Abstract

The gas heating arrangement ( 1000, . . . , 4000 ) according to the present invention improves the heat transfer of a Kitchen hob that has moveable gas burners ( 1180, 2140, 2160 ). Either a support structure ( 1180 ) is moved along with the gas burner or the support structure has a curved shape ( 3400 ) according to the movement trajectory ( 6500 ) of a gas burner, while at the same time leaving the space of the gas burner where the flames emanate free in order to allow optimum heat transfer at any location of the moveable gas burner. The method according to the invention provides a pin device and a hole at a turntable ( 5100, 6250 ) in order to apply movement to the turntable while not having to touch hot elements.

First claim

The invention claimed is:

1. A gas heating arrangement, comprising:
a moveable gas burner,
a support structure to support a cooking vessel over the moveable gas burner, wherein the support structure is adapted to follow a shape of a trajectory of movement of two moveable gas burners, wherein the support structure comprises a moveable element.

2. The gas heating arrangement according to claim 1 , wherein the support structure has substantially the shape of the movement trajectory.

3. The gas heating arrangement according to claim 2 , wherein the support structure leaves an area corresponding to the size of the moveable gas burner free.

4. The gas heating arrangement according to claim 1 , wherein the movement trajectory has an arc shape.

5. The gas heating arrangement according to claim 1 , wherein the support structure comprises an oblong opening.

6. The gas heating arrangement according to claim 1 , wherein the moveable element and the moveable gas burner comprise a common moveable base.

7. The gas heating arrangement according to claim 6 , wherein the base is a turntable.

8. The gas heating arrangement according to claim 6 , wherein the base is supported on a baseplate.

9. The gas heating arrangement according to claim 7 , wherein the baseplate and the turntable form a support for a sealing.

10. The gas heating arrangement according to claim 9 , wherein the sealing is an annular ring or is formed by annular sectors.

11. The gas heating arrangement according to claim 7 wherein the turntable comprises a hole.

12. The gas heating arrangement according to claim 11 , further comprising a pin device.

13. A method for operating a gas heating arrangement according to claim 12 , wherein the pin device engages the hole in the turntable for moving the gas burner along a movement trajectory.

14. The method for operating a gas heating arrangement according to claim 13 , wherein the pin device is supported in a hole on the baseplate.
