Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a cooking hob according to the preamble of claim 1.
  • the present invention typically applies to household cooking hobs, of the type comprising a plurality of gas burners for cooking foods placed in suitable containers.
  • the present invention is not strictly limited to gas cooking hobs, though this application will be hereafter often referred to.
  • Cooking hobs of the aforementioned type are known and widespread, in different versions, in every household kitchen.
  • said cooking hobs are separate units, i.e. simple cookers; in other cases, said cooking hobs are add-on components adapted to be as a built-in assembly mounted in standard-size apertures obtained on the top of a sectional kitchen; or, in other cases, said cooking hobs are the upper portion of a household appliance comprising an oven for cooking food.
  • Household cooking stoves are generally fitted with a hob housing a plurality of cooking points.
  • Each cooking point has at least one heating element, in particular a gas burner, and at least one corresponding support element allowing to lay a cooking container over the burner; sometimes several support elements of different cooking points are joined together, thus forming, for example, a gridiron.
  • each cooking point is associated with one knob, adapted to be operated by a user both for turning on and/or off the burner and for adjusting the heat generated by the cooking point (for a gas burner, the knob allows to adjust the gas flow, and therefore the heat generated by combustion).
  • the cooking points known in the art have a quadrilateral shape and are so conceived that the burners are laid according to a standard layout, hi four-burner cooking hobs, the burners are arranged at the four corners of the quadrilateral delimiting the cooking hob, whereas in five-burner cooking hobs, the fifth burner is arranged centrally relative to the other four burners.
  • Cooking hobs are also known in the art which comprise at least one burner being adjacent to one side of the cooking hob, in the middle thereof.
  • each burner is adjacent to the corresponding side of the cooking hobs, substantially in the middle thereof.
  • Cooking hobs known in the art suffer from the drawback that the rear burners are difficult to reach, in particular when containers for cooking food have already been laid over the front burners. A user trying to reach the rear burners might therefore knock over a container laid over the front burners, thus risking possible burns or scalds.
  • the general object of the present invention is to improve the cooking hobs known in the art and, in particular, to solve the aforementioned problems.
  • Fig. 1 is a first schematic top view of a cooking hob according to the present invention
  • Fig. 2 is a second top view of the cooking hob according to the present invention.
  • reference number 10 designates as a whole a household cooking hob of the type comprising:
  • Fig. 1 which represents a first schematic top view of the cooking hob 10 according to the present invention, clearly shows that each burner 20 of said plurality of burners 20 is aligned with:
  • first axis X and the second axis Y are both indicated with a dashed line; as shown, said second axis Y is substantially orthogonal to said first axis X.
  • the angle between the first axis X and the second axis Y may however be slightly wider or narrower than 90°.
  • said first axis X is substantially parallel to said side 11 of said cooking hob 10; however, it is also conceivable to arrange said first axis X in a different way, in particular so that said first axis X is slightly inclined relative to the side 11 of the cooking hob 10.
  • the number of said second axes Y matches the number of burners 20 and, consequently, the number of said knobs 30.
  • said plurality of burners 20 comprises four burners 20, in particular having different sizes and calorific value, which can be used as necessary with containers
  • a cooking hob 10 comprising four burners 20 is provided with four second axes Y and, preferably, two first axes X.
  • each burner 20 may be without distinction of the type taking primary air above or below the cooking hob 10 whereon they are mounted. It is also clear that each burner 20 may be fitted with an ignition spark plug and/or a thermocouple for checking if the burner 20 is on; neither said ignition spark plug nor said thermocouple are shown in the drawings.
  • the particular layout of the cooking hob 10 according to the present invention therefore allows to provide a cooking hob 10 which makes access easier to all of the burners 20 included in the cooking hob 10.
  • each knob 30 is aligned with just one burner 20 allows a user to associate each knob 30 with the corresponding burner 20 in a simple and intuitive way, in particular without the need of graphic representations, which are typically placed very close to said knob 30, in order to obtain said association.
  • the cooking hob 10 comprises at least one support element or gridiron 40 used for laying cooking containers over said burners 20.
  • said gridiron 40 takes up the whole surface of the cooking hob 10; it comprises a plurality of support elements, in particular first support elements 41 lying in a direction being substantially parallel to said side 11 of the cooking hob 10, and second support elements 42 lying in a direction being substantially orthogonal to said side 11.
  • said second support elements 42 lie in the direction connecting each knob 30 to the corresponding burner 20, i.e. they lie in said second axis Y.
  • Said second support elements 42 are as many as said second axes Y and preferably pass through the center of each burner 20.
  • said first support elements 41 also pass through the center of said burner 20 and each lie in a first axis X.
  • a household cooking hob of the type comprising at least one first heating element, one second heating element, one first control for controlling the first heating element, one second control for controlling the second heating element, wherein the first heating element and the first control are aligned in a first direction, the second heating element and the second control are aligned in a second direction, and wherein said first direction and said second direction are substantially parallel to each other.
  • heating elements and controls may then be added to the cooking hob according to the above general form, in particular one third heating element and a corresponding third control, and possibly one fourth heating element and a corresponding fourth control.
  • the corresponding directions of the third heating element and third control, and possibly of the fourth heating element and fourth control, are preferably substantially parallel to the aforementioned first and second directions.
  • gas burners may be replaced with other types of heating elements adapted to cook food, e.g. electric burners,
  • knobs may be replaced with other types of controls for heating elements, e.g. pushbuttons or touch controls,
  • one heating element may comprise or consist of a pair of close burners, e.g. a double- crown burner, and the corresponding control may comprise or consist of a single knob controlling both burners or a pair of close knobs respectively controlling the pair of burners.
