A heater including a cylindrical housing with an inlet end, an outlet end, and an axis extending between the inlet end and the outlet end. A combustion chamber is positioned at least partially within the cylindrical housing. A base is coupled to the cylindrical housing. A user interface is operable to control combustion within the combustion chamber. The axis is positioned between the base and the user interface.

A collapsible radiative heater assembly is disclosed that may be configured to save space and protect sensitive mechanisms of the heater. The collapsible heater may include a burner unit, a body and a hollow collapsible neck. The body may further comprise a receiving device that includes a first locking mechanism and a second locking mechanism for the hollow collapsible neck. The assembly may also include a protective casing that is attached detachably to the body in order to protect components of the assembly during transport or storage.

A combination microwave and cooktop has a transparent lid that is movable between a closed position where the lid overlays burners and an open position that exposes the burners. The microwave is located inside an enclosure that affixes the microwave through apertures in a bottom wall of the enclosure. A front trim bezel surrounds the front of the microwave and is affixed to the enclosure. Airflow for ventilation around the microwave is accomplished through vents in the rear wall of the enclosure and apertures in a top portion of the front trim bezel.

A decorative device which includes at least one controllable winch (8) which is intended for unwinding and winding up an elongated non-rigid element (4), and the elongated non-rigid element (4) is connected to a respective burner (11) at one end (6) and to the at least one winch (8) at the other end (7), and the burner (11) can be moved down towards the floor (1) and up away from the floor (1) with the unwinding and winding up of the elongated non-rigid element (4), characterised in that the burner (11) can be ignited to generate a flame by means of an igniter via a controller (9) arranged outside the burner (11).

A cooking appliance capable of preventing a user's unintended rotation of a knob assembly includes: a main body including a control panel; a valve positioned inside the main body, and including a valve shaft being pushable and rotatable; and a knob assembly including an inner knob coupled with the valve shaft, and an outer knob being movable with respect to the inner knob in a first direction in which the outer knob approaches the inner knob, wherein, when the outer knob moves by a first push distance in the first direction, the valve shaft and the inner knob are prevented from rotating.

A collapsible radiative heater assembly is disclosed that may be configured to save space and protect sensitive mechanisms of the heater. The collapsible heater may include a burner unit, a body and a hollow collapsible neck. The body may further comprise a receiving device that includes a first locking mechanism and a second locking mechanism for the hollow collapsible neck.

A cooking appliance includes a secondary venting arrangement within an oven cavity to supplement a primary venting arrangement with localized venting of combustion products adjacent a flame detector that detects a flame emitted by a gas burner disposed under the oven cavity. Doing so may assist with stabilizing the flame generated by the gas burner prior to establishment of steady state flow pattern within the oven cavity.

A radiant heating assembly including a burner for heating a heat exchanger and a reflector generally disposed about the heat exchanger. The reflector comprising a base defining a first air chamber. The reflector may also comprise one or more wings removably coupled to the base. The wings may be configured to define a second air chamber. The radiant heating assembly may also comprise an air circulation pump configured to draw air through the air chamber of the base and/or wing and provide the air to the burner to improve the efficiency of the combustion process.

A cooking appliance includes a gas valve mounting assembly for mounting a gas valve for a gas cooktop burner to a control panel of the appliance. The gas valve mounting assembly includes a valve attachment plate that secures to and generally circumscribes the gas valve and extends generally transversely to an actuation axis of the gas valve, as well as multiple standoffs having respective first and second ends and extending generally parallel to the actuation axis of the gas valve to secure the valve attachment plate to the control panel.
