A ceramic burner plaque is described being of a predetermined thickness defined between first and second planar surfaces and through which a plurality of burner ports (6) pass from one surface to the other. The ports are arranged in offset rows and a plurality of polygonal channels (10) are cut into the second surface (8) of the plaque, said channels also being arranged in offset fashion rows and being of a depth less than the thickness of the plaque. The channels are ideally octogonal in shape ...

A candle stand for holding and displaying a plurality of candles. The candle stand includes vertical rods that form a rigid tripod structure by attaching at the upper ends of the rods via washers, a pivoting, threaded attachment mechanism, and a threaded handle. The rods support horizontal rings that are provided with individual candle holders. The rods are provided with hooks spaced at intervals. The rings are provided with sets of projecting fingers that form channels. To attach the rings to t...

A gas-fired infrared radiation emitter with a frame, a screen removably attached to the frame, and a device for locking the screen to the frame. At least three receptacles are connected to each side of the frame, and at least one support is connected to each end of the frame. Three retaining bars extend from one side of the frame to the other and are used to lock secure the screen between such bars and the frame; and a fourth retaining bar extends from one end of the frame to the other and also ...

A burner head for a gas burner for improved flame stability and burner turndown is positioned in a longitudinally extending blast tube with an open end. The burner head includes a first surface facing in a direction transverse to the longitudinally extending blast tube and toward the open end, a second surface facing a direction transverse to the longitudinally extending blast tube and away from the open end and a third surface extending between the first and second surfaces. A first plurality o...

A device for igniting fuel, comprising at least one burner, the device comprising ignition means comprising an ignition element, the ignition means further comprising a movable element which is connected to a fluid line, such that a fluid contained in the fluid line, when it flows, creates a pressure difference across the movable element, as a result of which the movable element is set in motion, the movable element being connected with the ignition element, such that the movement of the movable...

Solar swimming pool heater panels which are rectangular or circular, black, plastic, floatable, corrugated, connectable, and rollable in bundles for placing on outdoor swimming pools for warming up and covering the water when not in use.

There is now provided a stove for cooking food or a cooktop for cooking food with at least one gas burner which is located in a cutout in a plate-shaped cover with a coating applied to the upper side of the cover plate.

Modern cooktops typically have a cook surface which is formed by a glass or glass-ceramic plate (1). As an alternative to the electrically heated cooking locations, cooking locations heated by a gas burner, called burner locations (2), can be provided. The heating location is heated by a gas burner. To avoid the use of complex exhaust-gas channels when using gas radiation burners and to further utilize the heat of the exhaust gas for heating the cooking utensil as well as for avoiding the use of...

A piezoelectric lighter incorporates with a safety arrangement which includes is movably mounted on a casing in a vertical movable manner wherein a guiding slot is provided on top of the casing to communicate with an exterior thereof. A locking member includes a locking arm disposed in the ignition cavity and an operation button slidably mounted on an ignition button. A resilient element is adapted for applying an urging pressure against the locking arm so as to normally retain the locking arm i...

A gas cooking stove is disclosed to which a very-small gas cylinder is joined in a one-touch manner and the state of joining is reliably maintained. When the gas cooking stove is used, the gas cooking stove can stably be installed. When the gas cooking stove is not used, the overall size can be reduced to save the space. Thus, the operability, safety and the portability can be improved. A valve mechanism, an operation member for opening/closing the valve mechanism and a piezoelectric spark unit ...
