitable positions close to the knobs to cooperate with the magnets 16, and are fixed preferably by silicone cement.
  • The magnets 18 have a diameter of about 1 cm and a height of about 0.5 cm.
  • The use of magnets 16, 18 both in the heat shield 15 and below the cooking hob 10 is preferable, in order to achieve good magnetic coupling.
