Definitions

  • the invention relates to an assembly of a number of cooking devices for forming a number of cooking spots (burners), with a support for them and a kitchen countertop, as well as a mounting unit for them.
  • the invention furthermore relates to a method for fitting an assembly with cooking devices in a kitchen countertop.
  • Kitchens may traditionally be equipped with a multiple cooking device assembly that may be designed as a permanent part of a kitchen stove.
  • a cooktop provided with several cooking devices for as many cooking spots or burners by means of a drop-in range in a kitchen countertop, over an oven accommodated in a kitchen unit.
  • the oven initially was provided with operation knobs for the cooking devices, later on the operation knobs were positioned in a operation unit spaced apart adjacent to the burners, with which a further separation of functions was realised.
  • With the rise of microwave ovens and developments in kitchen design a further separation between the oven function and the cooking function in kitchens became possible over the years.
  • At least one of these objects is achieved according to the invention, from one aspect, by means of an assembly of a worktop or kitchen countertop provided with an upper surface and a number of cooking devices, which cooking devices each comprise a gas burner including burner body and a heat plate surrounding the gas burner, wherein the assembly furthermore comprises an undermount unit having a number of burner bodies for the gas burners, and a support for the burner bodies, wherein the worktop or kitchen countertop is provided with a primary through-hole for each individual burner body, wherein the undermount unit is placed at the lower side of the worktop or kitchen countertop and extends with each burner body from below from the support through the hole in question.
  • Such an assembly is easy to arrange.
  • Several cooking devices can be simultaneously fitted in one action.
  • the quantity of material to be removed out of the worktop can remain limited.
  • the upper surface of the worktop can be left largely undisturbed. Damage to the upper surface of the worktop is thus prevented.
  • the cooking devices are integrated better in the surroundings. Due to the solitary arrangement of the cooking devices with individual heat plates, less material is furthermore needed for the heat plate, usually the cooktop of stainless steel.
  • the burners with the burner bowls (also called burner head or burner crown or flame distributor) and burner caps can extend out of the heat plate above the worktop, after having been placed on the burner bodies (also called burner basis, in which the gas line debouches and mixing with combustion air takes place).
  • the support that may be plate-shaped, particularly tray-shaped, preferably box-shaped, can be made of cheap material, as it will remain out of sight.
  • the heat plates extend in radial outward direction to over the upper surface of the worktop, in which way they also cover the through-holes and facilitate the cleaning of the worktop.
  • the heat plates can be -directly or indirectly- attached to the undermount unit and the undermount unit can be provided with adjustable supporting means for the support, which supporting means engage onto a lower surface at the worktop to bias the heat plates against the upper surface of the worktop.
  • the through-holes can then be sealed against dirt and moisture, so that they will not end up in said space and the parts situated in there and below it.
  • the support may in one embodiment be detachable, in connection with repairing or replacing parts. Damage to the upper surface of the worktop is thus prevented.
  • the heat plates are part of individual housings for the burner bodies in question, which housings extend upwards from the support and are attached thereto.
  • the heat plates are attached - preferably detachably - to the rest of the housings in question.
  • the heat plates are detachably attached to the gas burners in question, particularly to the burner bodies.
  • the support is furthermore provided with a number of holders for a number of operation elements for the cooking devices in question, wherein the worktop is provided with one or more secondary through-holes for the holders, wherein, preferably, for each single holder for an operation element a secondary through-hole is provided in the worktop.
  • the secondary through-holes are vertical.
  • the support forms a box in which the carrier(s) for the burner(s) and burner bodies/burner interior(s), as well as the gas line(s) for them are accommodated.
  • the box walls protect said parts, so that they cannot get damaged prior to or during fitting and are not directly accessible for interventions by incompetent persons.
  • the box may have an upper wall on which said housings are attached in order to project upwardly therefrom and thus form an undermount unit that can easily be handled as one unity.
  • a pan support for a cooking device may at least partially support on the upper surface of the worktop.
  • the heat plates may form a support for burner flame distributors that are detachable therefrom without tools.
  • the heat plates may form a support for the pan supports.
  • the edge of the heat plates may form a centring means for the pan supports.
  • the invention provides an assembly of a worktop or kitchen countertop provided with an upper surface and an undermount unit having a number of cooking devices, wherein the cooking devices each from a joint undermount support extend through respective individual through-holes in the worktop and comprise individual heat or leakage plates.
  • Each cooking device may comprise a gas burner, wherein the heat plate surrounds the burner sidewards.
  • the invention provides an assembly of a worktop or kitchen countertop provided with an upper surface and at least one cooking device, which cooking device comprises a gas burner with burner body and a heat plate surrounding the gas burner, wherein the assembly furthermore comprises an undermount unit with a burner body for the gas burners, and a support for the burner body, wherein the kitchen countertop for the burner body is provided with its individual primary through-hole, wherein the undermount unit is placed at the lower side of the worktop and extends with each burner body from below from the support through the hole in question, wherein the heat plate in radial outward direction extends to over the upper surface of the worktop, wherein the heat plate is -directly or indirectly-attached to the undermount unit and the undermount unit is provided with adjustable supporting means for the support, which supporting means engage onto a lower surface on the worktop to bias the heat plate against the upper surface of the worktop.
  • the heat plate is attached on the burner body.
