Abstract

A burner with a tubular body has a proximal end, a distal end, and a medial portion therebetween and further defining an upper side and a lower side. The burner has a gas orifice on the proximal. A plurality of burner ports open on the top side and span between the medial portion to the distal end. At least one carry over port opens between the top side and bottom side of the body proximal to the plurality of burner ports. At least one transition ports opens on the medial portion of the body between the at least one carry over port and the plurality of burner ports.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A burner comprising:
a tubular body having a proximal end, a distal end, and a medial portion therebetween and further defining an upper side and a lower side;
a gas orifice on the proximal end; a plurality of burner ports opening on the top side and spanning between the medial portion to the distal end;
at least one carry over port opening between the top side and bottom side of the body proximal to the plurality of burner ports;
at least one transition ports opening on the medial portion of the body between the at least one carry over port and the plurality of burner ports; and
a carry over tube oriented perpendicularly to the tubular body and aligned proximate to the at least one carry over port;
wherein the carry over tube is offset distally from a center of the at least one carry over port and spaced apart from the tubular body to capture escaping flames from the at least one carry over port.

2. The burner of claim 1 , further comprising an upper stud inserted partially into the tubular body from the upper side and distally from a center of the at least one carry over port.

3. The burner of claim 2 , further comprising a lower stud inserted partially into the tubular body from the lower side and distally from the upper stud.

4. The burner of claim 3 , wherein the upper and stud and lower stud are both located proximally to the plurality of burner ports.

5. The burner of claim 1 , wherein the tubular body comprises a front piece and a rear piece, located proximally and distally, respectively, and the front piece is telescopingly received by the rear piece to adjust an overall length of the tubular body.

6. The burner of claim 5 , wherein the front piece and rear piece each provide part of the plurality of burner ports opening on the top side.

7. The burner of claim 5 , further comprising a lock stud selectively retaining the front piece and rear piece in a fixed position with respect to one another.

8. The burner of claim 5 , wherein the at least one carry over port and the at least one transition port are located exclusively on the front piece.

9. A burner assembly comprising:
a first tubular burner body having upper and lower sides, a distal end, a proximal end, and a medial portion; a plurality of top burner ports opening on the upper side of the medial portion of the first burner body;
at plurality of carry over ports opening between the upper and lower sides on the medial portion of the first burner body, proximal to the plurality of top burner ports;
a plurality of transition ports spanning radially between the plurality of top burner ports and plurality of carry over ports;
an upper stud inserted through the upper side into the first burner body proximate the transition ports; and
a lower stud inserted through the lower side into the first burner body distally located from the upper stud.

10. The burner assembly of claim 9 , wherein the upper stud extends at least half way through the burner body from the upper side to the lower side.

11. The burner assembly of claim 9 , wherein the lower stud extends at least halfway through the burner body from the lower side to the upper side.

12. The burner assembly of claim 9 , further comprising: a second burner; a carry over tube connecting the first and second burner; wherein the carry over tube is connected to the first burner perpendicularly thereto and proximate the carry over ports.

13. The burner assembly of claim 12 , wherein the carry over tube comprises a segment of open tubing with a plurality of ports defined therein opening toward the proximal end of the first burner.

14. The burner assembly of claim 13 , wherein the carry over tube comprises a lip above the plurality of ports defined therein.

15. The burner assembly of claim 13 , wherein the segment of open tubing of the carry over tube is offset distally from a center of the carry over ports.

16. A burner assembly comprising:
a plurality of tubular burners, parallel to one another, and each having a tubular body having upper and lower sides, a distal end, a proximal end, and a medial portion, the proximal ends each having an orifice for admitting gas;
top burner ports defined on the medial portions in the upper side of each of the plurality of tubular burners;
carry over ports defined between the upper and lower sides of the plurality of burner tubes proximal to the plurality of top burner ports;
transition ports defined between the top burner ports and the carry over ports on the plurality of tubular burners;
at least one carry over tube spanning perpendicularly between two adjacent ones of the plurality of burners and connecting to the two adjacent ones of the plurality of burner tubes distal from a center of the plurality of carry over ports but nearer the proximal ends of the two adjacent ones of the plurality of burners than the distal ends.

17. The burner assembly of claim 16 , further comprising an upper stud in at least one of the two adjacent ones of the plurality of burners located proximate the respective transition ports and distal from a center of the carry over ports.

18. The burner assembly of claim 17 , further comprising a lower stud distally located from the upper stud.
